For as big a deal it is, it is kinda shocking that I've been living this long with untreated sleep apnea.

lack of care for thy fellow man is expressed in verbal and nonverbal behaviors—active rudeness, passive maskless face; both are born from stepping back from the reality that we are interconnected.

The cameras out here getting freaky

$1.1m easily. Didn't even have to think about it.

Yes I notice when someone didn’t bring up disability at all when they were arguing for their bad technology idea but then bring it up when all the other arguments aren’t working Disabled people aren’t a vehicle for scoring rhetorical points 🙃

Fighting facism means helping trans people stay alive. No gives a shit about you dunking on Trump every day, help us SURVIVE. 🗣🗣🗣 #HelpSky #MutualAid

People pushing all of the sins of the carceral state on “private prisons” in order to shift the conversation around policing and prisons into one about greedy corporations has been a very counterproductive narrative.

Another acquaintance died only middle aged from a sudden heart attack last week. This is the third person I know who has had a heart attack in the last two years. All had one thing in common, they had just had COVID again. 🧵

I only wish to heal. TW for my GoFundMe as it’s not pleasant to read. Please help me out so I can leave here, heal, and reach my goals of being a full time (not starving) artist who’s HEALED.

The things that could have been accomplished when care networks that sprung up in 2020 had been maintained. The empathy that could have been born. The care that could have built the world anew.

For H, who doesn't have his own campaign, and who is desperate to protect the privacy of his toddlers, this giving circle is his only way to keep his family sheltered. And you've done that for a year. Keep hope—and Palestinian dignity—alive: chuffed.org/project/hope...

The indicators to wear a mask just continue to pile up. Comfort will soon cease to be comfort and become the vehicle through which people's lives change forever.

I REBUKE IT

I miss the time before I got COVID 3x over. My risk tolerance changed so much after the 2nd one. Entering spaces that were explicitly unsafe was a lot more possible. I was able to go to things, make myself visible, and talk about protecting those more vulnerable. Then I became more vulnerable.

… I need this account until I have a job and off site network So I can’t say what I want to say So I’ll say , this is why I dislike the “media literacy” discussions part of the reason people can’t understand is that media is purposely trying to weasel word them

This is exactly why sex workers rights activists have been screaming that the best way to prevent people from being exploited in the first place is to offer them safety and security and access to basic needs. The fewer the resources one has, the more vulnerable one becomes

I'm sorry what the fuck? Like I shouldn't be shocked because this isn't that far off from how a whole lot of you treat us but what the fuck

When the government decided to let COVID-19 loose, they decided at that exact same time to do two things. Make life difficult and lonely for elderly and disabled people. Kill elderly and disabled people by playing dress up and pretend it’s 2019, because we want to be “kind”.

I'm doing a mutual aid grocery run for a couple of local DV families if you'd like to chip in. We're at $25/$200. I'll be baking some treats for them too. Please RT for reach. Thanks so much!🙂 C: $Lockdownyourlife V: lockdownyourlife www.ko-fi.com/lockdownyour...

I will be watching a movie now, realize what the character is meant to be feeling and saying, and then get a little mad that it took me this long to realize that people express emotions that way. Then I remember that 💫 I'm autistic 💫 and w/o support there was no way I could've learned this a kid.

Abusive people and systems reward you with large gifts and grandiose gestures after abusive / boundary crossing episodes

💜 Protecting others is kindness.💜 Kindness isn’t abstract. It’s wearing an N95 on the train. It’s staying home when sick. It’s sending a message to the friend who’s still housebound with Long Covid. #WorldKindnessDay #LongCovid #MaskUp 😷

Every day I read Wynter the better my day gets. "She demonstrates how once European intellectuals "proved" Black (and Native) cultural inferiority, economic exploitation of Black labor on the encomeindas and plantations of the New World easily and logically followed."

For qualitative researchers who do manual transcription, do you know if there’s an alternative to the foot pedal? I can’t use my legs and am wondering if there’s a hand or elbow version?

So the lactose is intolerant!

How many times will you roll the dice with your immune system? How long do you think you'll keep getting lucky?

So, you know, maybe get more comfortable with disability as something that isn’t a moral failure and that should be accommodated. The access you save may well be your own.

As Imani Barberin said on another site: “Your broken bodies are profit centers.” “The disabled people you let die to ‘return to normal’—it was for nothing. Because at the end of the day, [Democrats] are prepared to treat you the fucking same way.”

The obvious is proven over and over again. Stop messing with a virus that damages the immune system. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/stu...

share.google/zIVxJkWznH33... I keep re-listening to this to burn it into my brain because I think it's so compelling. Particularly the part about the "contract" we think exists between us and our institutions.

Watching Pluribus and this decision-making in this first episode is very interesting (derogatory).

I never thought it'd see a future where I was worried about my stomach's ability to digest food. I've had an iron stomach for my entire life...until I caught COVID. Now I'm afraid to eat apples cause the last time I did they ended up in the toilet rotten.

Someone soothe their white guilt by paying all my bills . Thank you so much

Please spread the word about this exciting #LongCovid trial that they’ve made super easy to participate in from home! The faster they get enough participants, the faster they can release results

Fundraiser to make sure sex workers are getting fed while SNAP benefits are uncertain:

Look the thing is, you can personally dislike someone -- or even have serious political *strategy* disagreements with them -- while also being clear that they don't deserve to be mistreated On a level, our enemies are relying on us to forget this

This is the thing that I think troubles me the most about the refusal to mask and clean the air. The downsides are minimal. The payoff is massive. The only thing standing in the way is comfort and convenience.

We never had to capitulate to Covid. If we had taken collective steps to protect one another, we would have been able to drastically reduce transmission. I will never understand why so many people were willing to subject themselves to repeat infections when there was (and is) another path

“Well everyone else was doing it too” is never a worthy excuse. Just because practically no one masks or keeps up with the alarming science on COVID doesn’t exempt everyone from responsibility. #MaskUp and protect yourself and others. In the future, you’ll be glad you did.

“we’re all gonna get it” is every bit as defeatist and doomerist as “we can’t do anything about climate change”. why do so many who are so fervent about protecting the environment refuse to acknowledge this? is our collective health not equally important?

Eleven states and the District of Columbia have seen double digit increases in the cost of residential electricity over the last year. In New Jersey, electricity costs are up over 20%. In DC, that number is over 30%.

There are LoCITT-T participants across 46 states & DC! We currently do not have participants from: North Dakota South Dakota Mississippi Puerto Rico Can you spread the word to anyone with LC there (or in any other, more generally underrepresented community): longcovid.scripps.edu/locitt-t/?ut...

I think this is true given how mentions of masking have also been censored by moderation (despite me turning off said moderation).

Day after a migraine is weird as shit.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.
