Too poor for council or housing association homes

By the Labour Campaign for Council Housing A report from the housing campaign Crisis, in collaboration with Heriot-Watt University and the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence, indicates that around a third of housing associations surveyed said pre-tenancy affordability checks determined that the applicant would not be given a tenancy due to “too low an income or insecure finances”.

My publication, Brief Ecology, is currently hosted on Substack. Which…I do not want to continue indefinitely. The main issue I have in switching is that the publication exists as both a website and a newsletter, and ideally I’d like to move it somewhere that handles both. Wondering if Ghost is my only option here?

Buttondown is another option. I would avoid MailChimp as they have had some privacy issues. @sarae

Uma fotografia em preto e branco mostra um grupo de pessoas em uma reunião ao ar livre. Em primeiro plano, uma pessoa está segurando uma placa de papel retangular. A placa diz em letras grandes e pretas: COLABORES O CARALHO. Ao redor da pessoa que segura a placa, há outras pessoas, vistas da cintura para cima. Uma pessoa em primeiro plano está olhando para a câmera com uma expressão séria. Ao fundo, há uma estrutura longa e baixa que parece ser um prédio, e mais pessoas podem ser vistas reunidas. A imagem parece ser de um protesto ou manifestação.

Huh. This Christmas season, a book that entirely panned at launch is my most popular sale.

True, its free for right now, but nobody much liked it at the time.

Britain ends new fossil fuel exploration. The government has introduced a legal moratorium on all new oil and gas exploration licences, ending five decades of North Sea expansion and aligning policy with 1.5°C targets. Existing fields will keep producing under stricter climate tests, but future investment will now flow to offshore wind, carbon-free heat and upgrades to the grid.

🔗 Association of Autonomic Dysfunction With Long COVID: Evaluation Using Quantitative Autonomic Testing

Compared with control subjects, patients with long COVID exhibited both a greater heart rate increase and blood pressure drop with active standing and tilt-table testing (all P < 0.05). They also had lower Valsalva ratios and respiratory sinus arrhythmia values than did control subjects (both P < 0.05). Compared with pure autonomic failure patients, patients with long COVID had a greater heart rate increase but a lower drop in blood pressure with active standing and tilt-table testing and lesser respiratory sinus arrhythmia values and Valsalva ratios (all P < 0.001). After age and sex adjustment, autonomic dysfunction measures in patients with long COVID were comparable with those in the pure autonomic failure group. Further, autonomic testing abnormalities were observed in patients referred up to 40 months after infection.
