Canada spends less per person on disability benefits than the US, has minimal RGI housing and has no SNAP program. Poor disabled Canadians are kept in destitution 50% below the poverty line and pay market price for all their needs. Direct Aid saves lives. Solidarity with our cousins to the south.

Excited for day two of the excellent @icancmeresearch.bsky.social conference! Starting now! #ICanCME2025

Thanks for sharing this Solve. We appreciate it.

CBC is platforming unproven pseudoscientific brain retraining programs for #LongCOVID. In reality, some people recover others do not, no matter what they try. This approach lays the blame on patients who don't get better because they're not trying hard enough.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

“Aria, 27, first noticed her hair falling out after she had Covid in 2021. “It started receding at the temples,” she says, adding that, after two further bouts of Covid, the hair on the side of her head is now fluffy and sparse." x.com/haziethompso...

Don’t leave anyone behind.

A government that will lie about everything from warfare to welfare isn’t going to make an exception for an ongoing pandemic. Covid is not over.

Twenty one pages of questions to start a disability application vs one page for MAID.

We're going to talk about c19 today and I'm going to ask you all in advance to not zone out like you do when we're talking about it in person😑 Covid not "a cold" - it attacks every system of the body, making it weaker to every other kind of infection. There's another illness that does similar.

Canada lacks data on children & youth with Long COVID, unlike the 6M in the USA. This insightful and timely article shows how multi-site pediatric data sharing works with consent, governance, and secure systems. ped-rheum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Had a Stellate Ganglion Block yesterday. Procedure was straightforward with no unexpected adverse effects. Some heaviness on the left side of my face. No crash (yet haha) Told not to expect much from the first shot & that the second & third would reveal any possible benefit.

California to make and sell its own low cost insulin…a 5 pack will cost around $55 No one should have to ration meds No one should fear financial ruin because they need meds When Frederick Banting sold the patent for insulin, he made it $1 A Canadian, he said life saving meds were for everyone

“Extreme fatigue that turned mornings into catatonic nightmares. Brain fog that made memories slippery. Incessant vomiting. It all kept her out of class, stuck in the nurse’s office — or out of school entirely.” www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

The temporary ‘inconvenience’ of wearing a mask should be closely weighed against the seemingly permanent ‘nuisance’ of losing everything you have while laying riddled with illness, helplessly bound to a bed that has become your prison.

We should do our best to isolate from our pets if we find ourselves infected! www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/nea...

Covid continues to quietly disable the brains, organs & immune systems of the population. Folks are actively discouraged from protecting themselves & their communities. The already less than adequate supports available are being dismantled. MAID is on the rise. This is a cull.

“If we assume, conservatively, that it takes 12 to 15 years to develop acceptable therapeutics for Long COVID, and then another 18 years for them to reach clinical practice, people my age — and yours — will have passed before they get help. We need to accelerate this.”

“Children who have Covid twice are at double the risk of experiencing long Covid.” “The findings, published Tuesday, challenge the perception that Covid cases in children are “mild,” as well as the notion that re-infections do not carry the same risk” www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

“Covid is not benign in children. In January, a review highlighted the wide-ranging impact of long-Covid on children and adolescents, including persistent respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms.” archive.ph/2025.09.24-0...

My hair My skin My teeth My lungs My heart My kidneys My brain My immune system My thyroid My nails My energy My vision My nervous system My hearing All things damaged by a ‘mild’ covid infection. Mask up. Look out for each other.

This amazingly brave LGBTQ+ refugee and her baby arrived in Canada today, and will need lots of financial help to get trauma treatment and settled in. Please donate!!!

Why does Rebeka have to beg for 50c while a fucking white racist lady can raise $750 000 for yelling racial slurs at a Black child in a park? Rebeka is a Black non-binary cancer patient who needs financial support to access healthcare. They're not even asking for a huge amount. Help them????

Them: We don’t know why everyone is so sick. Me: Fallout from multiple Covid infections? Them: Yeah, probably. Me: That’s why I mask. Them: Smart move. Me: Maybe you could think abou… Them, walking away: Oop, gotta run. Take care…

I’m honestly very impressed & surprised by how little people w/ ME crash out on the internet, all things considered

I'm still very ill right now but I have received little mutual aid this month and I seriously need to address my impending bills🤦🏽‍♀️ $maelee21 V: @ Maelee-Johnson PayPal.me/maeleeJ ko-fi.com/maedaej #HelpFolksLive2025

As COVID's long term consequences are revealed to the public, by brute force, what credibility will be left for all those physicians who minimized COVID and encouraged their patients to become infected again and again? It will be a crisis for the profession of epic proportions.

We spent $150K in the last month and only raised $58K. Thankfully the earlier Itch Bundle fundraiser meant that we haven’t yet ran out. All support is deeply appreciated to keep Gazans connected through forced starvation & colonial violence: bit.ly/eSimsRUs #ConnectingGaza

“In 2023 there were about 700,000 “missing Americans”—those who died in 2023 but would be alive if they had lived somewhere else.” slate.com/technology/2...

We're looking forward to seeing a lot of people here on 9/7. Please help us spread the word.

“COVID is still around, people are still dying from it, but all the support has been taken away,” Goulding said. “The pandemic still isn’t over, but everybody’s acting like it is.” archive.ph/2025.08.16-1...

Shingles. HPV. Herpes. HIV. We aren’t new to long lasting impacts from viruses. We have been subject to a relentless barrage of propaganda when it comes to the relatively new (just over half a decade) but widely documented ill effects of post acute Covid infections.

“In conclusion, the majority of patients who opted for HBOT reported a significant and clinically relevant increase in quality of life 3 months after treatment. However, a minority of patients reported a significant and relevant deterioration after HBOT.” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Seeing inspirational posts that assume your only problem is LC or ME (or other chronic illness) might be my psychic undoing. Like poverty exists, isolation exists, food & medical deserts exist. Sometimes there’s nothing to hold onto.

This might be a wild take, but public spaces (healthcare, transit, grocery stores, pharmacies etc) should be accessible to everyone & no one should have to risk death or disability from a virus by going to one

Weird moment today when a woman whispered “why?” right into my ear as she passed by me on the sidewalk. I think it was in reference to my mask but I can’t be certain. It was unsettling but at least I managed to get outside, I guess.

I’m trying to figure out how #COVID and #LongCovid can affect women's periods (by disrupting brain circuitry involving the hypothalamus) for a big project. Do you or anyone you know have had disruptive changes in the menstrual cycles after getting COVID or any of the symptoms below?

PLEASE SHARE! I'm reporting on #H5N1 #BirdFlu (#AvianInfluenza #HPAI) for @thesicktimes.bsky.social, & want to talk to farmworkers or people who work with them re impacts of H5N1 on farmworkers. I'm especially interested in hearing re human cases since Feb 2025. Sources can be anonymous! (1/4)

“One guideline recommends exercise for people with an acute infection to prevent Long COVID — which isn’t supported by any evidence, and many people with the disease, including Patiño, say it actually increases the risk.” thesicktimes.org/2025/07/08/e...
