Household Pulse Survey (HPS)…an Internet questionnaire…by…Census Bureau…includes questions regarding “any symptoms lasting 3 months or longer that you did not have prior to having coronavirus or COVID-19.” [Note] that the list of long-term symptoms, provided for this question, may not reflect all sequelae of covid infection, e.g., systemic organ damage or increased susceptibility to subsequent infections and other adverse health outcomes.

NCHS uses HPS responses to estimate incidence of [LC] in adult population. With [retraction & new stidoes] now assume U.S. under 18 population (22% of total) meet criteria for [LC] at same rate as adults.

Illustration of two figures clasping hands in solidarity.

On the left, a blonde white man with yellow-dyed mohawk and earring, wearing blue jeans, studded black leather jacket, and matching studded black earloop face mask.

On the right, a bald Black man, in blue jeans and short-sleeve red polo shirt with white stripes and oversize Fred Perry-esque wings on breast, wearing a white head-strap mask.

Text at top an bottom in all-caps block lettering, variously skewed on the z-axis, reads:

LOUD AND FAST

PUNKS WEAR MASK

#introduction

Trepidatious as to whether belong.

Not confident what myself do ranks as humanities. Does muckraking qualify? A philosophy with acrid aftertaste of social sciences?

Am one who makes sport of the sacred spherical cows that haunt our discursive zeitgeist.

Always had sense of humanities as hallowed—cloistered sanctum of stewards of archive—much unlike this here person setting fire to old manuscripts as performance art, a sacrilege perhaps best not performed in cathedral catacombs…

My particular focus tends to be in area of critical semantics and critical etymology—with attention to how currency of words set the boundaries of discourse, and in turn the horizons of collective imagination, most prominently, the sociotechnical imaginary that is capitalist realism.

Might enjoy being in a community wherein such nitpickery and neologism, as are part and parcel of said mode of inquiry, are not immediately shut down with appeals to authority of the vernacular.

#Normalcy is dead.
Yet we have yet to bury it.
Climate would've killed it—if #covid hadn't.

Yet normalcy is dead.
Yet we have yet to bury it.
We only got so many #spoons.

We can bury ourselves or bury the dead.
We only got so many spoons.

Use them wisely.
