everytime something new and crazy happens, I end up stress retweeting, then clearing up my profile so it's not covered in stress retweets, and then rinse repeat

@HexPositive Feel this heavy ❤️‍🩹

Mourning Pope Francis as a queer lapsed Catholic

ALSO last thing I’m gonna say is that The Florida Project and Tangerine were better!

[gisela @giselanutella]

@lydiaetc oh no!!!! I’m so so so sorry to hear this Lyd, you thrived so much in that role and I hope that an equally great or better one is ahead of you very soon ❤️‍🩹

Nationalism will be (already is) Latinos’ downfall

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

the only reason to prevent people working from home is the commercial landlords are losing money on their offices, and people are realising that a specific type of manager simply doesn’t have much to do all day unless they’re watching other people work and it embarrasses them

[Angela M. Vázquez made 🦠their whole personality @AngelaMSWinCA]

I need y’all to remember that BIPOC, most prominently Latiné based on CDC data, are living with #LongCovid, and largely undiagnosed, unsupported, and are being sucked into disability poverty.

Ty @Univision for choosing this question to be asked.

@tiredguineapig I am seeing the most popular Long Covid doctor at the NYU Langone Post-Covid clinic, and he also doesn’t believe MCAS is a thing…I am honestly so shocked and part of me wants to educate him, and the other part is furious and wants someone else to do it

[gisela @giselanutella]

@SalvMattera @LarmaKarma I’m in vision rehab therapy to address this very issue! Like PT but for eyes, you do vision exercises (harder versions of your typical yearly eye exam). Assessed by a neuro-optometrist, who works w head trauma patients, usually post car crash, but more LC folks too now

[gisela @giselanutella]

The physical therapist I’d been trying for months to see had a cancellation today, so I’m seeing them now 😭🙈🙏🌑

[Logan ☽ @astropriestesss]

OMG a lot of people are getting MAJOR opportunities and upgrades with this eclipse energy!!! I wasn’t expecting that from this one but okkkkkk let’s go

[ClearHealthCosts @chcosts]

As a doctor, I’m disappointed in my colleagues for ignoring Long COVID. I made a resource to educate them and the public. Check out this resource at @thesicktimes https://t.co/2S2JfWMJtF

[gisela @giselanutella]

@nbakercahill of course, wishing you all the best and here with you in long symptom solidarity ✊

[gisela @giselanutella]

@nbakercahill It is…v much akin to relearning how to walk after injury, exercising the muscle again and again so it builds a new memory

[gisela @giselanutella]

@nbakercahill Yes, any strong smelling essential oil or its source (the orange peel directly)!

[gisela @giselanutella]

@nbakercahill Covid scrambles the wiring for so many bodily functions, so the idea is to help your wiring for smell function “disentangle itself” or “remember” how it used to run

[gisela @giselanutella]

@nbakercahill I lost my sense of smell for about three weeks (minuscule in comparison to your experience), but learned of “smell training” where you deeply breathe the scent of strong oils/spices (lavender, cinnamon, cloves, etc) every morning and night for 5-10 mins, I think it helped me!

[Justine Barron @jewstein3000]

So many people aren't engaging with Long Covid discourse because they'd rather not think about it possibly happening to them, but the odds are getting higher and higher - over 40% for a third infection.

[L., MA @leslieleeiii]

Don't get too excited, there are still no known treatments for COVID. Maybe they'll mask at this clinic at least.

[Noha Aboelata, MD @NohaAboelataMD]

To the many getting c19 for the 1st time:
- Sorry to hear it! Hoping for your fast recovery.
- Good job delaying this long! We have treatment, know more about limiting household spread, etc.
- Go easy on yourself, physically and mentally. Stress & worry don't help the healing!🧵
