I thought this headline was a joke when I first read it, but no…it's real. I've signed a petition telling Ofgem to reject Musk's application to supply electricity to British households. Will you join me and add your name?

Please consider signing this & writing to your MP. Eløn Musko MEDDLES & EXPLOITS.

My first covid infection was Feb 2020; it wrecked my lungs. I masked up&continued to mask because I have lupus& my beloved is also an autoimmune sufferer. My rheumatologist’s nurse gave me my 2nd inf., when I was asked to remove my mask to check my mouth. How I wish I hadn’t! Pretty disabled now.

I don't think Covid waves mean much anymore, since we've constantly got mutating strains of Covid in the community. Vaccines are lagging behind the variants. Masks protect against all variants and are 100% protection against Long Covid too.

Air polution, airborne viruses that can transmit asymptomatically, wildfire smoke.

So many reasons to wear an N95 or better equivalent both indoors and outdoors!

Avital & exciting book. And. One of the most beautifully, evocatively written pieces of non-fiction I’ve encountered.

I read the Secret Life of Plants; I was so disappointed, it took me a long time to try the subject again. So glad I did!

It takes a lot to really excite a 69yo. This. ⤵️

Yes. Thank you. I’ve been through all the Bvitamin tests, & tried B12 & B1 supplements. It didn’t help, unfortunately.

Now I have long covid as well. Everything that afflicts me is autoimmune.

Is long covid an autoimmune disease?

When the pandemic first raged in 2020, & ‘long covid’ first emerged, I remember saying to myself, ‘this is like lupus! Gawd NO, if this virus gives people a lupus-like condition…no, no, no’. I had suffered with lupus for 25yrs at that time.

Just ran across this. In the ongoing discourse around what LC is, many people reject anything that isn’t ME/CFS.

But as we in this community know, LC takes many forms, attacking any & every part of the body. …/2

There’s a lot of people who want to fight fascism yet won’t wear a mask

Fascism & eugenics go hand in hand. They’re coming for the disabled and chronically ill

Wearing a mask shows solidarity with disabled people, while also protecting your health so you’re better equipped for the fight

Mask up

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years, report says Nuffield Trust says supply chains have shifted, with medicines for epilepsy and cystic fibrosis among those now scarce

“While drug shortages have become a problem globally in recent years, the UK is facing “a worsening situation” compared with the rest of Europe because of Brexit”

Excellent work, Brexiters.
Absolutely nailing our sovereign right to be self-harmingly idiotic.
