to anyone reading this, if you get sick with covid this season please please please treat it like a serious medical event. sars-covid19 is an incredibly aggressive vascular virus and it attacks and damages every system in your body. rest for as long as you possibly could.
research has shown that radical rest is instrumental in minimizing the damage that covid will inflict on your body. even if you feel fine, take it easy as long as you can—long covid can sneak up on you years after the initial infection and there are no cures and barely any treatments. while we’re at it, please start masking in public. it’s never too late to start again. about 70% of covid spread is pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic, while rapid antigen tests flag false negative in more than half of cases. each covid infection compounds your risk of long covid and it, in turn, can trigger early onset of hereditary conditions (including lots of cancers). it suppresses your immune system. so you need to rest.
if this is scary to read, take care of yourself, but please confront it. yes, it’s existentially terrifying. millions are suffering and there are more people dying from covid per day than 9/11, if memory doesn’t betray me. but, if you and me and our neighbors and coworkers and family don’t start doing something about it, it will Only get worse. consider the context of most kids of this generation having had covid over and over and over again. pediatric long covid is ALREADY more common than asthma. the average life expectancy is lowering day by the day. that’s the future we are heading into. please help us do something about it.
if you would like to help:
start with finding a respirator that will fit the shape of your face for a good seal, KN95 or better, and start wearing it in all crowded places (store, park, doctor, bus, etc). covid moves like smoke and hangs in the air i.e. even if the store is empty you could still get exposed. if you’re in a big metropolitan city, chances are there’s already a mask block near you. you can get a variety of different shapes and sizes and colors of masks for free from them. my local one provides and delivers free rapids, masks, and educational zines for example. consider donating or even better volunteering—a lot of them are run by exhausted disabled people for free—they could use your help.
second, start talking about it. to anyone and everyone. your family, your coworkers, your doctor, neighbors and acquaintances, organizers of events you’re going to. most people do not know this. public health has been obscuring and minimizing the state of public health so we keep making money for the ruling class. the isolation length was literally shortened after delta airlines lobbied for it, even though most science back then already proved that you stay infectious for days on days, and the alarms on long covid were already blaring. talk about it. acknowledge it. post about it, tell people why you started masking again, print out brochures and zines and leave them around where you go.
third, look into the Clean Air movement. clean air is as instrumental to public health as drinkable water, proper waste disposal, and vaccination. with climate change rolling into full force, these things will save thousands of lives and we need to start fighting for them today. contact your local hospital, school district, parent groups, clinics, and representatives (on all levels) and demand universal masking in healthcare, as well as clean air in schools. we need to protect these kids. this will only get better if you and i make it better. so we need to make it better.
and take care of yourself. stress is a killer and rest is revolutionary.
"Sometimes I feel like I am living on a different star from the one I am used to calling home. It has not been a steady progression. I had to examine, in my dreams as well as in my immune-function tests, the devastating effects of overextension. Overextending myself is not stretching myself. I had to accept how difficult it is to monitor the difference. Necessary for me as cutting down on sugar. Crucial. Physically. Psychically. Caring for myself is not self- indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."

"Well, I walked it back. Every shift I'd make time from my quota to dig just a little bit deeper. Then one day, after months of searching, screens started lighting up across the room. I had uncovered a cabal of corrupt purchasing agents who were stealing Imperial supplies in four sectors."

Temelow takes a third card, places it down, and you see that there is an enormous coiling dragon on it, whose body is the blue of river water and with trees growing from its massive scales as its slithering coil circles around.

I use full fat Greek yoghurt and self-rising flour
Ratio by weight
Add a pinch of salt
Knead until no longer sticky, adding more flour if necessary
Roll them with olive oil instead of flour and fry in an otherwise unoiled, preheated pan (medium heat) (trust in the lord; it will seem like it's going to stick to the pan at first but they'll unstick in about 15 seconds)
Roll them thin but not too thin; mine take about 45 seconds on either side
Serving with garlic butter is also a very good option
Even lefties I know will eventually concede to some situation where they think it’s right to force someone to carry a child against their will as if that’s not one of the most inhumane and cruel situations to put someone in regardless of any other factors

My subtitles for Seventeen Moments of Spring (Семнадцать мгновений весны) are done! You can find the full series with English subtitles on archive.org!
Set primarily in Berlin in the spring of 1945, Seventeen Moments of Spring (1973) follows a Soviet spy deep undercover as Standartenführer Max Otto von Stirlitz as he works to sabotage negotiations between Germany and America for a separate peace that excludes the USSR. Directed by Tatiana Lioznova (Three Poplars at Plyuschikha) and based on the novel by Yulian Semyonov, it stars Vyacheslav Tikhonov (War and Peace) in his career-best performance as Stirlitz.
I hope my work will be appreciated by people who either love the series already, or who might now be tempted to check it out. I seriously cannot reccommend it enough!
The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"
On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."
