It was standing room only at today's Living with Long Covid exhibit at the @museumofvan.bsky.social!

I was moved to tears by some of the personal stories on display. Such a great event

Long Covid researcher and activist Kayli Jamison speaks at today's Long Covid launch event at the Museum of Vancouver

One of the stories that resonated - "I was able to venture out for an ice cream cone with a friend this day. I don't feel comfortable eating in restaurants or going to bars like most people my age. Spring and summer are nice beaches they give me more options to spend time outdoors with fewer people around - which means I get to see the people I love more often. Even short moments like this help me feel a little more like a "normal" 24 year old again

Ever wondered what Vancouver’s Drag King scene looked like? Did you know there is a long history of drag kings before you?

Long Live Kings, a web series that was created and stars some of the local artists themselves. Watch three on the big screen at the MOV where history becomes queer.
