“The worst part of getting Long COVID was the cruelty of the disease, a punitive unraveling of my health and identity. The next-worst part, and just as heartbreaking, was discovering how few of my friends and loved ones could engage with my illness in ways that felt caring.”
A wonderful, resonant essay from @thesicktimes.org about how we can better listen to anyone going through something catastrophic. "Avoiding the topic feels absurd — like I’m standing in quicksand, and we’re chitchatting over glasses of lemonade as I slowly sink." thesicktimes.org/2025/11/28/y...
You know someone with Long COVID. They need you to ask about it genuinely. - The Sick Times
If community-building is a bulwark against autocracy, then asking after one another might be a good place to start.

Very solid Dynamite—feel like there’s possibility and unknown in a lot of directions that makes both tournaments interesting to watch.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Muhammad. Muhammad was an accountant prior to this but his workplace was destroyed and his home severely damaged. He’s hoping to leave Gaza with his family including his daughters Iman, 5 and Lian, 6 so that they can get a better education.

Stat/Mercedes was great. The crowd sucked. I guess there weren't enough "moments" or prompts to chant.

Can we please start treating this as common knowledge & work to prevent the devastating longterm effects of infection by…I dunno, masking in healthcare, cleaning the air in schools, & warning ppl what they’re risking by catching & spreading infections?

Did you know that trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are?
On this annual Transgender Day of Resilience (TDOR), we’re sharing our resource on Long COVID in trans people.

Remembering as Alice Wong and Leslie Lee III’s names are being said a lot:
People now eulogizing and donating to their GFMs were very recently saying—with patronizing, casual contempt—that their call for people to mask to protect and include disabled and vulnerable people was “unreasonable.”

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

Because we're in 2025 and the weight of public momentum has allowed us all to ignore the well being of others because we can simply blame how inconvenient it would be to care, I've routinely seen masking or COVID mitigation mocked and I know a lot of people don't care if I die.

Fully expecting someone to screenshot my words and mock me for stating this reality but maybe don’t do that while we’re mourning Alice Wong and Leslie Lee. You can always just mock me when you are out at brunch with your friends instead of where we’ll see it. Or you could try listening.

I’m still alive and when you don’t mask you are saying the same thing to me she described: that the terrible thing that happened to me couldn’t possibly happen to you because you’re superior. Or that my ability to exist in public is a burden & I am expendable. There’s no other honest interpretation.
