Covid: June 5, 2025 by @violetblue
"we still have a planet-sized truckload of problems about Covid minimizing, ignorance, inaccurate information, news items that ignore huge changes to #COVID19 surveillance, and outlets still reporting that it’s over. It’s getting so ridiculous. Like the Daily Mail this week ascribing the Covid-uptick in heart attack deaths to edibles & smoking pot.

"For celebration, I feel like we are so gaslit and dismissed that we deserve to celebrate how incredible we are to have survived this pandemic, how well we’re still taking care of ourselves by masking and vaccinating despite the odds and hate. If you’re helping in words or actions, you’re a goddamn prevention champion in my book. Aspiration is harder because hope feels like such a dwindling, finite resource. >
