Don’t love the image of Mamdani planting olive trees in “protest” of bibi just hours before his police arrested peaceful protesters. something has got to give soon. he can’t keep pretending the nypd isn’t an issue.

And still many feel the need to make those who are vulnerable, having a vulnerable familymember,or do not want to catch Covid themselves due to this reason ..very uncomfortable when wearing a mask. Everywhere they go. The courage and determination it takes to keep on wearing the mask!👍👏❤️

it is no exaggeration to say that the only way 300,000+ masks were distributed to angelenos as our city burned is bc we learned how to do this kind of thing together: in our leisure spaces, at our drag shows. you laugh—til you need us. and i’ll have a mask for you, because we all deserve clean air.

I'm so grateful that these networks that we built up for clean air in regards to
COVID are exactly the same ones that we can use right now. Our community supporting itself is powerful.

that there’s a not insignificant population desperate to exist with just a smidge more clean air than is offered nigh anywhere else. don’t wanna wear a mask? awesome, congrats, essentially the entire rest of the world caters to you—places where inhaling virus is less likely are few & far between.

totally sucks to log back on after driving across the country to see so much hate levied at the action of masking specifically, not to mention the people who are desperate for the very few places (it’s literally named last ditch people) still safe if not encouraging toward those who wear them.

hey @wutrain.bsky.social I know this isn’t under the mayor/city, but I just saw an MBTA bus with an ad for a crisis pregnancy center on the back, and thats pretty alarming seeing as just a year ago the city was running public ads about how dangerous those centers are

What was this, the second time in a month that leftists gleefully joined in on a harassment campaign initiated by reactionaries against covid cautious people? Seems like that indicates a critical absence in awareness and analysis. Maybe y’all should fix that. And your hearts too.

Today, on #SevereMEAwarenessDay, we're sharing the introduction and two excerpts from the new book, “What Is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Like?” These excepted essays were written by Madelleine Muller. thesicktimes.org/2026/08/08/t...
ID: Graphic showing the cover of the book, 'What Is Is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Like?' on the left and a  black and white photo of writer Madelleine Muller on the right. The book cover features dark blue boxes with white text over an abstract painting in shades of blue, green, yellow, and white. Other text on the cover notes that the book was created by the WIMEL writers with a foreword and other contributions by Bateman Horne Center. In the photo of Madelleine, the writer is resting and wearing sunglasses and earplugs. The text reads, “The Sick Times. “This exhaustion is cellular”: Excerpts from the new book ‘What Is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Like?’ By Madelleine Muller.” Then there’s the ME pain of exhaustion. This is not something an able-bodied person will ever have felt, even at their most exhausted. This exhaustion is cellular, and it feels like every cell is cramping, vibrating, and hungry at the same time.

The vehemence with which currently healthy people demanded compliance from disabled and vulnerable people still at risk - and whom they immediately abandoned and ostracized if they would not comply - always suggested to me that this was not rationalism speaking.

we need clean air, PReP, &more treatments bc indeed, doing everything to mitigate solo is difficult if not impossible. even with all the best tools, individual prevention is so isolating to the point where it’s, perhaps obviously, not sustainable for most ppl. but neither is getting sick like this 😞

a pal showed me this r/covidlonghaulers post and it broke my heart not only because it’s such a tale as old as time for chronic illness in a lot of ways, but also because i’ve heard more stories like this from consistently cautious people this year than in the past, despite the erosion of the state.
r/covidlonghaulers

u/marceupial • 17m
What would you do? My husband is tired of Covid precautions and I think he'll leave unless I lift them.

I've been married for just over 25 years. My husband and I have always been very active and mostly gotten along pretty well.
I got Covid in 2022 and it turned into long covid that lasted about 1.5 years. (Mostly fatigue that time.).
Then I got sick again in 2024 and got Paxlovid into me right away, and didn't get any worse.
Then I got Covid six months later (long stories how for each-I'd been masking with an N95 the whole time all and got unlucky with circumstances eg. Forced inside during a lightning storm in winter (!) and wasn't able to access my mask as it was in another building.)
The third time I wasn't able to get Paxlovid and I got much worse long covid: dysautonomia
(POTS), some MCAS, PEM/fatigue and crashes, gut motility issues and SIBO. My husband had to do somecaretaking during that time and was mostly cooperative with precautions because he had also had some long covid symptoms.
It's been two years, and I'm about 90% recovered again and he's fully recovered, but he's very fatigued with our lack of social life and inability to attend things because we'd have to wear a mask and in many situations he now won't. He says he can't live like this anymore.
I don't make enough to support myself, so I'd not be in great shape financially if he left. But that's where it's looking like we're headed. We had some marital problems related to our inability to be able to do fun things together anymore-we were always really active.
I have a choice-l keep up the precautions, stay healthy and lose my marriage and stability and best friend (so may as well be dead) or | risk getting sick and hope that the Paxlovid and metformin I have on hand keep me from getting worse. And if they don't.... I don't know if I can go through it again.... But being healthy but socially isolated would be a death sentence too.
What the hell do I do?
