looking at a poetry anthology from 1947 at the British Library, obscure enough that I had to ask them to cut some of the pages (!)
here’s a poem by Oswell Blakeston and Max Chapman, artists and writers who were pretty much a lifelong couple

We believe many neuro problems associated with #COVID come from the virus hijacking blood vessels to gain access to the brain. This is what it looks like for me, using super-resolution microscopy.

The idea that we can try to do better by one another is reinforced each time you wear a mask.
There's a bond shared between those who take precautions and this speaks to why: there is joy in solidarity, compassion and kindness. Showing that you care enough to try is a radical act of love and trust.

Never forget that masking is more than just protecting yourself from covid.
It’s an act of compassion, resistance, solidarity and community care.
It shows that you don’t believe people are expendable. That you refuse to be responsible for someone else’s suffering.
The kindness is in the trying.
