As a chronically ill person, I still mask. For my own safety. Covid isn’t gone, and is still actively disabling people. I am disabled because of covid.
Not only is masking super awesome and even fashionable, it protects you and your loved ones. So please, wear a mask <3

the 4-panel meme of Anakin and Padme in the Star Wars prequels. Anakin says, “intersectional community care is key to making change.” Padme, smiling, says, “so you’re still covid conscious and wear a mask, right?” Anakin stares silently at her. She repeats, with a concerned expression, “so you’re still covid conscious and wear a mask, right?”

The Sick Times does extremely important work reporting on studies and news relevant to the #ME/CFS #pwME and #LongCovid communities. I have become a monthly supporter, and encourage you to do the same if you can.
thesicktimes.org The Sick Times @thesicktimes.org · 7d
We’re over halfway through our end-of-year fundraiser, and we’re not where we need to be to keep our vital work going. We have three weeks left to hit our goals of $60,000 and 200 monthly supporters.

The #LongCOVID community needs us — we need you! the-sick-times.fundjournalism.org/donate/
Purple background with white text reads: New donations (followed by a thermometer reaching $60K). New monthly supporters (followed by a thermometer reaching 200). Text reads, "The Long COVID community needs us. We need you." Four testimonials from Sick Times readers in speech bubbles: “I desperately need the information you publish and can find it nowhere else.” “The Sick Times does essential work for the Long COVID community.” “You're indispensable and genuine. I trust your dedication to our community.” “I appreciate everything all of you do to keep publishing the truth in a world that cares little for it.”

For more than a year, Miranda DeNovo (@crookedneighbor.bsky.social) has been helping take care of community members with very severe Long COVID and ME. She writes that doctors who will engage with administrative work can be a lifeline against neglect. bit.ly/4a9ZI4u
A graphic shows an ouroboro, or a snake eating their own tail. In the middle of the ring of the snake is the phrase “just following up”. The background is grapefruit pink with email “envelopes” scattered behind the snake. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Doctors who refuse to engage with administrative work are abandoning their poorest and sickest patients. By Miranda DeNovo.” The healthcare system expects patients to have family members or partners who will build relationships with their doctors, and who can take on this massive administrative burden as a full-time job.

Leslie Lee III, an educator, critic, and Long COVID advocate, died on November 10.

“He was one of the few voices in leftist spaces that refused to buy into COVID denialism," Taylor Lorenz told @mileswgriffis.bsky.social. "He was such a strong voice..."

Leslie Lee III, culture critic and Long COVID advocate, dies at 43. By Miles W. Griffis." A screenshot of a message on X: L., MA @leslieleeiii Nov 14 Please read. -YB. All proceeds from the GoFundMe will go to cover funeral costs and as temporary replacement of loss of income. This is YB, @stuffhedoes Leslie's spouse. I am sad to share with you the tragic news of his passing on Monday, November 10th, aged 43. Leslie Lee Ill was a beloved husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and friend. He left us much too soon. I appreciate your kindness at this time, while we process our grief. If you wish, you can donate directly to his gofundme linked in his profile, any later news I will post from this account. A private service for family is being held this week with a memorial service to be held at a later date in NYC. He was to me, my everything. He was an advocate for others with Long COVID. He was an amazing writer and passionate podcaster.

Yeah... I have 3 globally recognized IT certs, and I can't get a callback on a job I applied for. And the few times I do, it never goes beyond the "quick chat" with the recruiter. I've been looking for work since 2021, before I even lost my last job to long COVID paired with role elimination.

It’s World AIDS Day today. We’re thinking about the practices our communities have developed to keep each other alive—and the shifts we need to see in public health, from small groups to large institutions.
Aqua background with illustration of five purple-toned hands holding up white protest signs. The signs say: “Today we mark World AIDS Day.” “Our struggles are connected.” COVID isn’t over.” “Disability justice now.” “Silence equals death.” Along the bottom edge are logos for Long COVID Justice and Strategies for High Impact.

