By Anne ConnollyIf the government wants a true indication of the level of feeling in the community, perhaps it should read the thousands of comments on Facebook where discussions about the algorithm, long waitlists, and people dying are growing by the day.

My generation shouldn’t be scared of a care tax – we’re paying one already | Gaby Hinsliff
By Gaby HinsliffIf Andy Burnham is minded to grasp the nettle, he will need to sell it to people like me. The right will call it a ‘death tax’ – why not a levy for ageing well?

CW: Long Covid Awareness Day, family, mutual aid, radical collective care
Also, really wanted to say on #LongCovidAwarenessDay how grateful I am for my amazing partner who cares for me and supports me, unconditionally, so much on a day to day basis; I am not sure what I would do without them. I also am lucky to have a few close family members, some who have always been supportive and then others who seem to be responding positively to my change in approach of being a stronger advocate for myself and my illness. Again, I am really thankful for how much of a positive impact the online community has had on me with this. Importantly, this also relates into the need for radical intersectional praxis regarding Mutual Aid e.g. Mask Blocs, creating and sharing resources with each other, and building communal care collectives that foster new, healthier, solidarity framed relationships, resisting state violence collectively, rather than having to be 'lucky' enough to have people close to you, especially family, there for us.
