Long Covid research funding and grants terminated by Trump regime. They’ve declared them a “waste of time” because the pandemic is over:

“HHS is prioritizing funding projects that will deliver on President Trump’s mandate to address our chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again.”

400 million people have Long COVID. They’re suffering in silence with little hope of treatment and/or cures.

If HHS and Trump were actually interested in addressing the chronic disease epidemic, they would care about long COVID. They would try and reduce the spread of COVID.

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please consider HOW they plan to do that.

We’ve seen zero evidence that they will actually help those with chronic illness.

Fascists target the disabled. The Nazis literally tested the gas chambers on us. We are almost always first.

Perhaps they’re ending the chronic illness epidemic by ending the chronically ill? Don’t provide research, care, funding or treatment and the problem “goes away”?

Get loud. Call your elected officials. Tell them Covid is not over.

After 6 weeks of my bloodwork labs coming back in concern/precarious territory… my biweekly results from yesterday FINALLY look promising!!!! Things are trending in the right direction.

I am SO relieved. :ablobcatheart:

We check again in 2 weeks, and if things are back to normal I might be able to start a new biologic for my RA around the beginning of May.

The clinic is letting me pay at a later date! Still in need of $160 to cover it all. Meds are taken care of for the time being, this will cover the rest of the appointment. Please help, I need to be able to continue treatment to stay alive and healthy and be able to work on my game.

In February I joined my annual Make-A-Thing-A-Day group that gathers on FB. I bought supplies and spent the month playing around with Zentangle tiles, neurographic art, and a new set of watercolor magic markers (which are the bomb!). All low energy and very manageable.

With the new meds and the progress I'm making, I hope to make it back to the pottery by summer, but until then, I'm having fun!

A very simple pen and ink drawing, almost a doodle, of unopen buds. The buds are in shades of yellow, orange, and red.
A simple zentangle of yellow lines intersecting with a gray lines forming a net pattern.

A zentangle tile with some typical zentangle patterns. In the middle, two swirls appear that painted in very bright colors of the rainbow that blend into each other.
