Community stability is my stability
My stability is community stability

Systems are comprised of individuals
When we as individuals see systems failing our communities and abandoning the vulnerable to death its our obligation to self organize around new systems #AltUBI

I've spent all day updating the watermark I use on all my graphics to include a butterfly now that @longcovidaidbot.bsky.social is also on Blue Sky.

This way my awareness designs can also help direct more support to the Mutual Aid needs Aid🤖 shares.

Follow your dreams and grow as many things as you can. It takes a while to get a plant collection big enough and mature enough to produce a very stream of props to sell so growing that collection sooner then later is best

People with #LongCovid have been killing themselves to warn you that the people telling you that COVID is NBD so you should make sure you and your kids get it 4 times a year are lying.
Almost daily at this point, there's new evidence that Long Covid is the real illness.
