    Viel Liebe für Lieutenant Tilly, die den hustenden und schniefenden Jay-Den in Quarantäne schickt.

  2. I'm at VGH for first 3 hours of work & can't wait to leave. I dislike work days that involve being in any #hospital because of all the unmasked plague spreaders in that #medical workplace environment.

  3. Ich jetzt meine Beziehungsberatungs-Website übersetzt und freue mich über Anfragen und Weiterverbreitung

    I have translated my relationship counseling website, look forward to enquiries and would be happy for people to spread the word

    • Deutsch: katharina-debus.de/beziehungsb…
    • English: katharina-debus.de/relationshi…

    Ich biete Beziehungsberatung in Berlin und online für alle Geschlechterkonstellationen und alle einvernehmlichen Lebensweisen, Beziehungsmodelle und Sexualitäten. Wichtig ist mir, nicht mit Schablonen einer ‚guten‘ oder ‚richtigen‘ Beziehung zu arbeiten – weder entlang gesamtgesellschaftlicher Normalitätsvorstellungen noch entlang von Community-Normen –, sondern Umgangsweisen zu entwickeln, die zu den beteiligten Menschen passen. Mein Ziel ist die Unterstützung hin zu Beziehungen, die allen Beteiligten guttun und auch mit Herausforderungen umgehen können. Dabei arbeite ich vielfaltsorientiert, diskriminierungsreflektiert und herrschaftskritisch/machtkritisch.

    I offer relationship counseling in Berlin and online for all gender constellations and all consensual relationship models and sexualities. Rather than working with templates of ‘good’ or ‘right’ relationships—either based on societal or community norms—I aim to support you to co-create approaches that correspond to your individual wishes, needs, and boundaries. My goal is to assist in fostering relationships that are beneficial to all involved and can also handle challenges. In this process, I appreciate diversity and strive to take into account and mitigate effects of discrimination, inequality and power imbalances on relationships.

  4. #ThrowbackThursday 2022.
    I miss Dad very much 😢 ❤️ He's been gone for over 2 years now.
    I remember this day well. It was an excellent family bonding day. We had a nice dinner after a short walk together. 3 months after this photo was taken, Dad had to go to ER for a leg muscles issue. He was infected with covid by unmasked hospital staff. It happened shortly after our eugenics government removed public masking mandates. Dad ended up dying from covid related cardiac arrest, the following Summer.

    I have never forgiven the #BCgovernment or #unmasked #hospital staff for killing my Dad. We had him fully protected with home #caregiving for years. It took less than 2 days in hospital for him to get #covid.

    Please #WearAMask. Please don't let my Dad & others who died from getting covid from unmasked people, to be forgotten. It could be you or your family members, next. Covid doesn't care if you believe in it or not - it will end up wrecking your life, one way or another.

  5. Normalize saying "unidentified" kidnappers, cops, etc. rather than "masked":

    1) A naked face is only an identity if you can get it on camera and make it viral - which most victims can't. Names, badge numbers or IDs will get us a lot farther than noses.

    2) The logic of mask bans kills people.

  8. “No Olympic athletes are going to get Long Covid! It’s been 4 years and I don’t know anyone who has Long Covid!”

    Yes. You do. Many people don’t disclose their disabilities for fear of ableist backlash. Others don’t connect the dots and may not realize they have Long Covid.

    The sad reality is that like many other chronic illnesses - Long Covid is poorly recognized and likely underdiagnosed. Many patients are dismissed with “anxiety” by doctors who don’t understand the nature of these conditions.

    Others can’t afford to seek healthcare as they’ve already lost work/income due to being chronically ill. Some may not have safe access to healthcare due to lack of masking and clean air in hospitals. They KNOW they’re sick but can’t risk re-infection.

    There’s also people who are suffering from Long Covid and don’t realize it. They either can’t connect the dots (due to denial or lack of information) or they’ve convinced themselves it’s just “aging” or “stress”.

    It’s alarming how many people in their 20s & 30s are writing off very serious physical symptoms as “getting older.” You shouldn’t be too exhausted to function in your twenties. Everything shouldn’t hurt. You should be able to smell your food. You shouldn’t be sick all the time.

    Then there’s those who know they have Long Covid - but choose to keep it quiet from friends and family. Ableism runs incredibly deep in our society - and when you admit to being chronically ill you may find yourself judged, ridiculed, disbelieved or abandoned.

    Many chronic illnesses are invisible - you won’t KNOW someone has them unless they CHOOSE to tell you. Ppl in my life had no idea I was disabled until I began advocating for disability rights. I could hide symptoms well enough to not tip them off & I didn’t volunteer the info.

