Why are ppl scared to call it what it is and say we’re still going thru covid on top of seasonal illness. Like. That’s pretty important right. I was watching the news and they were like oh yeah we have an unprecedented number of flu cases “as well as other sicknesses” without actually saying Covid. No announcement abt vaccinations or masking or anything. Also if I hear someone joking abt “war flashbacks” for mentioning covid I fucking hate u

#source: most of my family members are nurses and it was so bad for one of them they had to be put on a ventilator. in the hospital they #worked at. looking back I think I had a reason to feel a little offput by the shows of support early pandemic #with people tying blue ribbons around trees and lighting signs blue to support healthcare workers #I get that it was supposed to be moral support when we couldn’t do anything but follow health advisories #and it did matter to make them feel uplifted and do something than nothing. im not gonna deny that #but. you can still help now. u know that right. you still have a responsibility here #u can still mask up. u can still get vaxxed and call in sick to avoid infecting others #don’t leave it on healthcare workers to pick up the pieces just because they were doing it before. do u think they had a choice? #nobody likes picking up the slack for someone else and now that we have more tools to do smth couldn’t we just. do it???? #im not a virologist but i also feel like continuing to let it get worse by letting more mutations develop #could continue to set us back since this virus is pretty good at fucking us up long term and finding new ways to do that #while there are ppl still researching covid which is STILL A RELATIVELY NEW VIRUS. and studying possible treatment and cures #yapping #vent

Also - I guess I never really mentioned it here - but I'm fucking PISSED at how much this whole COVID bullshit threw a wrench in my work plans this month. I was sick by the 1st, almost two weeks later still coughing and dizzy and can't work as much as I'd like to. I tested myself this Wednesday, still said positive. I just want this shit to be over, I have old commissions to work on, new commissions to start, other unnamed things to work on that are time sensitive, not to even mention my poor comic on Patreon...

I'm just angry. This is bs, I had plans.

Alright I'm done with my rant, I just wanted to vent. I'm excited about everything I have to work on but I'm pissed that I cannot be working on them at the capacity I hoped for. Fuckin... *kicks stone*

#I know who we got it from and I wish them a big FUCK YOU YOU KNEW YOU WERE SICK AND STILL WENT OUT IN PUBLIC YOU ASSHOLE #anyway... at least now I know I can survive it? #I guess getting a yearly booster is a thing now like it's the flu #COVID #sorry for the covid talk but also be careful #personal #text #whining #delete later #gif

[moonshynecybin]

I’m sorry but I just saw your post and discovered that the “it was like when you kiss a girl” line is from TWENTY NINTEEN?????? So after they had already fallen out dramatically at leat two separate times??? Insanity. absolute tomfoolery. Marc needs to get tf up and I need to lie down for a month

2019 confuses me so bad lol. like they have both publicly stated that they were done with each other entirely at that point and yet. and yet. like especially from marc hes like argentina really let me know that i shouldnt waste my time hoping (and then the misano fiasco seems to confirm that !) but. he also shakes vale's hand that year and compares it to kissing a girl. he also stares at vale peacocking for the cameras in his suit when they shot that motogp anniversery promo. and then from vale's pov these pictures exist:

like what. why. what is wrong with you two

#and then after that its marc's arm and covid and vale's retirement so they just dont get to spend a lot of time in each others orbit #maybe if they did theyd thaw again ? or theyd divorce for a third fucking time who can ever be sure.... #callie speaks #motogp #asks #rosquez

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]

okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.

The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?

Yeah, fucking absolutely.

But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.

You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.

Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

There are options.

There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.

#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways #There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse. #I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something #There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others #or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all #or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost #$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably. #or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill #or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels. #or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis #suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away #life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away #Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly #people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before #they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability. #long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious. #they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority. #they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag #but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing #it already is. #its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people #ALL people. #they use basic human rights as bargaining chips. #the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.

hi I'm home sick with covid, am probably not getting paid for my time off, and have had to order quite a bit of food cuz I don't feel well enough to make anything o/-< it's getting very expensive very fast and I don't have much money left, plus the money im losing out on from not working is gonna fucking suck.

