BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Stop the Stigma of Chronic Illness
by sharing your story.

I was greatly affected first 2 years of Long Covid & most was self-inflicted because I grew up with:
“They” should try harder
“They” are faking
“They” are milking the system.

“They” is me.

And no, I’m not.
Disability can happen to anyone.

Belgium will recognize a Palestinian state at this month’s UN General Assembly, the country’s foreign minister announced on Tuesday. The recognition, which was conditioned on the release of hostages by Hamas, follows similar moves by other countries as they try to push Israel to end the war in Gaza.

I called my local CVS this morning to book my #COVID vaccine and #Flu vaccine shots. I was simply asked if I qualify and answered yes. No further details or prescription was requested. My appointment is made.
The shots will be available in the pharmacy September 4th.

Updates on the pharmacy vaccine situation today: CVS is now requiring a prescription in 13 states and not offering shots at all in three others; Walgreens appears to be requiring prescriptions in 16 states, but not all the same ones as CVS. The lists of states are in the article. Gift link:

Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals:

No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion.

It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports.

If it is, it’s not compassion.

It’s eugenics 🧵
