Instead of manufacturing hatred towards a group of people doing no harm, take a look at the facts.
Protect the children? Absofrigginlutely, from the warfare taking their lives in a place they should feel safe.
Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago, has died at 88.
She got to grow old.
Emmett Till did not get that opportunity.
Rest In Power, Emmett. ๐
@kestrelforanave @IrelandoIreland @YosefDavid9@ShutUpMurdy It was and is the worldwide catholic church who are responsible for these awful actions and the impact they have had. We condemn these actions too; who wouldn't? Do you condemn the historical or current actions of tyrants, no matter what country they belong to?
This is the reality, it's not "oh, poor me". No one wants pity, but understanding means so much when dealing with an illness. #LongCovid#LongCovidIreland
It is so hard to communicate how post-viral illnesses like ME/CFS feel.
People understand broken bones, diabetes, even cancer.
They donโt understand how talking for 30 minutes can create a concussion-like feeling, or how doing the laundry can lead to a fever & flu symptoms.
When life in your sphere may feel like it's moving along or moving past covid, take a second to consider it is not like that for everyone. Maybe do something small to help, like wearing a mask or really hearing others' stories. #Covid19#LongCovidIreland#LongCovidAdvocacy
I wish more people understood that saying โEveryone will get COVIDโ is, among other things, highly ableist. We should not be casting aside the lives and health of medically vulnerable people.
A big thank you to every healthy person speaking out for those struggling with Long Covid and other chronic illnesses. The world needs more people like you. ๐โค๏ธ
Please sign for those or us who had no choice in going to work, and are now ill. The support would be appreciated so much. #LongCovidIreland#TreatLongCovid#Support
@thejournal_ie@emermoreau The headline chosen for your article is untrue for so many of us, and damaging for all of us who are fighting to receive help for #LongCovid. This information has been taken from one study of 153 people? There are thousands of us. I don't even drink alcohol, and I suffer daily.
