(1) I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. Having to process it as well. I haven’t suffered like my wife has, my suffering is in seeing what it has done to her. I never bought in, but she did, and I failed to protect her from it b/c I failed to understand it’s impact.
For those women and men who have suffered in complementarian/patriarchal spaces, what did it feel like deep down in your bones, heart and soul?

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