#ConnectTheDots #LongCovid #MaskUp
Let’s make some noise this Friday.
There’s a poster with a red border and a megaphone graphic with the words connect the dots to Covid in white text inside of a red square box. Below the red box is the text written in black that says, This Friday, we want you to post, repost, share, tag, at least 15 stories, research publications, videos, and anything else that is attributed to Covid, Long Covid, and other Post Covid Conditions. When you set out to complete your post challenge use the hashtag #ConnectTheDots so that we get it trending and get some attention for the information. Along with using the hashtag #ConnectTheDots tag as many media, government, and health officials as you can, and let's get the word out.

Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see!

But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines
Red square image with virus icon and caption "how your risk increases with COVID" Body text: "COVID-19 can have serious consequences for your heart." Grey square image with red heading "increased risk of heart attack & stroke" "After COVID-19, your risk of heart attack or stroke can double - even if your symptoms were mild. This risk can last for months or even years after infection. COVID-19 can also cause inflammation and damage to blood vessels, making them "older" and stiffer, increasing your lifetime risk of heart disease." Grey image with line graph representing decline Red header text: Long COVID = Long-Term Heart Risk Blue body text "1 in 5 people with Long COVID report chest pain, palpitations or high blood pressure. These symptoms can signal lasting heart issues." Red background with ecg looking line chart at top. white header: "Vaccines Help Protect Your Heart" White body text: "Vaccination reduces your risk of severe COVID-19 and its heart complications. If you have heart disease, staying up to date with your COVID-19 and flu shots is essential."

E-mail to my MP about a lot of stuff - text in alt text of image.
1: Trump's peace proposal is garbage. Russia make no concessions except to stop attacking. It cannot stand. Trump's America is NOT a reliable ally and should be kicked out if NATO. https://johnhuwevans.wordpress.com/2025/10/27/fascism-in-the-u-s-a-2025/ 2: Brexit. Simply, join the SM and CU. I see no reason why Labour should be bound by the crap Tories negotiated. There's your biggest boost to the economy and I cannot understand why this govt is so craven and clueless on this. 3: Adopting the rhetoric of Fascists is NOT acceptable. I have always described myself as a never Tory floating voter. I can no longer see voting Labour as an option. https://johnhuwevans.wordpress.com/2025/10/22/a-pattern-of-propaganda/ 4: Another thing I can't understand is why this govt is so gutless on press reform and resetting the BBC by removing the Tory appointed far-right bosses. https://johnhuwevans.wordpress.com/2025/10/22/a-pattern-of-propaganda/ 5: Starmer has apparently said today that time talking about anything but the cost of living is a waste of time. You've been in power for well over a year and it's the first time he's mentioned it. I'm on a fixed low income and can't work because of Covid which brings me on to: 6: Covid. There has been no change from Tory policy except to remove vaccines from some categories, one of which I find myself in. There is no action on Long Covid or seemingly future pandemic planning. If there has been then see my point about press reform. 7: Climate change and plastic apocalypse. The companies killing the planet for profit do NOT elect governments. They need to be controlled or we have in effect a plutocracy verging on fascism. I'll leave it at that - should give you enough to read for the weekend. I do not want a reply. I'm angry enough without bullshit political language Press release excuses incensing me further.

On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5

Another disabled activist has been taken by Long Covid, and ableds are still having discourse about whether or not mask wearing is still valid.

You know, I'm extremely angry about what happened to Leslie. This was the last tweet he wrote before he died. This is such a fucked up, selfish society that we've normalized mass infection, stigmatized public health, and put disabled people through hell. Things didn't have to be this way.
@leslieleeiii: Please start taking COVID seriously before more people have to suffer and die.

We often hear 'the #pandemic' in the past tense, but #covid infections are causing massive harm to health and economies. Reduce risk through #ventilation, #filtration and wearing an ffp2 or #ffp3 respirator mask. These actions reduce the likelihood of all airborne infections.

At this point it's likely 100%. Why be sick over the holdiays? WHy be sick while traveling? Why be spreading illness to others, including loved ones?
Don't be sick and spread sickness to your fami;luy over the holidays. 81-96% of flights have Covid on board. Mask up.
