1/ Learning loss didn’t come from “lockdowns” or remote instruction. It COMES FROM (still happening) illness. Illness caused by COVID. Illness that makes kids miss school and teachers miss teaching. SICK DAYS. And the vascular damage that causes incapacity to think & retain. This is still happening.

"Alice supported and took many people with Long COVID under her wing — I was honored to call her a colleague and friend." @mileswgriffis.bsky.social in @thesicktimes.org's obituary for the great Alice Wong: thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

“She explained how much Covid could hurt her & how vulnerable it felt to be unable to wear a mask to protect herself. She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them” If you want to honour Alice Wong’s memory, please mask up

1) OMG we did it‼️‼️ In this film for #MEawarenessmonth, five medical doctors open up about living with #PAIS/#IACC conditions like ME, #longCOVID, and chronic #Lyme. It’s a format that I believe has never been shown before. They speak candidly about their experiences youtu.be/J0ywwLIfH_w?...

My brother is a kinda Michael Phelps freak of nature 6’6 220 guy, he was the fourth fastest in the nation when he was 15, went to college as a sprinter for the polo team. He said he practiced with Natalie Coughlin and she cooked him. All this shit is just sour sixth-place finishers who want fifth

Guess who just “remembered” what stinging nettles look like, about 2 seconds too late

Swollen penumbra, undulating wondra, a world of wormwood wound so tight the worms are fighting their way out. Call the final product: clout

ok i screamed at this one

thinking about the pedialyte social media intern fighting for their life against the party animals on facebook again

Auto-immune disorders, and post-viral sequelae, are *way* more common in cis women than cis men. They seem to be way more common in *anyone* running on estrogen. 90% of people with lupus are women, 75% of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers are women, women are 4x more likely to get post-viral CFS.

Children have died who have recovered from Cancer, only to be lost to COVID. Same for so many patients. It’s not acceptable that five years on there is no correct PPE in healthcare. No clean air and restricted vaccines. One life isn’t worth less than another and this is dividing families too.

Allowing people to make their own choices regarding safety during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has resulted in a dangerous situation of collective negligence, because most people tend to be careless and reckless, and will exercise caution only if they are strongly required to do so. #COVID19

Be aware, many hospitals are allowing their covid positive staff to work “ if they don’t have a fever.” Haven’t heard if they are required to mask. Hospitals are now even more unsafe if you don’t want to contract covid. Can you imagine if they did this with any other infectious disease?

The problem with Doctors and nurses masking when requested is that if you have a COVID infection, you have already then contaminated the room you are working in and many medical rooms are poorly ventilated. That means one gap in a highly vulnerable patients mask could cause hospitalisation or worse.

Both me and my daughter got #LongCovid after our first infections. We were both fully vaccinated. I have been bedbound for 3 years and she can't walk more than a few meters.

Hi @theglobeandmail.com, if you're going to publish a whole article on the history of how masks have been stigmatized - please get the science right. We're still in an airborne pandemic. N95 masks are FOR everyone. Not just the vulnerable. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/6f8ae90...

More evidence of Covid-induced brain damage… “results showed significant hypometabolism in the bilateral frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, as well as in the left occipital lobe, along with predominantly frontal EEG slowing in post-COVID-19 patients” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A lot of people who keep saying “but people who are really disabled will be fine” are about to find out that “disabled” is a real schrodinger's cat type of label where you’re disabled for the purposes of elimination targeting and able-bodied for the purposes of benefits

Ignoring Covid was the glaring sign for what was to come. Ain’t none of this a surprise.

Friends who are busy planning their escape to Thailand or whatever are telling me how to feel about my life being cut short. Honestly fuck all of them. I didn't see ableds showing up in droves to fight this in DC. I saw disabled people dragged out of wheelchairs and zip tied. Fuck ableds. I'm done.

One of the most straightforward, radical, life affirming actions you can take right now is wearing a K/N95 mask. Community care & self care rolled into one easy act. Show up for yourself and your neighbors.

My misgivings regarding AI is more about it is like Brawndo, definitely won’t go away but will seep into everything and rot us from the inside without anyone have any real idea what it will actually be good for in the first place

I don’t hear that at all. I just hear that the things it does are at best Bad for society, but usually just bad for the user. And that seems bad. And it seems like somebody should be stopping that bad thing from- oops it’s in my cereal now somehow

Sadly… we knew this was coming. 🥺

Pour your misery down on me, it’ll roll right off the heap of misery I already got

Please help my friend rescue their cat. I will pitch in $20 right now. #MutualAid @mutualaidvoid.bsky.social @mutualaidpod.bsky.social

Doctors are not gods. There are plenty of doctors without egos and scientists who have been studying covid for over half a decade. They’re doing the thankless work of recording the far-reaching effects and distributing the info. In this individualistic hellscape, I’m listening to them.

NOTHING YET ON THIS. ALSO NOTHING NEW IN A WEEK FROM LAST MONTH'S. FLIGHT TOMORROW. $18 TO MY NAME. HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP

USA: OSHA moves to end COVID-19 recordkeeping rules for healthcare employers. The proposal would remove the requirement for healthcare employers to log COVID cases and report related hospitalisations or deaths to OSHA, affecting 562,000+ facilities and 10.3M workers. Source: archive.md/Hjmmt

Do libraries have foam pits? Because they should

Sure sex is good… .. but have you ever felt the snug straps of a brand new N95 ? #TightAF #Unshrinked

Long Covid has many repercussions on the body, from endothelial/vascular/heart to kidneys, lungs, nervous central system and brain damage, to mitochondrial dysfunction, to immunity depletion, endocrine issues, DNA methylation, protein misfolding, and its oncogenic. Sars2 is a biohazard.

happy birthday to the author of the best tweet in history

So @danitasteinberg.bsky.social 1. You're in charge of your event. You need to actually pay attention to what's going on. For the few minutes I was there you were outside talking to your group of friends instead. 2. You need to explain to people working at your event that being unmasked... 🧵

Ask @danitasteinberg.bsky.social And spread the word, even MASKED at the Movies isn't fucking Covid safe. I'm wasting a ton of taxi fare I can barely afford. I really hoped to meet some Covid safe people, but that'a ruined now.
