My feeling on this article is that if you refer to covid in the past tense you have no business writing about it, and it’s insulting to the people who live with long covid every day or just lost a loved one to it this week. I’m going to tell you til you believe me: this is memory-holing propaganda.

"Their argument would outlast the disease because it was so much more about continuing to have that argument than it was about anything else."

trans women get this too and its shit like tee hee welcome to womanhood whenever a trans woman complains about gendered violence. like hee hee welcome to being a woman!! said with utmost joy and glee at the brutalization of a woman. lovely! keep up the malgendering! its a good thing to do

btw a lot of you are entirely okay with cis women in particular saying this shit about trans men and not confronting it. why? because you think youre sticking it to the patriarchy by being transphobic? this is called malgendering btw

ugh i saw a post on here yesterday that was like 'we dont see a lot of werewolf media because men dont have periods' and idk, pre transition this stuff didnt bother me that much but now its like. why are you saying this. and i dont even menstruate anymore!

hey that’s my photo 🥹😷📸✨ of when “Mask Bloc Los Angeles…handed out more than 300,000 masks…during the catastrophic January 2025 LA fires.” i’m so proud of what this organizing can do; how care has brought us together. thank you for sharing what dan be done, @lexmcmenamin.com 🙏🏻

I spoke to the mutual aid groups and mask blocs combatting the spread of COVID and viral illness by freely distributing masks and tests and lending out air purifiers — who nationally have now distributed thousands of masks for wildfire smoke, too, amid an anti-public health admin @us.theguardian.com

i see what you're getting at!! even after erichthonios had found out that hephaistos was protecting him from athena, when erichthonios sees athena again (as a memory simulacrum brought to the modern age)—he admits he still feels affection for her 😭

ff14 spoils putting aside how troubling it is to criticize mothers for not being good enough mothers in modern contexts, im yet kind of intrigued by how athena instills [filial piety] in erichthonios on purpose and by how different elements of the story villainize her for it

—people told me they “had to live their life” to justify getting rid of COVID precautions. They weren’t. They were dissociating into a fantasy to wait out the bad thing and oh look it’s still here.

Important read. Everyone has the potential to be one Covid infection away from basically the entire life they know. That’s not exaggerating it either between living it and seeing so many others and their struggles

It's ME(Jaime)@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social · 2y ago

Today, Aug 8, is #SevereMEDay. Today we discuss severe-presenting #MECFS and remember people with severe ME. #MECFS is an infection-associated chronic illness, which means it is often, but not always, kicked off by an infection. ~Half of #LongCOVID cases at 6 mo meet the dx criteria for ME/CFS. 🧵

Two diagrams from the Mayo Clinic Proceedings article I co-authored.  On the left, a diagram of a woman's body, including symptoms of fatigue, muscle aches, PEM, cognitive dysfunction, unrefreshing sleep, orthostatic intolerance, temp. dysregulation, urinary frequency, myalgia, sensory sensitivity/reactivity, swollen lymph nodes & other flu-like symptoms, shortness of breath, palpitations/chest pain, appetite changes and diarrhea/constipation.  On the right, a wheel diagram of symptoms that may flare in post-exertional malaise, the pathology that occurs w/overexertion in which many symptoms flare and new symptoms may appear.  It notes that PEM is not deconditioning, not being more tired than usual after activity, not second-day muscle soreness and symptoms are not necessarily relieved by sleep. It includes all the symptoms mentioned in the first diagram but has some sections on what it's like in the patient's own words.

You can’t wait out the heat waves. You can’t wait out fascists. You can’t wait out disease. You have to fucking adapt. Disabled people know this. Lots of marginalized communities know this.

Now it’s AI, waiting for the bubble to burst, waiting for the orange shitgibbon to die, waiting, waiting, waiting, while emergencies accumulate around us. Nope, none of this is normal. You don’t just put your head down and get through. You have to live. Which is ironic, given how often—

Something I have noticed, having been relegated to the sidelines of public life, is that people are still trying to “just get through” whatever emergency we’re talking about. They thought we’d wait out COVID, which is why they’re convinced it’s over. We just had to elect Biden aaand that didn’t work
