Thank you CTV News Vancouver for having me on behalf of the @mefmsocietyofbc.bsky.social.
Five years into #COVID, BC urgently needs more investment into healthcare for #LongCovid & associated post-infectious chronic conditions like #MECFS. @josieosborne.bsky.social

Still true as ever: "I am focused now not on trying to magically get my life back to what it was in 2019, but on how to live the fullest life I can with this sick body. I am planning for my own disabled future β while dreaming of a better collective one." #MECFS #pwME #neisvoid #disabledsky

It's been 2yrs since @thetyee.ca published my #LongCovid essay. I've been so grateful to see improvements in my health, thanks to accessing a doctor with expertise. But my return to law school (p/t) has only underscored how little we learned from the pandemic about enabling remote & flexible access

A water colour painting of a grey heat pump and a yellow house. The painting is displayed in a grey wooden frame, on a while wall.
On the heels of the big climate win at Vancouver City Hall keeping gas out of new buildings, I gifted my mum this beautiful heat pump water colour by @nicolekelner.bsky.social for her bday. Itβs a hit and proudly up on our kitchen. Check out Kelnerβs work for some sweet nerdy climate art!

NYT columnist @zey.bsky.social has written about PLRC & how we've made some of the best #LongCovid research possible, despite being a small group of chronically ill people.
She's very kindly chosen us as this year's nonprofit to donate to, and we're deeply honored!
