I keep seeing studies
which find how Covid
damages the brain
and the lungs
and the heart,
and a new study finds
it raises the risk
of kidney disease too,
all of which is why
you will find me
still wearing a mask.

When you hear people ask
(and you will hear people ask)
if these machines
are conscious,
please try to remember:
that the question is not
if these machines
are conscious,
but why it is that we
treat people
we know are conscious
like they are machines.

My friend
the climatologist
tells me
what worries him
is the climate.

My friend
the epidemiologist
tells me
what worries them
are infections.

My friend
the historian
tells me
what worries her
are the people
who aren’t worried.

An important clarification:
when you hear people say
“during Covid”
they do not mean
back when they
were at risk of catching Covid,
for (alas) that time remains,
no, when you hear people say
“during Covid”
they mean
back when they
were trying not to catch Covid.

Jesus Would Mask - A Poem Comedian & writer w/Long COVID. I speak English, Spanish, & Sarcasm. Life is a shitshow; grab a front-row seat & let's laugh our way through it!

Something to share with your friends who are observing Lent.

Would Jesus wear a mask in this day and age?

Here’s the answer.

My Long Covid came from an infection acquired in a doctor’s office.

Healthcare settings are deadly now.

How is everyone so fucking ok with this???

‘At first, she couldn’t come off the oxygen long enough’: the film that gives Marianne Faithfull one final thrilling performance In new docu-drama Broken English, the much misunderstood singer looks back at all her past selves – and gives a performance that moves her audience to tears. Its makers relive an extraordinary shoot

Faithfull grows sombre when shown a clip of herself at 60 declaring that she loved being that age, feeling healthy and philosophical about things. “Now I’m less philosophical. I hate what’s happened to me. Covid did this.”’

After I noted
how a century ago
there was a pandemic
followed by fascism
and a world war,
the historian called me
and explained
that a century ago
there was a pandemic
followed by fascism
and a world war
and also by
nuclear explosions,
so let us hope
history stops repeating.

Quoting something
he saw online
my work friend noted:
that being anti-AI
is like being
one of the only
people actually trying
not to get bitten
in a zombie movie,
and as I adjusted
the straps on my mask
and looked at his
unmasked face, I said:
I know how that feels.

@theresisters.bsky.social @coopspeak.bsky.social

1/ If I hear one more public official call indoor air filters a "band-aid," I'm going to explode! Filtering indoor air should be as standard as filtering water. Full stop. 🧵

Listen:
you must not say
that this is just like
a century ago
when they had a pandemic
followed by fascism
and a world war,
no, you must not say that,
for we
(unlike those a century ago)
cannot say that we
were not warned.

As we spoke
he assured me
that he was feeling fine,
yes, as we spoke
he assured me
that he was feeling better,
and as he said this
between coughs
and in a hoarse voice
I began to seriously wonder
if he was trying to reassure me
or trying to convince himself.

Listen: you must stop
being so superstitious,
there is a perfectly reasonable
scientific explanation
for this morning’s blood moon,
not that such reasonable
scientific explanations
should make you feel any better
about the current state
of our bloody world.

Whatever you say
at this point
do not let it be
“things can’t get any worse,”
for by this point
you should know
things can always get worse.

There is already so much suffering in our world, and all our leaders ever seem to be able to do is add to it.

Captured by vaccine disinfo:
✅ Canada
✅ United States
✅ United Kingdom

WTF are we doing? 30% of cases of measles include pneumonia, encephalitis (brain swelling), deafness, blindness, and death, particularly in young children. Total abdication of responsibility to protect kids and other vulnerable.

When I asked for her insights
on this perilous moment
the historian told me
that she used to believe
we would never again
see nuclear weapons
used in a war,
yes, when I asked for her insights
on this perilous moment
the historian told me
that she used to believe that.

“I realized then that people understand a ‘personal responsibility’ approach to Covid is bullshit.

Because when you suggest they take personal responsibility for causing harm to others, they can’t handle it.”

When they tell you
(and they will tell you)
that it is ridiculous
to care about viruses
in the midst of a war
calmly but firmly
try to remind them
that pestilence and war
ride together.

“Everyone has to take personal responsibility,” said my boss. (1/3)
