Ok. Little chat. As we are hitting the 5 year anniversary of Covid lockdowns beginning in 2020, as someone who is permanently disabled by Long Covid, here’s what I’d love to see when people talk about the ongoing pandemic and how it effects them:

It’s a very good time to get used to doing the right thing even though you’re afraid of it or there might be consequences.

I’m writing about #maskbans & air pollution in US West for @thesicktimes.bsky.social. Looking for folks who can speak to that intersection: people w/ #LongCOVID and COVID-conscious people also impacted by air pollution (inversion, Valley Fever, wildfires, etc). Reach out to amelia.diehl at gmail.

I've interviewed the ridiculously talented Daniel Blumberg, who walked away from mainstream music success as a young man, and has only gone and got himself an Oscar for his soundtrack to The Brutalist. Listen to his music (included here) – it's great! www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...

Since the start of COVID, the number of people reporting a disability soared. Yet the majority of the world acts like COVID is over, and Long COVID doesn't exist.

You can quickly use @resist.bot's leading petition on keeping flu shots to quickly message your reps. If you have a more personal story about how the flu shot protects a loved one, use the @5calls.org app to leave a voice mail this weekend. Petition Link: resist.bot/petitions/PQ...

Bonafide Masks, where I buy my Powecom KN95s with headstraps for the last several years, is running a 25% sale (code:BFM25). I can comfortably wear these masks on 18-hour flights. The sale pulls the price down to about $1/each for packs of 50: bonafidemasks.com/black-poweco...

On the cutting room floor is the bit where the host introduced their interview series, The Interview, and I asked how long it took to come up with the name. Anyway, here’s me talking about birds and science and burnout and moving through the world. The photo’s nice! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

Call to action-Childhood vax/covid boosters (plz boost) RFK has fired ACIP to replace with his antivaxxers; kid vax + covid/flu/RSV boosters are at risk. States can make their own requirements. Use @5calls.org or @resist.bot to call your STATE reps to keep vax access. Script outline below.

If you are in the Midwest, I would strongly recommend getting a Covid-19 booster, masking again everywhere and avoiding eating in restaurants indoors due to very high levels of Covid-19 detected in wastewater: www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...

Still trying to figure out why the Pixar movie Elemental hit me way harder with the French dub even though I was watching in 20-minute increments at home and within that had to pause a lot because there are many words related to fire and water I didn't learn in "school" or "press releases about DJs"

NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars. This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

My thoughts on #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld in our current political climate and the desire to see Sam Wilson and President Ross fit into the limiting purview of liberals vs Trump.
