I 💜 #VioletAffleck. She wears an N95 everywhere in public, she is right, & she is a force to contend with. Wicked smart, 19 years old, & she is already a great leader!

A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles

https://yaleglobalhealthreview.com/2025/05/18/a-chronically-ill-earth-covid-organizing-as-a-model-climate-response-in-los-angeles/

How do we #protest?

We #WearAnN95 indoors in public places. We don't dine indoors, go to concerts, or sports games. We take a "vacation" every 5 years, otherwise we #StayHome. I depressed my wages/left the #workforce because I didn't want to work for the rich, wealthy, or #oligarchs. We went from 2 incomes to 1. We #homestead as much as we can. We have a #SolarArray & drive a #hybrid. We eat #EthicalMeat. We have a #garden 3 seasons out of the year.

We consume less than in the #BeforeTimes.

Anytime I feel insecure about asserting my #covid19 precautions and boundaries, I remind myself that the person I'm asserting them with would, in all likelihood, abandon me if I got #covid and then it turned into #LongCovid.

I got a sense of how quickly people will lose interest in me when I could no longer be fun when I became seriously ill a little over a decade ago. In my case, I eventually got better after surgery and physical therapy, but I spent nearly three years in pain and exhaustion to get to that point. In those three years, very few people stuck around to help me.

It's also why I'm still so concerned about trying not to spread covid. I would never wish the debilitating pain and loneliness I experienced on anyone, and I don't want someone to end up with long covid because I carelessly infected them.

Well, after a month of being on Feeld, I have been rejected by someone, who calls himself a "leftist" in his profile, for masking in public to protect myself and people I care about from #covid19.

It isn't that disheartening since I see it as the trash taking itself out, and also, I've been on several dates already with people who don't mask themselves but haven't expressed an issue with my doing so. What does frustrate me is the general lack of care for #DisabilityJustice and the ignorance of so many #leftists of #covid as an intersectional issue. Your so-called "revolution" means nothing if it does not protect people with disabilities.

The current #covid19 wave is so bad that my employer's CEO mentioned it during our all-staff meeting. He brought it up because he's now gotten it for a 3rd time.

It's not bad enough that he mentioned wearing a mask or taking time off to recover while being ill, and he's still pushing everyone to attend the organization's upcoming, in-person only retreat. But it is bad enough that he mentioned it.

I don't know what that means, but the fact that normies are noticing #covid again feels like...something...?

Today rhe FDA granted emergency use authorization for a new monoclonal antibody that immunocompromised individuals can take to help prevent #covid19. From MedPage: https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/109336

A part of me wonders how soon #covid will evolve to evade this drug, just like it did with Evusheld, but at the same time, if this new drug can prevent even some people from getting further disabled by #LongCovid or prevent them from dying, then it's worth it.

It's also still worth it to #WearAnN95 because unfortunately #CovidIsNotOver.
