I'm so sorry. The social office has still not gotten back to me, meaning I'm still on the same disability check. I need this medicine so my symptoms are less worse and taxing on me as well as maintain my health. This will be a dent on my already small budget being disabled. #mutualaid #bskyaid

Oh I see Zickgraf wrote the “Covid conscious people are crazy” article he’s been threatening. Happy Thanksgiving Ryan, this year thanks to long Covid-caused MCAS, my Thanksgiving feast will be a plain baked sweet potato. Hope yours is tinged with the seasoning of being a horrible person.
I don’t know, I thought after Long Covid effectively ended my chance at a directing career, ruined my health, my energy, my ability to eat a lot of foods, and my body, it would seem pretty obvious why I don’t want to get it again, even going so far as to sacrifice (the horror!) bars and restaurants.

I remain opposed to a third runway at Heathrow because of the severe impact it would have on noise, pollution and climate targets.

Love this graphic from @nousaerons.bsky.social. This is why I mask in public. Breathing dirty air is no different from drinking dirty toilet water.
There's no shortages of airborne transmissible diseases. Even the ones we have vaccines for can cause breakthrough infxns (e.g. TB, Covid, Measles)

Social media is full of misinformation. Our government has a less that pro vaccine stance on COVID. They clearly think it’s better for our economy to go for maximum sickness levels. It makes zero sense. France will come out better than us as everyone is offered free vaccines.

I had a long conversation with someone earlier about COVID. They said so much sickness around, so many they know getting sick. I simply said the WHO told us several years ago that ago ‘hundreds of millions will suffer post covid condition’ we were told. It’s not a surprise, sadly no health messaging

It’s so hard trying to persuade those you care about that COVID is by far the greater risk. Conversation earlier went like this.
‘I’m not getting a Covid vaccine anymore it causes blood clots’.
Me: The far greater risk is from Covid itself and it’s always been vascular.
‘No it hasn’t’
