Today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay Long Covid changed my life beyond recognition. I got ill. I never recovered. Lost my job. Became housebound. I rely on others to do things for me. I lie on my bed most of the day. Watch the Guardian's short film about my life with #LongCovid 👇

It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay & co-incidentally my 4th anniversary of #LivingWithLongCovid. Good news: every month I get that little bit better. I am the Queen of pacing! Bad news: there is no cure, no treatment, just patience. Sending love & spoons to all my fellow #ME/CFS #LC friends today.

I described in my book how having #LongCovid felt for me. This is one of the poems. #LongCovidAwarenes #LongCovidAwarenessDay Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions: short poems from Long Covid amzn.eu/d/03C0YR0Z

This moves me so much. I got my first Covid infection in March 2020 too. I cannot begin to describe how fortunate I feel to be finally recovered - nor how dismayed I am that the illness is still invisible: to friends & family, but also, catastrophically, to medics & policymakers. #longcovidawareness

Today the world comes together for International Long Covid Awareness Day

Millions of people are still waiting for answers, treatments and a path to recovery. Progress depends on sustained research. Fund Long Covid research for the answers. Longcovidsos.org/research #longcovidawareness #fundlongcovidresearch #everyheartbeatcounts

The NHS England GP Patient Survey 2025 asked approx. 700,000 people if they have #LongCovid. Yes: 4.2% I don’t know: 9.5% These figures are staggering evidence of the likely prevalence of symptomatic people & the continuing lack of education on Long Covid. #LongCovidAwareness

Recovery from Long COVID takes a team. International #LongCOVIDAwareness Day is a reminder that millions continue to experience lasting impacts beyond clinical care. Access ASTHO resources that support collaboration and community recovery: https://discover.astho.org/4c5LBhm.

Saviez-vous que…? Chez certains patients atteints de #CovidLong, le passage à la position debout entraîne une accélération excessive du cœur (POTS), avec vertiges, fatigue et palpitations. #LongCovidAwareness #LongCovidHeartBeats #LongCovidAwarenessDay #LongCovidAwarenessMonth #ApresJ20

New from @latimes.com: “Yet new COVID infections are producing new #LongCovid patients. People who were healthy and active just a few months ago are still arriving at USC’s clinic with cardiovascular and cognitive problems that have upended their lives.”

“You’re not just becoming disabled, you’re realizing how easily society at large and people in your life will abandon you when you cannot offer them things.” ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #LongCovid #LongCovidAwareness #LongCovidHeartbeats

In other words, we’re know you’re tired of hearing about COVID-19. We’re tired of hearing about it too. But ignoring it does not help it to go away, so please continue to take protect your health.

Long COVID has made me aware that I once took the views from the summits of Schiehallion, Beinn Alligin and Buachaille Etive Mòr for granted. Heck, I took walking up a hill without breathing hard for granted. But I'm glad for Pacerpoles. #LongCovidAwareness

We invite you to reflect on the many losses of Long Covid, including those who have passed and those whose lives have been altered. #LongCovid #ILCAD2026 #LongCovidAwareness

"Keep your side of the road clean." In a world of dolourous news, all you can do is find one small thing - then try to fix it. And so me and the British Society of Magazine Editors are launching this - to find the next generation of writers AND PAY THEM. Screw you, AI. We still believe in writing.

Incredible to see so many talented writers celebrated at last night's #BAFTAs - a huge night especially for Maggie O'Farrell & Dean Atta! Congratulations to them & all the excellent writers who won or were nominated 🎉 We couldn't have the films we love without writers 💖

Faversham is waking up, the birds are singing - and it's the literary festival! Have we got some #books for you today 😎 Come on down, make it a day? #Kent

I really enjoy teaching this one-day online course because it's very interactive and we actually DO some copy-editing & proofreading. Reading up on careers is all very well, but there's nothing like having a go to see if you have a flair for something. getintobookpublishing.co.uk/courses/an-i...

🌟 Thrilled to have two amazing judges this year, Sally Williamson from Transworld and Hayley Steed from Janklow & Nesbit 🌟 Send them your best work at firstnovel.co.uk

It’s an excellent book.

Long Covid is brutal, as I know well, and tends to be met with a baffled shrug.

Happy Valentine’s 💛. Beautiful paperback gift for a loved one (yourself or another): amzn.eu/d/0eZznr1X

Read the small print before entering. But also: big publishing companies, pass down some of the huge profits to the writers and editors so that they don't have to scrabble around for other ways to make a living...

One thing I'd forgotten about reading a long-ish book is the simple pleasure of looking forward to hopping into bed and spending an hour or two with it and the prospect of repeating that routine for however many nights to come.

Today is about “The Birds” by Tarjei Vesaas, an absolutely beautiful 1950s Norwegian novel which I loved. My life is so much better for having read it. My care of patients has been dramatically improved by having read it. Thank you to Ruth Maxey for joining me today to talk about it

I wrote something personal + listed ways to help Minnesota. Please pass it along. open.substack.com/pub/kathleen...

At 2pm GMT this Wednesday 11 February, the 2026 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction longlist will be revealed. Ahead of then we want to know – if you were a judge, which non-fiction books would make your list? #WomensPrize #WomensPrizeforNonFiction

People kept telling me this is exactly the old Muppet Show and they were absolutely correct. A pure joy to watch. (And I'm VERY picky about my muppet canon.)

This is a brilliant, thorough and truthful bit of writing, as you’d expect from @littlemaddles.bsky.social. Someone is making a penny, as they say, and the arts needs to have a hard look at itself, 25 years into a lunatic experiment in impoverishing creators. open.substack.com/pub/madelein...

Great & depressing thread. Teenagers/graduates are already getting their entry level job applications sifted by AI it seems. Which means they are wasting time learning how to navigate clunky automated recruitment systems - not improving their skills to actually get/do the job…
