Beautifully put by one of my fellow Long Covid friends…LC is mainly invisible but its effects are far reaching. So many people trying to keep their jobs, their sanity, their lives together 🙏💛#LongCovidAwarenessDay

One happy #blackbird in my garden #waterforwildlife

@T_Brautigan @1goodtern Just ignore the data. C*vid is fking everywhere. Arcturus just snuck in our house despite my very best efforts…. More vascular issues for me now ☹️

Lovely #Bumblebee thread

[The Bee Guy @the_beeguy]

People asking us about the very small #bumblebees they’ve encountered (if they’re lucky this year!😔) over the past few weeks.
Wanting to know if they are a specific species.
So here’s a brief thread to explain what they are.
Please #retweet if you find it interesting.

@greenmattbfd It’s a really nice path but I expect it was pretty busy today

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@1goodtern @CarrieAnne001 I’m annoyed that I’ve had to get ill. Several times. It’s called having a teenager who is basically asymptomatic when they get it. I can’t mask 24/7 around my own kid. Stupid world ☹️

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@JAMicrobe @healingfromlc How utterly awful of them. Mainstream medicine has literally no idea about LC. When my legs don’t work I know how demoralising it is…sending strength 💚

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@BrigField @c_thorsson Lol me too. True equality 😊

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@CarolineLucas @AppgCoronavirus @LongCovidKids @long_covid Thanks and pls keep speaking up 💚 Us folks with LC are being dismissed and compromised despite our best efforts. Lies + no mitigations = long term disaster for NHS and economy #CleanAir #LongCovid #Nonewnormal

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@DarrenBar88 I am right there with you. Every day a battle at the minute. Sending strength 💚

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

Absolutely no coincidence that this line takes off steeply from the beginning of 2020…caused in large part by #LongCovid imo. Policymakers being utter fools by ignoring it. I’m sure they know… but have no will to tackle it. Not gonna play out well 😕

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

You know you REALLY want to support this land purchase effort for people and nature 👇🦔🐞🐝🦉🦇

[Menston Area Nature Trust @MenstonNature]

MANT is raising money to buy the Otley Road fields Menston for the community. There is room for allotments and for nature to thrive! This is the best chance to save the land for everyone. Please donate generously. We have until 26th May to raise £150k. https://t.co/nn7k2KbbRu

@angel_leigh @Mr_Withers83 @NateB_Panic Maybe. I guess we’ll see. We can’t get boosters, Paxlovid or anything else of use in the UK. I am self medicating for LC - there’s no help available. The only conventional drug I use is ibuprofen - not sure that’s gonna keep me alive in the long run!

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@angel_leigh @NateB_Panic Truly. But I think they also massively miscalculated. True costs won’t be visible for another few years. Our NHS and other healthcare systems are sunk but few realise it. There’s going to be massive rationing of care which has already started

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@DearUniverse_cs So beautiful 😍

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@roxy_mojo I had just about started figuring this out for myself but thank you for the confirmation

[Menston Area Nature Trust @MenstonNature]

Join us celebrating the Coronation wildly!

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@greenmattbfd @DarrenBar88 I’d love to see that, so hoping you can take Ilkley for starters. 3 Green votes here including our first time voting 18 yr old 😀

[Emma Dalton @Naturetrustsec]

@DarrenBar88 Surely people can see thro this negativity by now…wish I could vote in this ward tho - I’m Wharfedale.
