I don’t usually post links to surveys - but Canadians with Long Covid and other chronic illnesses need your help!

If you have the energy and spoons to fill this out - we would so appreciate it.

It’s draft guidelines for treating Long Covid - and they’re going backwards. Ignoring all the current science and making harmful recommendations such as exercise in the acute phase (which actually increases your odds of Long Covid) and CBT for PEM (which doesn’t work)

This feels like an attempt to shift Long Covid patients into a “psychological” Bucket - which we know will harm them. There’s already dreadfully few treatments for those with Long Covid and/or ME/CFS… we have to ensure we don’t lose access to them!

Link here and the deadline is November 27th at 1145pm EST:

Oh my FUCKING GOD

I finished dumping 99.99% of a very old, damaged, backup CDROM that was previously unreadable. It took 3 days and I was super excited to find out what old data I put on it. The disc had UDF sessions, because that was common at the time for just Adding Files to non-rewritable media.

So I mount that shit in my Windows 98SE box, and lo and behold, this is all that was on it.

I would be absolutely upset if it wasn't so fucking funny
