#LongCovid has cost me everything ā my health, my home, my career, proximity to everyone I know and my ability to rebuild what was destroyed. Iāve been without income for over a year. This virus has taken my life ā without actually killing me.
2) Because SunLife wrongfully denied my long-term disability claim, I had to sell my new dream home to survive. My #LongCovid symptoms started only six months after moving in.
3) I say āwrongfullyā denied because Iām genuinely sick ā Iām not faking it, lying about it or making it up. Iām not lazy, unwilling to work, hoping to retire early or attempting to commit insurance fraud. I am completely debilitated by #LongCovid and incapable of working.

(Toxische) MƤnnlichkeit als Risiko fĆ¼r #Innovationen: am Beispiel des Rollkoffers āĀ Thread, weil muss.
Der Rollkoffer soll in den 1970ern erfunden worden sein. Durchsetzen konnte er sich lange nicht, was den āErfinderā verzweifeln lieĆ. Weil: "Koffer werden getragen. Punkt." 1/9

Und noch wichtiger: "*Richtige MƤnner* tragen die Koffer ihrer Frauen eh!ā Es war āunmƤnnlichā einen Koffer zu rollen. Und die Industrie einfach nahm an, Frauen wĆ¼rden nicht alleine reisen. (š¤Æ) Also keine Daseinsberechtigung fĆ¼r den Rollkoffer ā bis ein Pilot... 2/9

1/ Fragen die Niemand gestellt hat: Auf was fĆ¼r ner Segelyacht sitzt Herr Prof. Mertens von der StiKo wƤhrend er ein Interview gibt?
2/ Eine Spurensuche:
Wo sitzt er?
- Licht von der Seite, also Blickrichtung parallel zur Mittschiffslinie.
- A) Handlauf am Niedergang?
- B) Voltmeter am Sicherungspanel?
In der NƤhe des Niedergangs befinden sich normalerweise Kochecke und Kartentisch.

Das sieht weder nach 1970 (kein Messing) noch 2020 aus (kein Carbon).
Wobei das Beispiel aus aktueller deutscher Produktion gar nicht so anders aussieht. Auch hier ist der Kartentisch an Backbord (am linken Bildrand).

A while back, two or three summers ago. At an event called AfroFest. I recognized two guys wearing supremacists t-shirts thanks to a Facebook group that showcases the racism or bigotry in our city. I was SHOCKED!
Many of the people in the festivals, predominantly black had no idea they were scoping, taking pictures or videos. I felt helpless and didn't know what to do at that time. And it made me think. A lot of us don't know their banners or symbols.
Sometimes you see unrecognizable logos, or stickers on people's mug, shirt, flyers, the back of vehicles and you have NO IDEA of their meaning or who these groups are. It's all about being covert in their hate and racism.
#ImAware
Iām aware of my blackness,
Iām aware that it scares the fuck out of some people,
Iām aware that simply trying to dress comfortable transcends the perception of being a thug,
Iām aware that because of my skin Iām viewed as threatening,

A lot of people ask how we can justify being a nonprofit. How is building a border wall a charity case? We had to answer that for ourselves before we could even begin the process. We knew if donations weren't tax deductible there was no point in even starting to #FundTheWall.
A simple reading of the definition of a charity according to the IRS shows we have a solid basis: "erecting or maintaining public buildings, monuments, or works;", The wall is a public work. It doesn't say WE have to build it, just that the money has goes to it GETTING built.
We could go on a tangent here, about whether a "border SYSTEM" including ground sensing radar, microphone arrays, drones, etc. is a public work. We think it probably is. For right now, we'll focus on the wall and come back to the rest once the flow of money is moving.
