If you're chronically ill and unable to join the mass protests for #HandsOff, there are other ways you can get involved. Support & elevate marginalized voices Give to mutual aid Support libraries & independent book stores Wear a mask (if you aren't already) Call & email elected officials

I’ve been on a GLP-1 to combat a whole host of qualifying diagnoses I got or developed over time as a result of my initial COVID infection in April 2020, and I’m providing updates on my Substack. #longcovid open.substack.com/pub/f4lh/p/o...

Given that there’s a pause on FDA comms right now, it may be useful for Americans to sign up for Canadian recalls, since many products are sold in both countries. Eg fellow celiacs, this may clue you into products to watch out for on the US side too: recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/subscribe

The antidote for despair is action ❤️ * Dial (202) 224-3121 * Enter zip code * Leave voicemail * Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so) “The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.” Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅

Unknown artist, Source: C.I.Memes This is such a relatable comic regarding what people say to chronically ill people #chronicillness #chronicallyill #chronicillnessmemes

4 panel comic
1st panel: a bird, on a branch, saying 'i have this disease and'

2nd panel: another bird, a raven from off screen, says "Oh My god that is terrible"

3rd panel: the raven continues (him in forefront and birdie in background) "How can you live with that? That must be so hard on you"

4th panel: The birdie looks pissed. Raven, off screen, continues "I don't know how you do it. I feel so sorry for you!"

March this year: “Covid-19 is still very new, and we don’t know that much about it. Maybe in 10 years? Of course, you probably won’t be here in 10 years.” I’m 47. Sick from Covid since 4/1/20.
