Introduction post!
I'm Prower, probably wherever you have a local one. I am disabled since 2014 with ME/CFS, and in between dealing with that I fill my time with crafts, raising my kid, petting my dogs, and video games when my cognition allows.

Remember that it’s never too late to start taking Covid precautions.
Every infection delayed or prevented is a win for your long term health.
Get vaccinated. Clean and ventilate the air. Stay home when you’re sick.
Wear a well fitted respirator like an N95.
Masks save lives!

A very Happy New Year to you all. If you're still mitigating against infection from SARS-CoV-2 you have nothing but my respect and admiration. Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful 2026.

—being told disabled people are “wrong”, fear us. Yes, even you, resist libs, even you, leftist bastions of liberation. Because you won’t stop to consider that what you were told is wrong.
Because it’s icky.
Because it reminds you of bad times.

Doesn't mask in public during an ongoing airborne pandemic. Believes long Covid is psychosomatic - those would be two of my 🚩🚩
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

The Current and Future Burden of Long COVID in the United States - PubMed
The current health and economic burden of long COVID may already exceed that of a number of other chronic diseases and will continue to grow each year as COVID-19 cases increase. This could be a significant drain on businesses, third-party payers, the healthcare system, and society.

The thing that’s particularly galling about this is that most disabled people I know have given up getting anyone outside of us to mask. We mask ourselves and try to get on with our lives, and y’all still can’t keep our fucking names out of your mouths. Just running through there rent fucking free
Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

Not only is he confusing measles and chickenpox… he’s also pushing a eugenics agenda.
He’s claiming if you die from measles it’s because you’re “already sick”.
First, that’s not true. Many healthy children died from measles.
Second, sick people deserve protection too.

It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
