Please help our friend @maedayj.bsky.social stay housed, with groceries and medical care. Last month was really scary and Mae needs to be on time for April! Be a blessing to Mae the way she is for others! If you can't help, please share! 💖🌺❤️🌸✨

The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

My GoFundMe is a year old and only halfway funded. Help us stay safer. More funds mean more options. Homeless people, survivors, single people, women, disabled people, solitary people with no family are more vulnerable to abuse and harm. Please help.

“Respirator masks (K/N95) are designed specifically to prevent inhalation of threats like asbestos or COVID-19. They have a much better filter than medical masks.” “Loose-fitting medical masks allow air to enter through the sides, making them inherently much less safe.” thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Covid can still kill you. Covid can make it easier for other things to kill you. Just because it doesn’t kill you right away doesn’t mean it won’t kill you or contribute to killing you. Covid kills. Long covid kills. Immune damage kills. Chronic inflammation kills. parade.com/health/dange...

Covid deaths continue to be undercounted, not to mention the untold numbers of folks with new chronic health issues & disabilities. This is the greatest public health failure & ongoing series of medical missteps in modern history. www.scientificamerican.com/article/covi...

You are not sick in 2026 because of a lockdown that happened in 2020.

This is not good Argentina officially withdraws from World Health Organization, following US www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

I hope this #LongCovidAwarenessDay manages to open at least one set of eyes about the scope and depth of this ongoing problem. I hope one more person decides to start wearing K/N95 masks to protect themselves & others from contracting or exacerbating this horrific illness.

“COVID-19 really has had a profound impact in terms of long-lasting symptoms that affect all kinds of different parts of the body, at a much higher rate than we usually see from other viruses,”

People are developing Long Covid after their third, fourth, fifth, etc infection. It’s still circulating, still disabling and, in some cases still deadly. You’ve gotta ask yourself what your ‘lucky’ number is going to be.

I’m still relatively new here. Covid isn’t over.

hey humans. i need to raise $100 before 3/17 to get a car diagnostic done for DMV. it’s scheduled at a referred auto mechanic shop for next Tuesday at 9a please share and help! thank you so much. a car is all i have and anything helps. V SNDesiree C $SNDesiree

Six years since the official declaration of the ongoing pandemic & all we’ve managed to do is regress. I fear for all our futures. #MaskUpFightBack

We cannot stay silent about this as to do so is to be complicit in the illogical & amoral approach of facilitating brain damage as part of the learning experience. “37 % of the undergraduates exhibited impaired cognition up to 17 months post-infection.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Today is the sixth anniversary of the purposeful attack that led to my Covid infection & subsequent development of Long Covid. One short interaction whose violence has yet to end. Please, if you have the means, consider supporting this goal. gofund.me/b8571f7ef

Be a Baddie🌸

Our children are being repeatedly infected with an airborne pathogen and everyone is just shrugging their shoulders as though there’s nothing we can do. We have failed.

Everyone keeps getting sick with the thing that they swear is over.

“New research from The Ohio State University College of Medicine is the first to objectively measure multisensory losses in COVID-19 patients.” Multisensory loss has been linked to brain damage & the possible development of Alzheimer’s. #MaskUpFightBack medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03...

So many “Disability Advocates” so little masking. Obviously there are folks for whom masking is not feasible but I doubt they are in the majority. There is wholesale denial of the ongoing pandemic at every intersection and it’s damaging to everyone.

“The search for long COVID treatments continues, as international researchers have found that a two-week course of metformin or ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) did not meaningfully improve recovery.” www.scimex.org/newsfeed/dia...

Not enough people are talking about this sudden increase in disability.

If you need a reason to do whatever you can to avoid COVID, here’s about a half million of them…take your pick. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cor...

“More than half of people in a cross-sectional study reporting on long COVID said their ability to work was poor, yet most were still working, suggesting a substantial burden of “presenteeism,” or reduced productivity while on the job” www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/man...

Covid is oncogenic, increases your chance of heart disease & stroke, seriously weakens your immune system, can bring on POTS, MCAS, ME, diabetes & myriad other disabling chronic illnesses but folks trying to protect themselves are ‘overreacting’ Cool, cool, cool.

BBC: “Long Covid patients are forgotten, ex-GP says” ‘A doctor whose career was ended by long Covid said living victims of the virus were being forgotten by politicians and the NHS’ www.bbc.com/news/article...

Today is the last day of February and rent is DUE. I'm working with @ziibiing.com at Stand With Minnesota to raise funds to pay rents for ICE impacted families. You can send funds to me V: colocharachel $:ColochaRachel OR submit a form to adopt a rent: www.standwithminnesota.com/adoptarent 🌻🌻

The coolest looking (k/n95) mask is the one you’re wearing.

So close to meeting this goal and being able to clear some medical debt. Thanks to all who share & support. xo

“Black Americans have experienced high rates of coronavirus infection, hospitalization, and death”“Those factors are now leading experts to sound the alarm about what may come next: a prevalence of long Covid in the Black community and a lack of access to treatment.” www.msm.edu/RSSFeedArtic...

Covid can set off a cascade of side effects, many disabling, some deadly. This is a tragedy. www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/...

The BBC made some editorial choices and none of them deserve your defense or support.

Since we’re all about disability accommodations today why not wear your care on your face in the form of a K/N95 respirator!

Many disabled and chronically ill people are demonized for not working full-time jobs, when the truth is they can be forced out due to inaccessible policies. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

I'm planning to sell my walking sticks in other patterns! Which patterns would you like them to be in next? I'll be doing 1-3 new patterns depending on people's responses. You can check out my store to see existing patterns. I can also design new ones. My Store: Bibipins.com

Saturday share! Almost at the goal line! gofund.me/41abeff01

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

One of the reasons I don’t share “you’re more likely to develop Long Covid if you’re X,Y and/or Z” posts is because it gives folks who aren’t X,Y and/or Z a false sense of security and makes them less likely to take preventative measures. Everyone. Is. At. Risk. #MaskUp

None them are talking about a simple hack that decreases your chances of both short & long term illness by 95% Wear an N95 mask!

A recent Congressional letter accuses DHS of not being compliant with a major civil rights law due to the mistreatment of disabled ICE detainees. As I reported for @motherjones.com, this is worsened by the fact DHS' office for civil rights has TWO EMPLOYEES now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“In 2024, Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields shared that he had not fully recovered four years after first being infected, and that he was still experiencing neurological issues that left the notoriously prolific musician unable to finish writing any new songs.” thesicktimes.org/2026/02/17/t...

Do you see it yet? “Die faster”.

Disabled, chronically ill, & marginalized communities have long histories of organizing, educating, & caring for each other. We carry on this legacy by creating evidence-based resources on Long COVID & associated conditions – check out our explainer series, made with @thesicktimes.org! tiny.cc/LCE

A brief history. I was attacked in 2020. I have been crowdfunding for medical debt & living expenses. I am almost at the goal line. Please help. Please share. Thank you so very much. gofund.me/563063dea
