today is the three-year anniversary of the covid infection that turned into long covid. it has completely rewritten the course of my life. it has brought me untold levels of physical suffering. it has devastated my mental health.

Likely preaching to the choir here but I want folks who are still active on X to realize that they are participating in a community that supports this kind of behavior.

and boy are your arms tired

"I'm supposed to be a tough guy," Curtis confided. "I can hold your hand," the mayor offered "What happens if I faint?" Sliwa asked. "I've got you," Mamdani assured him, grabbing his hand as Sliwa received his flu shot. abc7ny.com/post/nyc-may...

Sorry not to be reply to everyone who responded to my info request about #ME/CFS treatment y'day. Totally overwhelmed by utterly horrific stories. Now busy pulling it all together. And starting to see that there's a whole other story to be written (one day) about capital and chronic conditions. 1/2

I think more people should know this. COVID is bad enough by itself, it isn't necessary to mislead.

Looking forward to participating in this event! investors.bioviepharma.com/news/news-de...

i've spent a lot of time following/covering law enforcement aviation but this is pretty bonkers

I think it’s important to know that people like this are often referred to by the media as experts in illnesses like Long COVID and ME/CFS.

Time to go to the Farmer's Market and then open up the studio and fold some zines and hang out with a visiting pal and prep some files and man it's nice to have a quiet Sunday

Today is the day of a big functional and visual redesign of Unsung, my blog! unsung.aresluna.org

Two of my favorite teams working on Long COVID research get the profile they deserve! Thanks to Smithsonian Magazine for featuring. www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/m...

What's so cool about this to me (disclaimer: I have a small, compensated role on this project) is that it shows how trials don't just need to test innovative treatments – they need to have innovative operations to fully represent the spectrum of people affected.

New preprint from LoCITT-T describing our protocol and lessons learned. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6... Thank you to all LoCITT-T participants for their efforts and engagement, and to all caregivers who supported their participation. 1/8

What’s your favourite writing (or video) specifically about accessibility? It could be technical or inspirational or high-level or down into the details. I’m curious if people have go-to examples of something that’s really well told in this space.

This is my Roman empire

The study I can’t stop thinking about: Gut biopsies from people with Long COVID showed persistent SARS-CoV-2. The immune system could detect the virus and respond with inflammation, but it could not clear it. And that’s only one of this week’s important updates. 👇 #medsky

went on a walk and folks the latest issue of taylor street cat news just dropped. also you can subscribe now. i’m going to subscribe

The paper speculating that Covid may be airborne AIDs has been temporarily removed (reason not given). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Again, "defund the police" is a perfectly reasonable, good governance proposal in response to absolutely bloated departmental budgets with poor performance track records. OPD had a clearance rate for violent crime of 10% in 2024.

Hey remember how you were told to just expect Covid infections as the new normal and most of the healthy people would probably recover? Welcome to the lettuce version of that.

I was hoping for your help with something. (Please RT for reach.) Is there a particular font that’s instantly recognizable to someone who lives where you do, and appreciated/recognized/hated there, but completely unknown elsewhere? Road signs, street names, transit, infrastructure, stuff like that?

Really excited about this biomarker discovery program (and proud to be a member of its scientific advisory board!)

NEW: Last month, Biden’s former White House coronavirus response coordinator Ashish Jha offered his public support for the COVID lab leak origin story. He first endorsed the unproven narrative in February 2025, but his recent comments come amid escalating GOP attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci.

getting tired of people on the left still launching substack newsletters after all the reporting on that company in recent years

I think people have been taught to interpret "preexisting condition" as "someone who decided not to take care of themselves" rather than three-quarters of the US population

if you hated covid "lockdowns" try long covid

if you are ignoring a minority saying they desperately need your solidarity because “the government says you don’t have to anymore,” it is unlikely that you’re on the right side of the issue.

Stuck in line waiting for emergency passport renewal which gives me ample time to share today’s SEACRITTERS COVER REVEAL!!!!!

Intersting diary entry by Dr. Fauci (per WaPo) on 8/6/23: 'The NIH has been given $1.15 Billion to study long COVID..I have been very disappointed..under the leadership of NHLBI with Gary Gibbons and Amy Patterson as well as Walter Koroshetz.' www.washingtonpost.com/documents/82...

i hope @rusty.todayintabs.com writes a whole newsletter about goon stroke when he's back from paddling the arctic

For those of you who are still over there because of "the reach" or "the discourse" or whatever.
