I have a lovely calm life that I’ve rebuilt on the ashes of my former goals and achievements. 4 years ago I brought Covid home and disabled both myself and my perfectly healthy 14 year old. I rarely let it bother me but today I’m letting it take me down.

I live in a solid NDP riding. It was a clear 50/50 race, and I knew my vote. But then, at the last minute, the Liberals dropped in a candidate-and now I’m torn. My heart says Liberal, but but NDP guy is well liked and the Liberal is an unknown. Don’t want to split the vote and hand it to the Cons.

There is a genocide in the the Congo, there is a genocide in Palestine. There are American concentration camps now. Bird flu is running rampant with the migrations. And the whole world wants to talk about tax cuts, what is wrong with everyone?

At this point, five years ago,
the virus was already here
we just preferred
to pretend that it wasn’t. At this point, here and now,
the virus is still here
we just prefer
to pretend that it isn’t.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Also for those that aren't familiar with, Dr. Jim Heath (PI of PNW RECOVER hub), he is quite the brilliant scientist researching Long COVID en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_R...

"We initially were not going to do whole genome on the entire RECOVER cohort, but now, after a lot of lobbying by the scientists who are involved in RECOVER, most of the patients will have their genome sequenced." (Most of the total 14,743 patients)

I know it doesn’t feel like it, I know it sux that we don’t have treatment options and I know we are conditioned to think and feel the exact opposite but when it come to energy limiting illness - resting is fighting. #chronicillness #mecfs #longcovid

Feels like a good time for a thread about all things exercise for people living with infection (and exposure)-associated complex chronic illnesses (IACCs) such as #MECFS, #LongCOVID and chronic #Lyme /tick- and vector-borne illness. Let’s start with a trip down memory lane. 1/

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

You are up to date.