I can't draw anything rn cuz my apple pencil doesn't work and I'm just so so exhausted anyway but here's my kofi and my v*nmo is herecomeslee if you wanna help a guy out

#covid #kofi #this is such a miserable experience I already hate being sick and I've had covid once in like 2021/22 but this is so much worse dawg #I'm in sensory hell right now like I was so overwhelmed by how full of snot I was that I cried several times including a full on sob sesh #I can't do fuck all either cuz I'm so exhausted but can't get any fucking sleep cuz I can barely breathe (too much snot not a lung issue) #I want this shit to be OVER AUGH #lee says shit

The fuck do you mean kids under 12 can’t get the Covid vaccine all of a sudden that’s the kid that needs it most

#that’s the one that has friends and a chronic inability to stay away from people JFC #Covid #how the fuck does the pediatrician not have Covid vaccines at all for that matter #THE YOUNGEST STILL LICKS CARS RANDOMLY #WHY THE FUCK CAN I NOT GET HIM VACCINATED SRKFUHSRKUFHSKRUFHSKURFH FUCK #delete later

[amorremanet]

My mom gave me covid for Christmas (likely before the holiday, when I was mailing her holiday baking for her because she has physical limitations that mean she can’t do it herself), but she also gave me the first four volumes of The Husky and His White Cat Shizun because she read the title instead of the plot summary and decided it sounded like the least objectionable thing on my wish list, so I forgive her for the covid thing

so anyway, Mo Ran is the most hilarious narrator I’ve encountered recently. It is sort of confusing to be laughing so much because I decided to read 2ha after being promised that the novel is really fucked up, but seriously, he is such a shit and it’s SO funny, spending an entire scene referring to Cheng Da as “Big Intestine-gongzi” destroyed me

#i’m not happy about the covid thing but i forgive her for it #i’ve also decided to blame it on my dad more officially like maybe he brought it home first #he’s unvaxxed and basically believes he can prevent himself from getting covid by mainlining zinc lozenges & taking hydroxychloroquine #spoilers: my mom is on hydroxychloroquine for her rheumatoid arthritis and she still got fucking covid #kassie hush #mine: text #kassie liveblogs erha #erha #2ha #husky and his white cat shizun

[luckyagain]

people being selfish enough to go to a show sick, get other fans sick, and then taking a photo with louis on the red carpet KNOWING you have covid is unbelievably fucked up

#like how fucking selfish can you be??? #your friendly neighborhood healthcare worker is reminding you to fucking quarantine and mask when you’re sick #get your flu and covid shot #keep immunocompromised ppl’s health in mind #covid cases will go up during the holiday season stay safe

[puppyeared]

man

#maybe im being pessimistic abt this. im not saying u should wear a mask every waking moment of your life god knows i cant #but also. hell no i dont trust u if anything i distrust u ppl even more after how things played out for the past 3 years #like there are situations where it might be inevitable catching covid. most of my family members are nurses and in constant contact #but there are also a ton of ways to make that risk low as possible like masking and wearing a face shield and having sanitizer #for me its not enough to just say oh we're in a small group and we're all vaccinated #motherfucker your kid is sick from preschool EVERY TIME WE VISIT. of course ill be wearing a mask she gave me covid last year #also no the fuck it isnt seasonal the cases go up because lack of caution makes the virus spread and mutate especially around times when #ppl gather. add that with virus transmission in cold weather and its a matter of different factors increasing the risk of spread #im also tired of ppl not understanding that i wont be their responsibility if i do get sick. maybe they can help me recover #but at the end of the day the risk of death and long term health is all on me. i cant change that #the govt barely gives me accommodations what makes u think theyll do anything for every individual case of long covid or worse #im so tired. im so tired #i dont even know if its possible to want this to be over anymore i just wish we didnt have to deal with this in the first place #ALSO COUGH INTO YOUR SLEEVE SERIOUSLY HOW IS THIS SO HARD TO REMEMBER #oh its just a cold/dry throat its not like i have covid or anything. no!! its basic hygiene!!! how is this so hard to understand!!!!!!!!!! #and no this isnt abt whether people have the means to protect themselves this is me bitching abt my relatives not taking me seriously #vent #my art #myart #doodles #covid 19

[hamartia-grander]

I'm actually so sick and fucking tired of people who think covid is comparable to the flu. Just bc you or a family member got it and didn't die doesn't mean it's not super fucking serious and life threatening, ESPECIALLY for disabled people/people with health issues/autoimmune disorders. Every time my father sees me wearing a mask he rants about how covid is just like the flu and that everyone is over reacting and [insert shitty conspiracy theory here] and it makes me so upset every goddamn time. I got covid half a year ago, despite doing everything right, thanks to my parents' stupidity. I was sick for 13 days, entirely bedridden and feverish for 9 of those days. I physically couldn't get out of bed, not even to piss, the entire first day my mother had to half carry me everywhere. Same thing the second day, when she dragged me to the doctor where I tested positive. The first five days, I couldn't even look at an electronic device and had to keep the lights off all the time bc I'd actually vomit. I had a migraine that didn't go away no matter what medicine I took, for the entire the first week. My nose was constantly stuffy and my sinuses were so backed up I couldn't breathe through my nose, which made breathing in general so difficult and painful bc my asthma was also exacerbated. So my chest hurt too. All my normal chronic pain was magnified tenfold. I had a 103 fever for three days in a row, then it fluctuated between 98-100 the rest of the time. Thinking about it right now I still remember the pain and how it felt. I've had strep throat, a lot as a kid. I've had chicken pox, and the flu several times, because my parents never fucking vaccinated us. I have never been more sick in my goddamn life than I was with covid. And this is just me. Yes I'm disabled and yes I'm still being tested for possible autoimmune disorders (my mom and her whole side of the family have them) but even still I'm not nearly as at risk as a lot of people, and I was still more affected than anyone in my entire family, who have all also gotten covid because of their own stupidity. My taste and smell were never affected, but I'm still losing hair from it, which is apparently also a symptom I never knew about.

