still coviding (masking in public, cleaning the air best I can, being responsible in an ongoing pandemic) isn’t always easy. but, what I will say, without putting rose colored glasses on for too long and while acknowledging the expenses/admin, still coviding is NOT the thing that is causing any sort of detriment to my quality of life. quite the opposite actually. I’m not only protecting my health, my loved ones, and strangers, but I’m also living out my values and can sleep at night!
still coviding isn’t giving me grief.
covid denialism, the fact that people who have access to the advocacy of disabled people are NOT following through with their solidarity, governmental eugenics “let it rip” policies - these are the things making my life harder.
speaking for myself here …
still coviding is what gives me access to public life.
covid denialism from the majority is what is making it shrink
"WEAR IT AND STAY HEALTHY"
My new 5pg collage comic about COVID solidarity with Palestine is out now, in Steel Transplant's COVID Cautious Queers Zine 2.
The main text/art are posts Muhammad Smiry and Omar Hamad made from Palestine this past year that I reproduced in marker. The transparent scraps are printed quotes from news articles and medical journals. The longest one on this page is from "Gaza, armed conflict, and child health", BMJ Paediatrics Open, Feb 2024.
To read the rest, download the enormous wonderful 125-pg digital anthology yourself for FREE - any money goes to mutual aid. You can also read the whole comic here on tumblr.
I also ask you to support Muhammad and Omar (and his Needle Of Hope project) directly as they survive the USA/Israel's ongoing genocide, and keep masking up!
I don't think we can talk about how gross it is that channel 4 is focussing on bakers being unwell and leaving the competition early and fainting mid-show without talking about COVID.
Like I know the style of the show has changed in recent years, with more focus on the drama (RIP Mel and Sue you would never have let this happen) but it is not normal for people to be ill like this.
Bakeoff is filmed in the summer, when seasonal illnesses are usually lower. We used to rarely get someone off for a week but that was it. However, COVID isn't seasonal. For the last few seasons since 2020 this has been very common; contestants and hosts off regularly during the season.
COVID was surging over the summer. I do not believe these things are unrelated.
6 year anniversary of covid before world aids day….. can’t make this shit up
good boys wear masks
If people had just worn their damn masks longer 😭
Where are all the Covid conscious sapphics and will you give me kisses (after we both test negative multiple times of course)
