#MentalHealth
Later, when I was 16-17, my relative had another crisis. I won't go into details. I went to a nearby field, and I screamed with all my soul once. So that I could be heard from space.
I will always remember that moment. I imagined a few months later that the old me would speak to me, that he/I would tell me that a future awaited me.
I never came to meet my younger self, because it is not possible.
I had to reach the age of 26 to realise that I could have a future.
For other reasons and this. Please do not share this text.
Voilà. 2/2

Dear Diary,
I have finally found out why I cry every time I watch Interstellar, the film.
On first viewing, I thought it was empathy with the actor's emotion.
And tonight I wanted to know if I would cry again.
Because I cry less and less, once a year, sometimes less. That doesn't make a man, rather a man who is less human.
And I cried, it felt so good. Those drops running down my right cheek. The trembling that was associated with it.
And the understanding of my transference.
When I was 13, I saw a close relative crying and saying strong things about life. I escaped into a nearby field, where I used to build my house with straws. Only the boundaries on the ground. And a kind of small arch to symbolise the entrance. At that time there were still poppies everywhere, that I used to decorate this arch.

#COVID #SARSCoV2 evolution #SARSCoV3
As the family of coronaviruses affecting humans grows, with ever more adapted "modules".
The #SARSCoV2 returns to animals to evolve again and sometimes comes back to us.
Like the Hong Kong hamsters that timidly spread the delta variant in the midst of the omicron wave.
It didn't go far. But it didn't evolve with humans in mind. It could have been much worse because what is benign/fitter for an animal can potentiate its pathogenicity in humans.
This is what the #OneHealth approach is, monitoring these cases.
Because sometimes, in the future, this variant will recombine with a related coronavirus.
It'll be SARSCoV3, it shall be mild or it shall be worse than ever. Because we have allowed this virus to adapt to ourselves. It now has all the modules.
All it needs to do is scramble its genetic code to expel all the weakening mutations we ourselves have produced in it. And keep the worst of it.
"There’s no online access to the Environment Agency’s national register of pollution sources: instead, as one lawyer acting for a rivers charity found out, you must visit the agency’s office in Lichfield, where it’s stored, exclusively, on an ancient desktop computer. The computer freezes when you try to open it. There’s no way of downloading the documents, and the printer attached to it doesn’t work."

There is a huge work to do with social media regulation.
Especially the way they give you back your data. And the interoperability.
More or less it's like you ask about the notebook of poetry you have written and they give you back data on a toilet paper roll.
And each place do not accept other places paper rolls. Even the originating social media app can't upload back your prose.
They make everything to be sure that you will have no other use of your data than... [I let you guess]
There should be a universal interoperability to upload your data everyplace you want. Like a smartphone charger's plug. Otherwise it is monopolistic. **And for the #cybersecurity it means you can't save your own data.**
A credible and sustainable social media should be able to provide to you all your data organised in a universal file system. So that you can be nomad again. And upload everywhere you want. Even in the #fediverse
"As Black feminists we are made constantly and painfully aware of how little effort white women have made to understand and combat their racism, which requires among other things that they have a more than superficial comprehension of race, color, and Black history and culture. Eliminating racism in the white women’s movement is by definition work for white women to do, but we will continue to speak to and demand accountability on this issue."

" It draws on the concept of sexual humanitarianism, referring to how neoliberal constructions of vulnerability associated with sexual behaviour are implicated in humanitarian forms of support and control of migrant populations"

"Neither Illumina nor the FDA has received any reports of the vulnerabilities being exploited, the agency said."

Imagine if YouTube was shut down.
It would be a literal tragedy for the human race. Billions of hours worth of creativity would disappear in an instant.
"That would never happen!" some believe.
But it already has.
Remember Google+? All of it's gone forever.
Or remember all that media stored on MySpace? It's vanished.
We must stop depending on Big Tech to archive our data. Their mandate is to profit off our data, not preserve it.

Medical wishlist for a disabled guy, boost appreciated
Hey everyone,
I just created a medical wishlist in case any of you can and want to help me. Don't feel obligated of course!
I'd need stuff for my sciatica, my reeducation, more comfortable crutches, an oximeter due to POTS, a bathroom scale...
Here's the link:
https://www.amazon.fr/hz/wishlist/ls/13BLSZ4293BT2?ref_=wl_share
Btw, we live without boiler, that's why I added the camping shower which is not a medical item, but still really important for our health!
Thank you. 🙏🏻
