waiting on the morning's COVID test. Honestly feels kind of like Groundhog Day. "If the little positive control line sees its positive COVID protein shadow, it means two more days of quarantine, but if it's sunny and therefore unaccompanied, I will no longer be tired all the time sometime soon!"

Update: Having poked around Runner’s World for a bit, I have come to the conclusion that I’m probably fine to run once a week as long as I’m cautious, slow, keep it short, etc. I have also come to the conclusion that I need to up my deep breathing exercises to twice a day because holy shit you can lose your ability to breathe from your diaphragm? Not fucking doing that! Not doing it.
#fighting fish blogging#covid blogging#fun fact: i actually just did a set of ten long breaths and my chest feels better!#i doubt it's a cure all but i do enjoy feeling better

Light sensitivity ebbs and flows
Skin felt Bad earlier, very sensitive
Just now about ten minutes of feeling super warm
Not much of an appetite but that could just as easily be from being damn near sedentary
Nauseaaaa it comes and it goes
I feel like tomorrow is gonna be the Bad day

Now is the Time to Start Masking Again
If you stopped paying attention to COVID with the release of vaccines, you've missed a lot.
COVID is airborne.
Long COVID impacts 10% of people infected by COVID (though this is beginning to look like a low estimate). Risk of Long COVID goes up with each reinfection. Long COVID is worse than initially reported.
Bisexual and trans people are more likely to develop Long COVID.
Black and Hispanic folks are more likely than White folks experience more symptoms and health problems from Long COVID.
***COVID and Long COVID has much more in common with HIV and AIDS than the flu (28:19 - 38:30 of linked video)***
The Basics
[WEBSITE] You Have to Live Your Life
[ZINE] What's Up With COVID and How to Protect Yourself - 2024 Edition
[FAQ] r/ZeroCOVIDCommunity's FAQ and Resource List
"This is great and all but it's overwhelming. TL;DR?"
COVID is airborne. Long COVID is much more common (and serious/debilitating) than previously thought.
Mask with an N95 or better in all indoor spaces and outside when close to others. Improve your indoor air quality by opening windows and using fans/air filters.
Rapid tests are prone to false negatives so make sure to retest in 48 hours after exposure and/or when you develop symptoms. Isolate in the meantime. Consider upgrading to a NAAT (PlusLife, Metrix) or PCR (Lucira) if you have the money.
Things for you to do today:
buy some N95s or request some from a local mask bloc
open a window more often and/or buy an air purifier
buy the best COVID tests you can afford

you know those massage beds with the little padded hole fit your face so you can lie face straight down and also not die? why isn't there like a little padded contraption you can put your face in on a regular mattress so you can sleep face down like you've stolen a massage table and draped yourself over it for a nap

I just lost a fight with a childproof cap on a bottle of mucinex. This is evidence that I am not an adult, and therefore should not have to pay taxes. In this essay I will....

Maybe death is such a taboo topic in America and the west because we can't acknowledge the thousands of deaths done in our name.
