tfw you’ve sent dozens of canvassers out and you get to hang out at the Dogwood table talking to a whole bunch of North Burnaby passerbys who are sick and tired of our public money propping up Big Oil. Terry Beech 黃志峰 #burnabybc #burnabynorthseymour #stoptmx #notanotherdollar

Officially one full year of stewing about governments ignoring Greyhoundexit! There's literally *no excuse* not to fund public long distance transport in a time of MMIWG, climate emergency, and escalating inequality & I wrote about it here: edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column… #cdnpoli

"It’s hard to appreciate how much energy breathing takes until you’ve experienced the bone-deep fatigue that makes you acutely aware of the effort to expand your ribcage for each breath." A sobering read by Sophie Harrison for The Tyee. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/…

"All of us — elders in the disabled community, people newly disabled during the pandemic, and those not-yet-disabled — have a stake in co-creating a more accessible society." Thank you Sophie Harrison for your courageous writing today in The Tyee. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/…

Incredible article to read due to its relatability with #LongCovid. We were both busy young grad students pre-infection that became forced to go on Medical Leave, & now grieving our old bodies. Where’s the awareness + public health communication, especially in BC? Nonexistent.

This is a must-read about how public health officials and government are silent on the crisis of Long Covid disability. As Sophie Harrison reminds us, BC has not even tried to determine how many are suffering from Long Covid. How much of the workforce is affected?

"If our government’s current plan for long COVID is to literally let hundreds of thousands of (people) develop a chronic illness for which there is no treatment and minimal support, then it’s past time we had an honest conversation about it." thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/…

I just found out author of this fantastic piece — Sophie Harrison — is mutual friend of my cousin. Both went to Stanford University together. #LongCovid is literally everywhere — hiding in plain site. So many people are sick, very few are aware of it. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/…

🛑I wrote about what “fatigue” really means for people with long COVID and ME/CFS, and why this profoundly debilitating symptom is so often misunderstood and trivialized. (This piece also covers PEM.) 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Our #MillionsMissing BC team has collected 99 stories (& counting!) from people with #MECFS and associated chronic illnesses around the province. We'll be delivering them to David Eby's Kits office on May 10. Join us: forms.gle/ZXv4wGsfJYjhJP… #TeachMETreatME #MEAction #LongCovid

If you’re looking to make a real impact for the #LongCovid community, here it is. Chimère’s film is already changing lives and will continue to impact Black patients living with LC in huge and meaningful ways. Vital ways. Donate if you can! blackandunbelievedfilm.com

Folks arriving now for a protest at David Eby’s Vancouver office calling on the BC government to support those with ME/CFS and #longCOVID. Dozens too sick to travel send messages on these posters. #fundMEtreatME #MillionsMissing

That 60 disabled folks with ME/CFS AND #longcovid have dedicated their scarce energy to gather at David Eby’s office is an expression of love, despite all they’ve lost. They deserve our love with research $, MD training, disability support, 1:1 physician care not webinars.
