Martin Grimshaw Has Long Covid

I've seen very little Liverpool #LFC fan chat about this.

If there's one Premier League club and one set of fans that's first to completely ditch Twitter / X than it should be us.

I've loved ie @thisisanfield.com for ages but I'm disgusted by fan websites still linking to posts and videos there.

In no way should we even begin to accept the bombing of a school full of children as part of the inevitable "realities of war" and anyone engaged in trying to convince you otherwise is a proponent of a grave and catastrophic evil

Lebanon: Israel Unlawfully Using White Phosphorus The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor.

Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.

Yeah. Thing is though a lot of it isn't even real, it's just bots.

Reckon there's more of a quality filter here. You can't just post any old shite / clickbait & get popular. Also, you have to invest time in building something new (like they did on Twitter 15 yrs ago), can't expect instant traction.

Yeah I know. It's not simple. Bills to pay etc.

But at some point...none of that matters anymore, it's just too evil. Where's the line?

For me that line was crossed a long time ago, seeing women, queer, sick, POC hounded off, disinformation - if it's unsafe for some, surely it's not ok for all?

'Our findings redefine SARS2 infection a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.

Even 20 months post-infection, CD8+ T cells remained 9.9% below baseline. Baseline lymphocyte subsets differed significantly by sex and age. Immune recovery varied by age and sex, with older adults and males showing prolonged lymphopenia.

20 months post-infection, in CVD pts, T lymphocytes remained 72.9% below baseline.

Insane: persistent ~73% drop in immune fighting capacity, including vs cancer. 😢

Fellow Liverpool fans, don't we stand for anything anymore? Where's the solidarity? How does the club justify remaining on X? What about the fan sites?

Yeah, I know, it's 'hard', there's millions of people still there, but so what? Where's the fucking red line? How much is too much pedo-fascism?

There’s no excuse for anyone to still be on X. Simple.

Study links working while sick to higher risk of future absence

Study links working while sick to higher risk of future absence.

"Workers who report going to work while sick, a phenomenon known as presenteeism, may be more likely to miss work due to illness in the future, according to a longitudinal study of South Korean employees"

“Healthwatch’s warning that we are sleepwalking towards a one-tier, costly system is one we should all take seriously. Where getting dental care simply means paying for it privately, the NHS dental service exists in name only for many people.” @rachel-p.bsky.social, Chief Exec in @theguardian.com

Screenshot of a news article from The Post titled “Repeatedly getting Covid doesn’t build immunity, ‘it’s more like accumulating damage’,” written by Melanie Earley of RNZ and dated March 10, 2026. Below the headline is a portrait of leading vaccinologist and associate professor Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, shown facing the camera against a dark background. The article discusses how repeated COVID-19 infections may cause cumulative harm rather than building lasting immunity.

"Leading vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris says there's not enough awareness of the impact of COVID-19 on overall health."

"What many people don't realise is that getting COVID repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage," she says.

Like complaining to Hitler about books being burned. Just come off the damn thing.

Fed up with big tech? Here's the good news: we don't have to use it! There are better, safer, free European alternatives to just about everything Silicon Valley is offering, and there's nothing stopping us making the switch. So here's some alternatives.

Desperately looking for silver linings, but maybe the Iran/oil price shitshow will remind people that local renewable energy and energy independence are pretty sensible strategies, and dependence on gulf-sourced oil isn't. From an economic/ security standpoint, let alone THE FUCKING CLIMATE CRISIS.

The King is supposed to be visiting the USA *next month*. This is the definition of a diplomatic nightmare. In all seriousness, I would urge him to pull a sickie.

This is Mycena rosoflava. A species of agaric mushroom in the family Mycenaceae. It is a wood-inhabiting mushroom native to New Zealand.

Close up photo of a group of Cladonia podetia. Each podetium is light grey in colour and shaped roughly like a golf tee. The top/bowl of each podetium is ringed with numerous small, roundish bright red blobs. These blobs are called apothecia - they are reproductive, spore producing structures.

A dark blue graphic for International Women’s Day featuring a purple and blue gradient hand icon with a heart in the palm at the top. The word "WOMENS" is written in large block letters, with each letter containing a black-and-white photo of women. Below it, the word "Day" is written in pink script. At the bottom, pink text reads: "Diseases that mostly affect women – like Long Covid and ME – are still trivialised, psychologised, and dangerously underfunded. Medical misogyny isn’t a relic. It’s alive and well."

👭 On #InternationalWomensDay we honour the women with Long Covid and ME and allies who keep pushing for truth, research, and care.

♀️Listen to women. Fund the science.

Today is the annual Covid-19 #DayOfReflection. 6 years have passed since the start of the pandemic. We reflect today, alongside our community, on the people who lost their lives to Covid-19; the people who still face day-to-day impacts; and on the road ahead.

#Covid19 #DayOfReflection #LongCovid

Graphic for March 8th International Women’s Day. The Long Covid SOS logo appears at the top in awareness day colours. Beneath it, “March 8th International Women’s Day” in teal and underneath in a lighter teal shade “Women living with Long Covid and other invisible illnesses deserve to be heard, believed and supported” “No more gaslighting” in orange italics. At the bottom the image shows layered silhouettes of diverse women in profile, in different colours and hairstyles to represent solidarity and shared experience. A faint lifering motif from the Long Covid SOS logo forms the background. And at the bottom left text reads “#IWD2026”

Women are too often dismissed when it comes to their health told it’s “anxiety”, “your age” or “all tests are normal”

#LongCovid is following a pattern many women already know. Women living with Long Covid deserve to be heard, believed and supported.

“Climate scientists suspect global heating of 1.5C-2C may be enough to trigger near-apocalyptic “tipping points” that play out over decades and centuries, with the chances of catastrophe increasing at higher levels of warming.”

This. Absolutely fucking THIS. It's oxymoronic - you can't love the mountains AND fly to them. Not when you can see glaciers melting and mountains crumbling in front of your own eyes.

And knowing how much everyone suffers. It's the least we can do.

Hey Kin, good on yer. Me too, flew more than my fair share (what we now understand to be 'fair'), then when it became clear that we could no longer fly *and* survive, I stopped*.

* Made the Silver Pledge in 2006 - 'try not to fly', and barely flown since.

And I've lived *a lot* since then.

Rediscovered this, pretty sure I have it on a compilation in my cd collection. Highest sale on Discogs is £900. Afro jazz from Batsumi - Lishonile (their original 1974 version), out of South Africa.

'Public health abandoned. We all pay for it with “corridor care”. People going to hospital for treatments such as cancer only to catch Covid on wards where not even health workers mask. Some don’t come out alive. Most hospital-treated Covid cases are caught in hospital'
