Did someone say LESBIANS AND DRAGON?! 😍

Doctor: Over the last month, how often have you felt nervous, anxious, or on edge, or afraid as if something awful might happen?

Me: Right? Solidarity, man. I feel ya.

Doctor: No, I need you to tell me an actual number of days.

Me: Oh sorry, I thought you were doing small talk.

Wife: Are you reading a book with dragons and lesbians right now?

Me: Yes! How did you know?

Wife: Because you are always *so annoyed* by anyone and anything that wants your attention when you’re in the middle of a book about dragons and lesbians.

The first comic slide of “reasons to wear a mask 2026” depicts a person wearing a white mask who says “Hell yea!” Around them are bright pastel colors and cute but ominous looking SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Text reading “a lil manifesto about taking care of yourself and others- with over 50 citations! By Gillian Levine.”

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine extends playful the Long COVID fest concept and depicts a hand holding a sheet from a music festival with facts about Long COVID facts and prevention, stating that everyone is vulnerable and that there is no cure, among other facts.

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine shows ways to prevent COVID-19 and Long COVID, focusing on the importance of masking.

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine playfully gives reasons of why to wear a mask using a Monopoly board. Each square represents a different reason to mask, from protecting yourself and others to protecting yourself from other airborne virus. Dice and game board pieces are scattered around.

Artist Gillian Levine recently wrote and illustrated a comic sharing reasons to continue masking in 2026. She kindly gave us permission to republish it.

Pro tip: Don’t put me down as a reference if I once heard you say in a social media meeting “TERF clicks are still clicks.”

Dang man. Conde Nast selling Them to Equalpride, a week after they laid off all those people at The Advocate, Out, and Pride dot com is a heavy nail in the coffin of queer and trans media.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

FIFA to 'monitor developments' in Iran ahead of 2026 World Cup FIFA will "monitor developments" in Iran following the outbreak of military action by the United States -- the co-hosts of this summer's men's World Cup -- against the Middle Eastern nation.

This is a much smaller issue, of course, but if any other country had violated international law as much as the US has over the last year, it would be banned from international sports competitions.

My wife told me “pizza doesn’t taste as good when I’m eating it without you” which has got to be the most romantic thing anyone has ever said. Sorry, Mr. Darcy.

Thank YOU! I have never seen her so delighted by a gift!

You gotta get yourself some cross-stitch goodies from Megan. I ordered this Melissa Hat one for my wife and it’s her favorite thing I’ve ever gifted her in 15 years. She placed it on the wall directly over her shoulder so it can be seen on all Zooms.

Huge jump in viewership in the PWHL in their first game after the Olympics!

Let’s check on the boys real quick…

WE ARE $70 AWAY FROM MY GOAL

i think we need to be very clear that forcing trans people to use documents with the wrong marker is a form of sexual humiliation, it’s sexual harassment from the state itself

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

Lol she said “wrong number.”

Just called Caroline Bingley “cunty (complimentary) and in love with Elizabeth Bennet (complimentary)” in the family group chat. God please let my grandma think I meant “country.”

But man I am trapped in a mental countdown to the anniversary of my grandpa passing. I’ve never had this happen before. Every day, I’m like “11 more days. 10 more days.” Today is 9 more days. I don’t have anything planned but it is so heavy on my heart and mind. Grief is the WEIRDEST thing.

I’m not big on holidays, my birthday, that kind of stuff. I never really was but it’s way more true now with Long COVID. It takes every ounce of energy I have to complete my bare minimum daily tasks. I can cook dinner and do my part-time job or I can execute a birthday cake/card situation. Not both.

Miles, a white, bearded man in his early 30s poses for a selfie infront of City Hall in Los Angeles. He wears a n-95 mask, white shirt, and bolo tie. It’s a sunny, Southern California day.

Three supporters of the Long COVID Awareness Day motion stand outside city hall. They all wear high quality black masks and pose for a photo infront of colorful tile.

BREAKING: the city of Los Angeles just officially recognized Long COVID Awareness Day, and will light City Hall teal in observation of the day on March 15.

I was at the City Hall meeting and just spoke with the advocates that made it happen. Story to come in @thesicktimes.org!
