Doctors: we've accepted too many myths about Covid. My presentation explains why - and gives you the science you're missing. youtube.com/watch?v=GPUT... 🧵1/11

"How green is this? We pay billions of pounds to cut down ancient forests in the US and Canada, ship the wood across the Atlantic in diesel tankers, then burn it in a Yorkshire-based power station." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So we’re bombing people for peace. *screams into the abyss*

I should also let you know that if you read papers in other languages, you will find that school closures are still happening due to COVID, flu and many other diseases. Only wild exceptionalism is driving our need to ignore what kids are going through due to illness…

Im proud of myself for telling people off and standing up for my right to rest and heal.

The disability community lost another member. @mollyboom.bsky.social posted on X that she was entering hospice. Her family confirmed she’s since passed. Details about a memorial service will be forthcoming. Hold each other close. Our digital family is so important in these difficult times!

friends i’m so tired

Still holding out hope to meet you, the first hospital or university leader who - while still in their role - says clearly that covid is airborne and it was a mistake to pretend it wasn’t. You are awesome. You will start a chain reaction. Your courage will save millions from death and disability.

Why Don't You "Just" Lodge a Complaint? open.substack.com/pub/disabled... "I told her I wasn’t ok. That I was in terrible pain and had spent all night in the ER but the clinic wouldn’t reschedule me. She looked at me with kind eyes and told me she was sorry and would try and help...."

Self-regulation isn’t staying calm. It’s not pretending everything’s okay. It’s learning to listen to your nervous system - to move with it, not against it. Sometimes that means slowing down. Sometimes it means crying or leaving. Sometimes it means meltdowns. Regulation is responsiveness.

Anyone not masking should scroll through TikTok posts by those with long Covid. Most comments are from others who have long Covid, many telling their story of when they got long Covid. It's not rare. It is a mass disabling event that's still ongoing. And every person is at risk regardless of health

The Medical Establishment wants you to believe that COVID-19 merely goes in one lung, and out the other - a harmless, benevolent friend. Well, that’s not the case. www.wlky.com/article/kent...

I truly give up on posting on covid in five years it hasn’t mattered to MPs about those who died and continue to die preventable covid deaths. There is no justice in the UK.

My religious friend says talk of the four horsemen is ridiculous, for though war and death and pestilence have left their stables, famine has yet to emerge, so I sent him an article titled “US and Europe face 40% drop in food production,” and my religious friend said: oh.

I have seen 2 patients in clinic today whose (severe) Long Covid started with an infection in 2024. Both had experienced previous COVID infections. This really hasn’t gone away 😢

Oh, you like my doctor? Red flag, buddy

NEVER buy anything Adobe. Adobe is the example of what greed does to a company. No matter how outraged people are; no matter that the FTC is suing Adobe and executives for this practice; Adobe keeps doing it. I got scammed by this same practice in 2020 the same way: I switched to Affinity instead.

And remember: AC is at minimum 3 times more efficient than heating the same space (and often requires cooling a space by fewer degrees than heating does, making it even more efficient.) If you wouldn’t hesitate to turn on a space heater in December, the AC in June is fine.

Amen to that.

Many are looking away from preventable covid deaths, this is ongoing. It’s sickening we are at this point and many think this is the time to vote on assisted dying, at a time where life is far from valued. I have never felt so upset. It’s really horrific. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

I’mma be real. I thought the whole point of Juneteenth was for me to rest. Y’all are insisting that I read a book, watch a slavery biopic, scan a syllabus, dance in a drum circle and learn all the verses to the spiritual. REST

HELPFUL THINGS DOCTORS HAVE TOLD ME 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. You're weird.

“Just leave the country” is not an option for most disabled people. Many countries won’t accept high cost health users. Many have income and savings requirements before they will even consider you. Leaving is in many ways, a privilege. Fight for those who have to stay behind.

This is just a reminder ..there are many ways to protest... You can do the type that makes sense to you, thatvtesiects thenreality of #covid and your health and others health.

What a day... I'm exhausted.

Häufiger als Asthma! Long COVID is affecting up to 10% - 20% of children with a history of COVID-19. With almost 6 million US children potentially affected, this is higher than the number of children with asthma, the most common chronic health problem in children. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

In Nassau County it’s a crime to wear a mask (including N95 or surgical mask) The “medical exemption” is up to police discretion. They get to decide who’s “sick enough” to wear a mask ICE agents hiding their identity with gaitors could arrest an immigrant & revoke their status for wearing an N95

In the light of the LAPD standing with the fascists and targeting civilians… It feels a good time to remind folks to never call a wellness check on a disabled friend or loved one. Cops are not trained in how to handle mental health, disability or chronic illness. It almost always ends badly

I’ve read too much science fiction too many dystopian novels and too many poems on civil rights to be quiet…

Whenever I try and raise awareness of the risk disabled people face when detained by ICE, I’m met with a chorus of voices asking “were they illegal?” Here’s the thing, it doesn’t matter if they’re here legally or not No human being should be made to suffer this way 🧵

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Gotta say, when the studies dropped showing Covid causes erectile dysfunction… I thought people would pay attention. When they said you should avoid Covid for months before trying to conceive? Same. Now we see the virus persists in semen… will anyone care?

“The hospital is not to ask me about suicide. Do not ask. Do not ask. How many times do I have to tell the hospital?” Roger Foley is a disabled Canadian who went public with recordings of hospital staff pressuring him to do assisted suicide Now they’re denying him food & water Retaliation is real

The masks ICE agents wear aren’t masks. They’re face coverings designed to hide their identity. The masks disabled people have been pleading to normalize are KN95s, N95s and other respirators. Which will help protect you from COVID & other airborne threats! Normalize masking for public health.

Can I just upload this into the brain of every single person I need to interact with

We need to fight this.. we need to at least try.. so we can say we tried: thehill.com/regulation/c... , screenshots from www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

people will just admit to anything