Wear. Your fucking. Masks. Covid is still around, it's still super fucking serious, it is NOT just like the flu, and you had fucking better take it seriously. Even if you don't care about getting it yourself, at least show some goddamn consideration for others whose health and lives are at risk.

#And despite how horribly sick I got my father literally doesn't believe me that I felt that bad #He actually thinks I faked it to make them take it more seriously. I always fake giving a shit about you dad I didn't fake covid #Covid #cw covid #coronavirus #Everytime I see someone not wearing a mask I get so angry and feel so fucking betrayed #Every maskless bitch who claims to be leftist or supportive of others or claims to care at all about other humans are fucking liars #If you can't even wear a harmless mask when you go in public how the fuck can you actually believe you care about others. #Note that I'm speaking from the perspective of an American tho. I understand there's places where covid doesn't even exist anymore #Or where there's no reported cases #But in America it's so fucking bad it's unbelievable #I couldn't even go to a hospital bc we were out of state when I got sick and no where took our insurance bc apparently being out of state #Voids your insurance or at least it did ours

[slythernnn]

Hellllloooo from me and my dirty mirror 😊

#gods I realllllly need to get that tattoo covered 💀💀💀 #thankfully the Covid is basically gone now my periods just gotta fuck off and everything will be back to normal #ugh i gotta go to cat foood for nightmare children but I don’t wanna leave the house 🫠 #my live in partners toxic trait is that he is incapable of doing anything alone so I’m forced to go with him 🫠 #maybe I’ll see if I can Instacart the food #the thought of putting on pants makes me wanna die a little 💀 #shut up rian #me #self #face

[foldingfittedsheets]

We’ve had some possible exposures to covid lately despite being vigilant maskers, so my betrothed and I are both walking on eggshells wondering if we’re getting sick. It doesn’t help that it’s fall and we’re stressed, the time of Seasonal Funk and stuff.

To be safe we’re both doing the wet sock thing tonight which is the wooooorst but I’m gonna be so brave about it.

#ramblies #we both Frequently think we’re getting sick when we’re not cause it’s such a thing with my health #but I will be piiiissed if I have covid on my birthday and right before I can get my booster #my betrotheds exposure was closer contact while eating so they may fall first if we are indeed gonna get sick #but I really fucking hope not

[renee-mariposa]

I’m ready to walk out of my job.

The last straw was, this week they cracked down on overtime. This was the last straw for two reasons:

1. Normally (pre-COVID), our patient volumes are lowest in summer. This year, we’re having winter-flu-season patient volumes (flu season is always the busiest time in the hospital). We now have the second busiest ER in the metro, seeing hundreds of patients per day (we’ve reached a thousand per day several times this year!!!) in a 25-bed ER. This is coupled with the fact we’re operating at 30-50% (a third to a half!!) normal nurse staffing, and have been doing so since 2021. There isn’t a staff member in the hospital who is twiddling their thumbs for a second. I heard tonight that the hospital is trying to end all their contracted labor early (and I assume we’re relying heavily on contracted nurses to fill staffing shortages!)

2. Because of this patient load vs low staffing, it is literally impossible for us to finish all the tasks we are assigned each day. But we still have to meet our metrics and are chastised/penalized when we don’t meet them! Worsening the situation: instead of asking each ‘problem’ staffer why they’re always clocking out late, my department management emailed all the problem people with “suggestions on how to leave on time”. Suggestions that are bullshit because they don’t address the actual reason the person gets overtime consistently.

So this whole perfect storm is coming together to convince me that corporate expects us to work off the clock. Which I’m about 95% sure is fucking illegal.

#it’s been a long time since I’ve been this angry #I feel helpless and trapped #we need to go on strike but I don’t know how to get the nurses involved #our sister hospital just kicked out their nurses union :( #I quiet quit months ago #now I’m fucking ready to riot #the corporation lost a lawsuit about 15 years ago regarding making people come back from lunch #and not paying them for that time #denying their lunch break #I got some money out of that suit #I want the corporation to pay for this insult through the fucking nose #and also denying staff COVID boosters #but that’s a whole different rant #I fucking hate this place #I need a new job but I don’t know where to go #and this corporation owns half of the hospitals in the city #I will fucking walk out of my job before I work off the clock #is there somewhere I can report this shit??? #I can’t believe they’re getting away with this
