The documentary wasn’t that good. #tyrabanks #antm

Would love for you to join us. #LongCovid #MECFS #disability

I’ve noticed the (obvious) silence on #BlackHistoryMonth from #LongCovid, #MECFS, and other orgs.

It appears they are capitulating to our federal government’s response to DEI, Blackness, and racism.

This makes me sad but not surprised.

Thank you. Will do. ♥️

Black History Month: Compassionate Correction + Black Long Covid BINGO With a new name and concept, I am introducing the Black and Living Side of Chronic Illness, a list of Black people you should know in our community. And let's play BINGO, too!

I never really understood the impact of #JesseJackson until last year. May God rest his soul.

Why Black #LongCovid BINGO?
Please support!

Facts! All of the Long Covid folks were like, “He’s gonna save us! OMG!” And he ain’t do shit. 🙄🙄🙄

I want you on the list! Would you feel like filling out the form? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

#LongCovid + #MECFS community: is #RFKJr still your king? 🤣🤣🤣

Happy Black History Month to US — Black, disabled, and chronically ill folks.

We deserve a stake in the land, too.

I’m very serious about my causes and celebrating Black History Month for Black, disabled, and chronically ill folks in a country that refuses to acknowledge it this year.

I’m also playing a Black Long Covid BINGO game that is virtual and for everyone. Buy your BINGO cards at blacklongcovidexperience.com/blcestore

Same.

Still feel this way.

The Washington Post wants to slim down on local DC news. That is like eating ice cream with no flavor. DC has always given that paper flair. Wow. Travesty.

I want you to live forever, Big Rob. Truly.

Sanitary products*

How do we get women products for their sanitary needs? Birth control pills? Chronic illness meds? Does ICE assure that these women are protected this way, too?

I wish I could donate what I have but where would I send it?

Colleagues of ICU nurse Alex Pretti held a moment of silence on Monday, after he was fatally shot by an ICE officer over the weekend.
The photo shows workers of the Minneapolis VA Medical Center in the halls of the care unit, coming together in a heartbreaking tribute to the 37-year-old nurse.

Andy Cohen is a joke. I don’t take him seriously at all.

@peoplemag.bsky.social so you’re saying Oprah only propelled two Black peoples’ careers?

Stop lying: what about Iyanla Vanzant and Dr. Robin Smith? Were they not worthy enough to make your list? You all whitewash everything now. You’re not even real news anymore.

Long Covid.
Black History Month.
The Mount Black-MORE of Long Covid.

Coming soon!

My #Substack is lit and back up.

Episode 11: Racial Diversity Needs No Meetings I recently declined a meeting with Patient-Led Research Collaborative (PLRC) to discuss my "concerns" on racial diversity in Long Covid and MECFS organizations. Here's why.

"Heads nod, throats clear, + giant pauses signal how uncomfortable everyone is with truth baring down on them.

[They]...end meetings trying to assuage me away from the original point." #longcovid #disability

Episode 11: Racial Diversity Needs No Meetings I recently declined a meeting with Patient-Led Research Collaborative (PLRC) to discuss my "concerns" on racial diversity in Long Covid and MECFS organizations. Here's why.

"Meetings like these usually aren’t effective. They include mostly white people in power who wish to meet with Black people who have complained about their observations or experiences with racism by calling them out (and in)."
