Today is Long COVID Awareness Day.

We recognise those living with LC and those caring for people with LC.

We must all provide support and join the call for research and a remedy for LC.

#LongCovidAwarenessDay

Chart: U.S. adults reporting a disability The number of people reporting a disability soared. Many Americans struggled with long Covid and reported cognitive issues like “brain fog.” Source: Census Here, adults refer to people older than 16.

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.

It's Long Covid Awareness Day. I know ~10 people (still) suffering from life-altering Long Covid. The only 'special' thing about me? I've been public about my own illness, so I hear stories others don't. Long Covid is widespread, devastating, and deserves everyone's attention

I’m thinking of everyone who has been affected by Long COVID. This condition is unimaginably lonely, but I promise you’re not alone.

The disability community has been a lifeline for me through this, I would be lost without them. I hope you can find people who understand and support you ❤️

Thank you so much for listening! I really appreciated it! ❤️ I’m sorry that you’ve experienced ableism at work. You deserve a workplace where you can be your full self at work, it makes such a difference. Sending all the spoons and best wishes your way ❤️🥄

How many years is a panic-attack supposed to last?

i've got a type A personality. type A lot on da copuder

Victoria will legislate to ‘thwart’ protests at places of worship while banning masks and flags Jacinta Allan announces measures targeting protests in bid ‘to combat antisemitism’ after synagogue attack

What. The. Actual. Hell?!

"Face masks would also be banned at protests, with Allan saying they were being used by some demonstrators to conceal their identities."

So, disabled/immunocompromised people have just lost their right to protest and stay safe!?

SHAME ON VIC GOVT!

*lying face down in a pile of trash* yep. i'm on it. i'm doing that. i'll get that to you soon

I’m only a failure by human standards. if I was a children’s book badger in an apron I’d be like “whoa this house is massive, and I own so many cheeses and jams.”

mental health break? you bet it did

the coolest part of being disabled in a pandemic is the ongoing normalisation of eugenics and complete disregard and dehumanisation of disabled and chronically ill people

The only lockdown that's happening is the locking out of higher risk people from society indefinitely because governments are refusing to enact basic public health policies to slow the spread of disease during an ongoing pandemic.

I'm tired of trying to get people to care about ME/CFS

I need to stop trying, at least for now. It's not worth my time. People just don't believe it because they're like "but surely if there was an illness this bad and this prevalent we would have done something about it already!" and well, no. :/
