So many βDisability Advocatesβ so little masking.
Obviously there are folks for whom masking is not feasible but I doubt they are in the majority.
There is wholesale denial of the ongoing pandemic at every intersection and itβs damaging to everyone.
βThe search for long COVID treatments continues, as international researchers have found that a two-week course of metformin or ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) did not meaningfully improve recovery.β

Not enough people are talking about this sudden increase in disability.
If you need a reason to do whatever you can to avoid COVID, hereβs about a half million of themβ¦take your pick.

βMore than half of people in a cross-sectional study reporting on long COVID said their ability to work was poor, yet most were still working, suggesting a substantial burden of βpresenteeism,β or reduced productivity while on the jobβ

Covid is oncogenic, increases your chance of heart disease & stroke, seriously weakens your immune system, can bring on POTS, MCAS, ME, diabetes & myriad other disabling chronic illnesses but folks trying to protect themselves are βoverreactingβ
Cool, cool, cool.
BBC: βLong Covid patients are forgotten, ex-GP saysβ
βA doctor whose career was ended by long Covid said living victims of the virus were being forgotten by politicians and the NHSβ

The coolest looking (k/n95) mask is the one youβre wearing.
Thank you again. xo

Thanks to all who share & support. xo
βBlack Americans have experienced high rates of coronavirus infection, hospitalization, and deathββThose factors are now leading experts to sound the alarm about what may come next: a prevalence of long Covid in the Black community and a lack of access to treatment.β

Covid can set off a cascade of side effects, many disabling, some deadly.
This is a tragedy.

Sincere condolences. xo
The BBC made some editorial choices and none of them deserve your defense or support.
Since weβre all about disability accommodations today why not wear your care on your face in the form of a K/N95 respirator!
Many disabled and chronically ill people are demonized for not working full-time jobs, when the truth is they can be forced out due to inaccessible policies. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

I'm planning to sell my walking sticks in other patterns! Which patterns would you like them to be in next? I'll be doing 1-3 new patterns depending on people's responses.
You can check out my store to see existing patterns. I can also design new ones.

People can say itβs utopian or dreamy but itβs a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because itβs not at all.
One of the reasons I donβt share βyouβre more likely to develop Long Covid if youβre X,Y and/or Zβ posts is because it gives folks who arenβt X,Y and/or Z a false sense of security and makes them less likely to take preventative measures.
Everyone. Is. At. Risk.

None them are talking about a simple hack that decreases your chances of both short & long term illness by 95%
Wear an N95 mask!
A recent Congressional letter accuses DHS of not being compliant with a major civil rights law due to the mistreatment of disabled ICE detainees. As I reported for @motherjones.com, this is worsened by the fact DHS' office for civil rights has TWO EMPLOYEES now.
