Complicity in AntiBlackness as we Fight #LongCovid is an Admission of Racism and Discrimination Everywhere.

What report card grade would you give the #LongCovid activism movement as a collective? . Consider racial inclusiveness, messaging, supplying financial, mutual aid and other forms of support, and organizing. We’ll use the A, B, C, D, and F letter system?.

Happens to me all the time. Or if I dozed for five mins, my adrenaline is like, “time to party, Chimmy!” 😩😩😩.
Anyone else's "bedtime" (haha) routine wake them up?. I can be so tired it's hard to move, but after I brush my teeth, flush my Jtube, and hookup a new bag of saline, it's like I've summoned adrenaline to do those things and I'm wired and fidgety. So much for "sleep routines".

Yoooo! I laughed out loud because this is so the damn truth and it’s funny AF.
I love when people say, “We can’t live in fear,” as if their immune system runs on vibes and manifesting strong T-cells.

HELL NO! As a matter of fact, I recently asked people to give a letter grade on LC advocacy. Hardly got any feedback.
POLL. Do you feel that, altogether, the Long Covid groups represent your views?.

Enjoyed seeing old school folks and my PLRC/OMF cohorts. I suggest you look at the recording of this event. There has been a nice bit of progress made with this collaboration.
Join us for an update from the PIs & patient reps on the projects funded by the @patientled research fund!. I'm a rep on the microbial metabolites one & the foraminal stenosis one. @ahandvanish @Rivkatweets @SelinLab @MichaelPelusoMD @roshankumar @chiluvs1 @leticiasaurus & more

Welp, that last sentence. Should we restructure or just say F-it?.
@taniataylorpowe @TheWHN Thanks for the advice. I'm not willing to give up my anonymity, I've been advocating about Long Covid since June 2020. I also do not wish to be part of a group, I don't have the cognitive capacity to deal with internal politics and ego dynamics. Thanks.

Let me remind @nytimes.
FACT: Black women don’t need white people to lord over them. We got this. Jackson was chosen bc she’s more than capable. She’s brilliant. The court has been on a homophobic, xenophobic, and racist tear over the last few weeks. She’s the exception to selfishness + evil.

.@michaelharriot wrote a thoughtful @substack piece asking if the @nytimes was racist. I think we’re long past knowing this is true. If a Black woman has to be “rebuked” by a snobby coworker — and you frame it just this way — you are writing in a racist, sexist tone.

.@nytimes has become crummy and distasteful. How dare you speak so maliciously about a Black woman who is abiding by the law while other justices are money-grubbing hypocrites? . We are always expecting Black women to be chastised. She doesn’t deserve that.
Who needs a “rebuke” if they’re doing their jobs? . Jackson isn’t worried about the public’s opinion of the court; her opinions stand at the door of the law and righteousness, something you’ve forgotten. She’s a Supreme Court justice: she is there to do a job; not be liked.

There you go again, @nytimes: you’re writing irresponsible headlines with this “Black women are too aggressive” malarkey. You wrote this article, making Barrett a hero after she publicly dismissed Jackson’s opinions. You’re about to get cut from my sub list.

Please help us win the $20k. Plans: Japan, Long Covid education for disabled Black communities, daughter’s education, and a new door and bathroom.
Tory and I are NOW 6th! Please vote for us. I would love to see us win as a Black couple with one half of us with #LongCovid + disabled. The intersectionality would be dope! .

I must say, @cityofpok pit on a good #Juneteenth parade and festival. I’m outside with other beautiful people. Won’t be here long since it’s hot as fish grease but it feels so good to be here with my people!