    Looking back I’m embarrassed by how long it took me to publicly admit I was disabled. The fear I had about sharing it is an indictment of how cruel people can be. Everyone preaches tolerance & acceptance - but few actually practice that in real life.

    There’s also an extra stigma associated with Long Covid because it forces people to think about a period in their lives they’re desperately trying to forget. It challenges the narrative that we’re “back to normal”.

    I lost many friends and loved ones when they found out I was sick. Some losses were immediate and brutal - people who carelessly tossed me by the wayside because they instantly put me into the “less than” category.

    Other losses were slower and more painful - because they involved false hope. They were the ones who stuck around at first - who applauded me for telling them the truth & offered help and support.

    Many did help - until they stopped. They almost all stop eventually. 1/2

  9. Imani Barbarin gets right to the heart of the issue of Olympians competing while Covid positive:

    “Once again this is a story of Americans celebrating someone overcoming a systemic failure - Covid IS a systemic failure from the top down.”

    Couldn’t agree more. This is not an inspirational moment. His life & career were put at risk when he raced. The health of other athletes, medics, volunteers etc was also put at risk.

    Normalize resting when sick!

  10. Back in 2010 I founded the #NonProfit @freetechproject which I still work for and thankfully enables me to #WFH #CovidCautious while caring for my partner who has #LongCovid -- facilitating #OnlineLearning via relaxed, fun and friendly video meetups with predominantly older people that have remained our only method of delivery since 2020. The organisation is seeking to add to its board of directors and it'd be great to have interest from UK folks passionate about increasing online engagement and tackling social isolation, as well as #EthicalTechnology #FOSS #fundraising #PublicHealth and, yes, the fact #CovidIsNotOver. Please spread the word, and/or get in touch if you're interested! Thanks! @onepict @privacydingus @kathimmel @crowgirl

  11. CW: Covid, Lucira tests, a follow-up rant/asking for advice

    Following up again on my issues with #Lucira #covid tests. I think I have an answer! Several other #CovidCautious people I know told me they've had problems with #LuciraTests expiring in Oct. 22, 2023, and since those expiration dates haven't been extended, they think that the tests are just too close to expiring to work properly.

    It's frustrating that despite what we're told, we don't have the tools to manage #covid19, at least not on our own as individuals—we don't have easily accessible and reliable tests, we don't have vaccines that prevent illness and transmission, and we don't have #MaskMandates or #PaidSivkLeave in the US. Now one of the few tools I thought I had—Lucira tests—are also becoming unreliable and inaccessible. But it's comforting to know at least the issue was with the tests and that I wasn't doing something wrong, other than expecting the test to work up until their expiration dates 🙄

  12. CW: Covid, Lucira tests, a follow-up rant/asking for advice

    Posting again about my issues with #Lucira #covid19 tests. I have taken three tests today, only have one left, and two of them have just given me the "all lights flashing, inconclusive" result. I'm hoping test three gives an actual result, but is anyone else getting these issues with Lucira? Is there a way to avoid them? For context, the expiration date on these is October 22, 2023, so in theory they should be working, but it is getting expensive, time consuming and extremely frustrating to have to take multiple tests to try to get an accurate result.

    I'm thinking it's time for me to suck it up and get the Metrix #covid tests, but they're so very, very expensive! But on the other hand, today I essentially just spent $60 on useless Lucira tests, so...

  13. CW: Covid, Lucira, a bit of a rant

    Is anyone else who's #CovidCautious noticing the quality of #Lucira #covid19 tests seems to be...lacking? I assume their results still very accurate, but anytime I take one, it almost always gives the "inconclusive" result, so I have to take another one, and I end up having to wait over an hour to figure out if it's safe for me to see high risk friends or not while also more quickly using up my dwindling supply.

    I'm also noticing that many boxes seem to have pieces missing, usually the nasal swabs, so I end up using a swab from some rapid antigen tests that are about to expire, and I'm not sure if that impacts the quality of the result or not.

    Is this happening because the only Lucira tests left are close to their expiration dates? Is it because they're likely from when Lucira was going bankrupt? Has anyone else noticed this? And does anyone know if Pfizer has any plans to make these tests available again in the future?

  14. CW: Wildfires, air quality, covid, climate change

    Looks like my area will be back to dangerously unhealthy air quality levels tomorrow because of the #wildfires in Canada. The air is already getting hazy again. Sigh.

    I'm weirdly grateful that being #CovidCautious has prepared me for this because I have N95 masks and air filters, but I also worry about those who aren't as privileged. I also think it's appalling how obvious the need for both #ClimateChange action and improved ventilation are, yet we seem to be sliding backwards on these issues instead of addressing them with the urgency we need.

    Anyway, I hope everyone is staying safe, and #WearAMask!
