"I was discharged from the rehab facility with a SARS-CoV-2 infection I’d caught there...not long after, I lost my job of four years working in homeless services..[and] became trapped in my inaccessible home, no longer able to walk or climb stairs." thesicktimes.org/2026/06/26/i...

Hot take: surveillance capitalism is bad AND a good chunk of the anti-fitness tracker discourse is fueled by the same kind of chronic illness denial that keeps pushing "brain retraining." Like no, actually, POTS is not a social contagion and heart rate tracking does not cause symptoms.

Six years since the start of COVID and this type of misinformation by omission is still rampant. The best protection against airborne pathogens is wearing a high quality mask.

as people are talking about climate change and the dangers of extreme heat, it's worth pointing out that no prison in Florida has A/C and some (many?) don't even really have working fans.

I'm not gonna boost the Post but if you're (correctly) calling out someone on their racism and most of the replies to your post are super ableist, maybe there's an additional problem worth addressing

Breaking news... it's possible to be pro-masking without being a dick to Palestinians. These stickers won't win you any Internet Clout Points but they will help a family in Gaza: Linktree.com/thanksformasking

Our friend Bahaa is hoping to get a temporary job in Gaza, but he needs his university graduation certificate to get hired. Unfortunately (like everything) it's expensive - we've made good progress on fundraising but are about $500 short. Any help is appreciated! chuffed.org/project/baha...

What a shock! Who could have predicted! Meanwhile these anti mask sentiments will continue to be turned around on disabled people and anyone who wants to protect themselves and others.

Celebrating the Knicks win by mailing out stickers. Thanks to everyone for your support! (And, of course, for masking)

UPDATE: we are now able to mail our Thank You for Masking stickers anywhere in the world! Get yours here: linktree.com/thanksformasking

Can't say I love it when "covid conscious" people use brain damage as a "why are things bad now" argument. That's eugenics!! Disabled people did not cause whatever issue you're mad about. Capitalism and white supremacy predate 2019 and covid just provided a new opportunity for bad shit. Do better!!

More stickers going out in the mail today! #maskup

Tired Wired: have u tried sleep deprivation Inspired: linktree.com/thanksformasking

As a former full-time freelancer, one aspect that is aggravating about the Long Covid/Wired feature is how hard it is to get longform features accepted at publications. Like, this likely passed an editor's meeting, not just one person accepting a pitch.

Excited to learn that long covid gives me a "silence fringe medical grifters" superpower. Can anyone help me figure out how to use this? Seems useful

Large study (av age 45) shows people with #LongCovid are 4.48x more likely to have a Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (stroke, pulmonary embolism, heart failure) & 53% more likely to die. True regardless of age, BMI, vaccination, variant. Risks last 3+ years from infection. 1/

I muted the Podcaster account, please clap

Podcasters talk about actual issues facing people with long covid (hint: poverty!) one time challenge

In addition to #worldmaskweek, another great reason to mask is that I've spent all morning feeling like I was chasing parked cars. That's the Long Covid Promise (tm) and yes, it can happen to you.

It's #worldmaskweek, which is a great time to get back into masking if you've stopped over the last few years. Commit to masking at the "big 3" this week: stores, transit, and medical appointments.

Always funny to see men come on here and shout the mainstream opinion in their best contrarian voice. Instead of the Bluesky bubble or GLP-1s, why not pick something actually controversial: these pro-masking stickers support a family in Gaza linktree.com/thanksformasking

The problem, of course, with post exposure prophylaxis for SARS-CoV-2 is that y'all motherfuckers surrendered and the virus is basically everywhere. I have no way, as an immunocompromised person, of knowing when I've been exposed.

Every time I read about the RECOVER trials it makes my blood boil. What do you mean they wasted all this time and money on shit we tried and ruled out in 2020?

In the late 1800s, the morgue was one of the most popular attractions in Paris. People of all classes would line up to see dead bodies of crime victims that they'd read about in the newspaper. It got so popular that as the bodies decomposed, limbs were replaced with wax replicas.

“If hantavirus kicks off I refuse to be a healthcare hero again” bestie you and your colleagues ditched masks as soon as you could and then shrug when you infect and kill immunocompromised patients, you never were a “healthcare hero” at all

Again, many of the people upset at these words live their lives as if this is true, based on the number of people - incl in "leftist" spaces - who actively resist masking etc

Happy birthday to Anwar! When you donate, you help his family survive increasingly tough conditions in Gaza. Plus you get cool stickers! linktr.ee/thanksformas...

All I have to say about hantavirus is... we have pandemic at home

if people advocating against genocide makes you uncomfortable perhaps it's time to interrogate that feeling instead of making it everyone else's problem.

And this is one good reason that respiratory precautions should still be standard in healthcare settings. Because what happens when the doctor gets the thing?

Masking? In spring? Groundbreaking. linktr.ee/thanksformasking

I'm not amplifying the Bad Post, but fyi, don't blame "lack of empathy" in society on people with long covid. That's the eugenics I think you're trying to complain about.

Happy May Day to everyone who's masking linktree.com/thanksformas...

It’s my birthday and I am once again doing my matching campaign of $340! Somebody already matched $340 for Crips for eSims but you can still donate $3.4, $34, $340, or more! :) Email screenshots to cripsforesimsforgaza[at]gmail[dot]com. chuffed.org/project/crip...

Going to a May Day protest? Protect yourself and others by wearing a high quality (KN95/KF94 or better) mask.
