MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today is Day of Silence at many schools across the US, at least at those with the courage to ignore Trump's threats against DEI and against the lgbtq community. On this day, many students and teachers take a vow of silence in solidarity with lgbtq people throughout the world who are silenced by homophobic and transphobic laws, threats and violence, and to help educate their peers about homophobia and transphobia.</p><p>I am proud to say that scores of my students (both gay and straight) participated today by wearing stickers and, in many cases, remaining silent for the entire morning. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dayofsilence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dayofsilence</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transrightsarehumanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transrightsarehumanrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>students</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/schools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>schools</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freespeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freespeech</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Covid is no worse than the flu?</p><p>I know, I have now led dozens of posts over the past few years with this sarcastic question. But now, with the pandemic officially declared over by the politicians and the majority of the public behaving as though Covid19 is no longer a threat, it seems particularly apropos in light of the reasons for declaring the pandemic over: to get people back to work and back to consuming. Yet, as the data from this study show, Long Covid has had an enormous negative impact on the income and quality of life for millions of Americans, particularly the poor and working class, and particularly for African Americans and women.</p><p>*Nearly 1 in 7 working-age adults in the U.S. had experienced Long Covid by the end of 2023<br>*Socially disadvantaged adults were 152% more likely to suffer from Long Covid<br>*Groups with higher risk for Long Covid include being Black, LGBTQ, Hispanic, Female, or low income<br>*In 2022, people with Long Covid lost $211 billion in wages<br>*In 2023, people with Long Covid lost $218 billion in wages</p><p>One reason for the disproportionate effect of Long Covid on marginalized communities, particularly BIPOC and poor people, is that these groups suffer disproportionately from chronically elevated levels of the stress hormone, Cortisol, due to the stress caused by racism, sexism, homophobia, and poverty. Elevated Cortisol levels are also associated with increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes, as well as impaired immune function.</p><p>For a really good documentary on the Social Determinants of Health and the relationship between racism and poverty on stress/cortisol levels and negative health outcomes, please see the Unnatural Causes video series</p><p><a href="https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/studies-1-7-us-working-age-adults-report-long-covid-heaviest-burden-poor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/studie</span><span class="invisible">s-1-7-us-working-age-adults-report-long-covid-heaviest-burden-poor</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVID19</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/longcovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longcovid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wages</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialdeterminantsofhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialdeterminantsofhealth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sexism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cortisol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cortisol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastadon</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 25, 1957: U.S. Customs seized copies of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" on obscenity grounds. Poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and City Lights manager, Shigeyoshi Murao, were arrested on obscenity charges for publishing and distributing the poem. Howl was inspired, in part, by a terrifying peyote vision Ginsberg had in which the façade of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, in San Francisco, appeared as the monstrous face of a child-eating demon. The obscenity charges stemmed from homophobic responses to his explicit references to homosexuality. Ginsberg’s first experience with LSD, as well as Kerouac’s and Burroughs’s, was with acid provided by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, one-time husband of and long-time collaborator with Margaret Mead. You can read more about Bateson and Mead’s early experimentation with, and promotion of, psychedelics (and their collaboration with the CIA) in the recent book, “Tripping on Utopia.”</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/howl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>howl</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/allenginsburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allenginsburg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lawrenceferlinghetti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lawrenceferlinghetti</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/citylights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>citylights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obscenity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obscenity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bannedbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bannedbooks</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/kerouac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kerouac</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/williamburoughs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>williamburoughs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lsd</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peyote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peyote</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/margaretmead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>margaretmead</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gregorybateson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gregorybateson</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/psycheldelics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psycheldelics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poet</span></a> @bookstadon</p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratifications are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/feminist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feminist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sexism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EqualRightsAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EqualRightsAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teachers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unions</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collectivebargaining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>collectivebargaining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ERA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ERA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/phyllisschlafly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phyllisschlafly</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abortion</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/choice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>choice</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/equalpay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>equalpay</span></a></p>
