Chronic illness can change how we look—and how we feel about it. Missing a former version of yourself doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful now. You’re allowed to feel sad some days when the mirror feels cruel. And you’re allowed to let go of some of that pressure when you need to. #longcovid #mecfs

I LOVE this and HATE this. I love that a place of business will fly the Pride flag showing respect for all people. I hate that we have to fly a pride flag since that Stars and Stripes flag at the top should stand for all of us to the point we shouldn’t need other flags and causes. Let’s do better!

Double.

We don’t talk about our illness because we want to. We talk about it because it affects how we sleep, eat, think, breathe, walk, work, socialize, and exist. So yeah, it comes up! #longcovid #mecfs #chronicillness

Dear Democratic leaders: Ask Pete Buttigieg what is the right messaging strategy for this situation, then do whatever the fuck he says. All of you.

Facts: * 35–45% of COVID cases are asymptomatic * Symptoms can mimic flu, cold, allergies, or stomach bug * Vaccines offer very limited protection against infection * Rapid tests often miss cases, especially early in illness * COVID is fully airborne, spreads >6ft & can hang in the air for hours

Your child did not choose to be gay, but did choose to be honest with you about it. 🏳️‍🌈 Showing unconditional love and acceptance will have a huge positive impact on their life.

Hey NYC Mayoral candidates: COVID is still around causing chronic illness and death. It’s ridiculous to brag about how you handled COVID (especially since NY handled COVID poorly at the start of the pandemic), if you have no plans to address the ongoing harm that COVID continues to cause.
