I have always wanted to change the world. Even if I get through my current crisis, my lifespan will be considerably shorter.

No one changes the world alone.

And if 11 people can start a nationwide book ban, could a couple hundred of us bring about a more fair and equitable world?

Could we make being a good participatory workday citizen a shared value, and embed the idea in our culture?

And prevent it from being discarded?

I’ve also started changing my Patreon. My idea is to share the action items and tools I use every day to take action on issues that matter to me from bed.

Share what educated me to be a community organizer, how I am able to make a little difference in the world bedbound, for abled citizens.

Bring more people who want to help others together with people I’ve vetted who need help. And a way to expand help to people who pass basic vetting.

Since then I’ve been unable to work even part time. I was in the middle of a come back when I was hospitalized, adding to my grief & loss.

#LongCOVID has also brought me #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis - which has resulted in the worst fatigue of my life.

If I could get my GFM funded in under a month (like I had to watch a racist who attacked me on burdchan do TWICE in three days for more $$!)

I’d be able to transition back to working.

Almost didn’t make it out of my bedroom,

the ambulance couldn’t pull away before stabilizing me,

then they took me to the wrong hospital but the admitting physician refused to let them move me,

convinced I would die on the way.

It was bad.

Then I got #LongCovid

- I have some items for sale if you’d rather buy something. Some are #PayWhatYouWant

Please help if you can. If you can’t please share my story.

Thank you for whatever you can do.

And it’s never too late to start to mask. The WHO says 1 in 10 infections leads to #LongCovid.

Not 1 in 10 PEOPLE. Infections. Some are asymptomatic. Half of Long COVID infections lead to ME.

What happens if you get infected 10 times? A hundred?

There’s proof now that every infection weakens your system.

Please protect yourself and others. #PublicHealth.

In case you missed my last update, in February 2022, I got #COVID19 , COVID Pneumonia specifically.

With it returned the cancer I had beaten less than five years prior to active status.

I beat some pretty incredible odds so you can imagine my dismay. But that’s why I tried to avoid it so much. And I was fine until the state of TX made sure it got into my house every way they could.

Hi again.

I haven’t been around because

1 - I’ve been building the #COVIDSafe citizens app

2- Every other free moment of live has been spent fundraising, in activism or preparing for either/both

3 months ago I couldn’t raise the difference between my income & the money I need to… I guess stay alive.

I know, dramatic. But I’ve run out of credit cards to put the $1k/mo gap on.

And I HAVE to pay it

- no chemo meds means untreated stage 4 cancer & dying in ~ 6 months.

I’m $2k short of what I need at this point in the month.

If you can donate, thank you.

- it looks like a lot of money I have raised.

Staying alive with cancer, long COVID, fibro, and several other disabilities is expensive. My costs hover around $10k a month, essentials are $7k a month. I usually top out at $6k.

Every month is a struggle.

I have a Patreon. It’s hard to promote it and keep it updated when I am too fatigued and in pain to work.

Good morning citizens of dystopia. I need your help.

For the 19th month in a row I have not my monthly GoFundMe goal in time to pay my medical bills.

Particularly my chemo drugs and oncologist bills, which is also the only monitoring and care I get for Long COVID.

Late bills are mounting for living expenses. I’m about to put groceries for my two sets of twins on a credit card.

Please, please help me.

🚨 I need help. 🆘

I’m supposed to be back to work but I was too sick to work again within 2 days.

Plus out of chemo pills,

fatigued by Long COVID

& now have a flu that won’t go away

I can barely get out of bed. I have $1.3k of overdue bills & $3k in new ones.

If you can spare $10, or 1 reshare, it helps so much.

Thank you for your time ad help.

Just gonna leave a a handful of #abortion resources and such right here since that isn’t illegal.

The next project I’m going to start after trying to systemize the mutual aid network (without functioning like charities)

is a #COVIDsafe citizens coalition.

We may be the only ones masking in some areas, in others it’s half the population. We don’t need to wait for the government to change what we can.

Between

#WeMask
#MillionsMaskMovement
#COVIDSafe
#BringBackMasks
#HighRiskCovid19

we’ve reached the point where we can unite & elevate.

Reply if you want to be part of this.

Another update! The site now also has an app.

Working on a free signup form next, then a polite way to notify everyone who was interested 😊

@noyovo I am not coping. I’m just dying slowly. The Covid brought back by cancer which escalates due to infection.

That’s how I found out people will wear a cute bracelet for #cancer but not a mask to Literally save my life

. I have Long COVID so I can’t work while I have a very expensive disease. & I’m immunocompromised.

Forgive my soliloquy.

I’m not coping. No one asks.

Treatment costs a fortune.

Like this is how you know capitalism is just money racism, and classist as fuck.

Legalizing weed would make it harder for minors to get (like alcohol). So many ways it could boost the economy.

“But because cannabis businesses are not federally legal, they are subject to a federal tax code that prohibits narcotics traffickers from taking typical tax exemptions for business expenses like salaries and benefits. “

And expunging the records of people convicted under this so-called crime is an abolition stepping stone

They should have done this while the country was locked down so we could exit a stricter lockdown into prosperity and less disease, despite the government bailing ALL citizens ALL the way out like they should have.

But no. Can’t do the right thing if it means you have to run the country properly. All they had to do was vote for a white woman. Ugh

““IN HER NEW personal history of the internet, Lurking, Joanne McNeil argues that the mess Big Tech is in is largely due to its insistence on designing and making for users rather than for people.

The problem is especially conspicuous with Black people.

Computational narratives of existence, where metrics and nebulous data lead to monetization, don’t fit Black experiences.”
