putting this here. Who’s bringing food to people with long covid who are too weak to cook or are you just condemning them for ordering delivery? Are you masking up to visit friends or making them sicker or just abandoning them? There is a precedence for community care in the face of gov abandonment!
For someone who brought meals to AIDS shut-ins who'd been erased by society, and who lost many friends in the 90's, this is simply astounding.
In a moral & ethical society, it would be free for anyone who wants it. We're the only industrialized nation without single payer/nationalized health care.

Every accusation made by the right wing has been a confession.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

post-viral illness can be avoided by preventing infection by the virus. if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for you. don’t inhale without a filter. mask up.
More background on this: One of the reasons skiers are taking precautions like masking is because some athletes have had post-viral illness or chronic fatigue.

May I suggest an easy one? Consider wearing a good mask at least at the airport, on airplanes, & in healthcare settings. If more people did, COVID transmission rates would drop dramatically. Now, practically no one does. It’s still a plague & we have a responsibility to protect each other from it.
if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

The usury interest rate on #pwME energy usage is the problem. Budgeting (pacing) helps but it’s not a cure, it’s a coping strategy. We need medical treatments that remove whatever is siphoning off our energy, not gaslighting or denial of this energy theft. #GreatestMEdicalScandal
I understand more mild in illness and financially privileged folks can rearrange life (more relaxed work, gardening) and find meaning etc. I was able to do a lot with mild ME. Now I’m trying to pace & crashing for sitting by my grandma in her possibly last days. Now I’m running out of savings.

That sentence is pretty much NEVER true, because SOME disabled people almost certainly do need the thing others have decided isn't necessary because THEY don't need it.

It doesn't bother you that abuse is allowed at every level of society & predators get a stamp of approval for destroying lives as our status quo? It bothers people who have been abused. You're not moved by accounts of abuse? Is there a heart inside there?
It's extremely disrespectful to people who care about the issue of rampant sexual abuse in our society, especially survivors, to say the Epstein files are a distraction from anything. They're one of many disasters that need attention. If you don't care, great that you benefit from rape culture.
