long covid blues

currently in my first crash of the year!! i am very glad that i've gone on this long — i have been doing pretty well this year and i got on LDN which has helped so much with the pain.

the aus government is kicking 160,000 people off of the national disability insurance scheme which allows disabled people to access mobility aids, medication, psychiatry, support workers to help get groceries or cook or go to events. at the very same time, the government is putting $53 billion into war spending.

my friend made last minute plans with me, and insisted that we do that day because she missed me. the second she arrived, she told me i should probably keep my mask on because she has had the flu for the last week and a half. and i think i just froze (smth to work on) bc i continued to stay with her for the next hour and a bit (in a park with plenty of air at least) as she frequently coughed into her jacket, no mask on... fuck my life 😭😭

the nsw state govt passed a series of anti-protest laws on christmas eve 2025, including an expansion of police powers to require protestors that police suspect of having committed, or to likely commit an offense, to remove their face-covering (eg masks).
