forgive me if I'm a little late to this? but let me get this straight: 

Neil Gaiman asks for fans coming to his events to please mask for everyone's safety

when asked why he isn't mandating them he says he tried but the venues won't allow it

many people don't listen, or don't see the ask bc it isn't official from the venue, and show up maskless

Neil now has COVID (for a second time, which means his risk of complications is higher) along with anyone else who got infected at that event

I just. y'all. please. 

If you are going to a fan event, especially a big one like a con where there will be tons of people, you need to be wearing a mask right now. Actors and other people who work in entertainment who meet with many people and frequent large gatherings or are part of con staff for instance are at significant risk of COVID from the sheer amount they are being exposed to, not only from acute infection but cumulative damage from multiple infections or long COVID and post COVID complications. COVID levels are nearly as high as they were in the first wave in 2020 and being vaccinated does not guarantee u cannot catch and/or transmit it(this study from this year says it's around 1 in five). Please be excellent to each other and do your best to not get your faves, their staff, or other fans sick. 

why and how masks work and what types are the safest (you can get good masks in all sorts of colors now btw if u want to match ur cosplay or stuff, ProjectN95 is a good source, and Jelli has clear masks if u want to have ur face visible)

I wish Neil a speedy and full recovery, and I hope more people listen to him and others trying to keep fans and creators and staff safe right now ❤️

#NYCC happening this week and I'm like 👀 good luck guys #neil gaiman #good omens #coronavirus #covid isn't over #covid cw #solidarity with neil here #comic con this year got a bunch of people sick too #this whole situation has me so angry. how many creators and fans have to be severely harmed or killed before the community reckons with #the fact that we still very much need safety precautions against COVID at these things #blurb

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

How Personal Life Experience Changes How you think

My grandpa is a conservative. He watches Fox News everyday and I have to listen to that shit from my room unless I can find some music to drown out the nonsense.

He's what you'd expect from a conservative with some key exceptions. He doesn't get the whole "transgender" thing, but he thinks vaccines should be mandatory.

Why would he think that? How did that happen? Well it turns out he lived through Polio and his brother had to be put in an iron lung

This is an iron lung. You get put in it when you get REALLY sick and the machine compresses your lungs at different intervals to help you breathe. My great uncle had to be in one of these because they didn't have the vaccine yet.

My grandpa might not be perfect, or even that great a guy, but he sees vaccines as a miracle. Get your vaccine.

If you're scared of getting your vaccine, ask your doctor questions. They want to help you, they can find the information for you. If you want to know what's in it and what the ingredients do, please ask. If you want to know how vaccines work in general (they all follow a similar formula because diseases work in a similar way, fundamentally speaking), please ask. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Please don't keep yourself in the dark because your worried about government conspiracies. Just ask questions.

Let this be a reminder that the average American is not blue or red alone. We are all varying shades of purple, even if the people meant to represent us don't see us that way. People learn, people grow. You just have to be patient.

Has anyone made a "So You're A Spoonie Now" pamphlet

for friends/family who have never been disabled before, and need to be informed of basic chronic illness tenets like

"accepting help is good, actually"

and

"seriously, anyone pressuring you to socialize when you're unwell can fuck right off"

?

I've had two of those conversations today, and I'm starting to wonder if someone's already made a resource I can point them towards

PANDECHRONAL !!

❝ pan-de-kro-nal ❞

🦠 Pandechro(nal) — a chronosian identity where one feels as though they are 2 years younger than their chronological age due to having those 2 years "cut out" of their lives by the coronavirus pandemic. Can also just generally relate to feeling as if one's age was impacted by the pandemic.

The covid situation rn is just breaking me rn idk what else to say

like. I'm too exhausted from being very severely chronically ill to write a like nice lil educational post for y'all, but I've literally been on the verge of tears for about an hour because of how horrible I am feeling about all of this right now. I am currently in a back and forth argument with a surgery center that needs to do a necessary endoscopy to try and figure out what the hell is wrong with my stomach, over weither or not they will wear masks during the surgery. if I need to go to the ER, it's a coin toss weither they will be wearing any either, or have decent COVID screening protocols at the hospital to keep other patients safe. they've mostly been repealed since the first vaccine rollout despite people getting infected in their hospitals and dying from it that way (have run into people in local groups who attest to that directly). so right now I'm basically praying that the surgery center agrees to wear the masks we offered to provide for them so that I can get my stomach checked out and hopefully not get fucking COVID, and that my stomach doesn't break in the meantime so I can avoid the ER. and I am not the only person having issues like this nor the most dire or urgent. as fucked up as my body is I have a functional immune system and a lot of people don't, and I have thusfar been able to avoid the ER and have doctors that respect my masking needs. a lot of people don't. and they are getting sicker and putting off necessary care because doctors refuse to give it to them safely. because of chasing some 'normal' that doesn't exist. we are still loosing over 1000 people PER WEEK to COVID and that doesn't count those who gain longlasting or permanent disabilities from it. risk for long covid and covid in general is looking more and more like it's cumulative. the more times u get it the higher the risk. and it is being almost totally ignored or just... obliviously missed by the general public. I just... I feel like I'm drowning. I don't want to die. I don't want to have to beg people to take my life's worth into account when that is literally their job to help me. I don't want to keep watching people like me get sicker or die and have people shrug it off and say 'oh well they were sick anyways' as if being sick as the same as being dead. I will live my entire live in that bit of wiggle room they seem to think doesn't matter and it is huge and grand and worth something. and I just. do not fucking tell me it doesn't matter.

as if they won't expect help when they get long covid and have to deal with the same arguments but somehow it's different bc now it affects them🙄

it just all feels like some horrible nightmare that is invisible right in front of most people's eyes and the one thing I fear worse than dying is dying and nobody fucking noticing or thinking it matters bc 'I was vulnerable' as if that is some sin worthy of death. as if they didn't owe me the same respect I give them. I wear my mask for others, too. I just wish they'd show me the same sort of basic decency, especially in medical settings. I don't want to die over pointless risk. and nobody else should either.

I'm so tired.
