Chasing Pavements

Chasing Pavements https://ift.tt/fWcJOB2 by WearAMask Henry loved him since the moment he first saw him at the Conference First Night party. Here's his story.   I was inspired for this by the Cornetto scene, how truly dejected he looked to overhear Alex say those things about him. I knew I had to write it when I put two and two together that he loves New Years, he just doesn't like to celebrate it because he doesn't get his kiss at midnight.

I’ve been screaming this for weeks since my doctor told me it. Paxlovid is the only line of defense against the new COVID variants. Anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and denialists have helped us be one variant away from us being back to “no treatments.” #covidisntover #wearamask https://www.instagram.com/p/CoARmirJhQD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lessons from the Pandemic

The pandemic is teaching us many lessons, the biggest lesson being, it's important we work together and support each other.

Personally, I have learned many things. Initially when we heard about the pandemic and there was talk about us catching the virus, government scientists talked about a pre-condition and those people being more susceptible to catching the virus.

Months in and it was becoming clear, that we're all vulnerable, and we can all catch Covid, but those with a pre-condition would be worse off if they caught the virus and worst case scenario, they might die. Having a pre-condition myself, I am hoping I never have to put that to the test.

The Covid vaccine does protect, but it's not protecting enough, and the protection it has reduces over time and you can still catch and spread Covid. It is the reason the booster was first introduced. Due to the issues with the first vaccine, there is now a second vaccine, but the UK isn’t stocking it currently. Eligibility for the new vaccine is for the 18/50′s so not everyone is eligible. According to the media, the government placed an order, but cancelled it.

If the new vaccine doesn’t come into circulation in the UK, people shall have to rely on the current vaccines, which aren't protecting enough. For those people who are immunocompromised, taking the vaccine means they may only have around 40% protection, which again, will significantly reduce.

There are many people like me, who fall into the being vulnerable and high-risk category and yet nothing has been said about how the vaccine fits for us. Initially, the government were prioritising the vulnerable and high-risk to take the vaccine, vaccinated first for a vaccine they don't know really know if it fits well enough.

Now with lifting precautionary measures, I am personally struggling with being given little choice as to how I live my life, with a government that simply doesn't care. My old life doesn't exist. With lifting restrictions everyone is now at risk, whether you have been vaccinated or not.

If I do want to get back into my life, I would have to ignore the fact there is a virus out there and potentially risk catching the virus. As a result I am now four-walled. When I do manage to go out, I have to wear full PPE in public enclosed spaces.

I couldn't guarantee my survival and if I did, I would potentially have to be hospitalised. When I am able to go out, I mask and visor up. I cannot go to pubs, coffee shops, restaurants or the theatre.

Fancy joining the conversation? Let us know if you are high risk or vulnerable, how you are ‘surviving’ in the pandemic? Have you struggled, are you still struggling, have you caught Covid, have you come through Covid okay, or have you been seriously affected?

We would love to hear from you, please let us hear your stories.

People who are STILL wearing masks under your nose in the year of our Lord 2023: what is your deal? What is going on with you? No-one has been making you wear a mask for a long time. You can just take it off! I must study you in the lab, you bizarre specimens

Preventing close contacts is crucial in mitigating the spread of COVID-19. Maintain physical distance, wear masks, and follow hygiene practices to stay safe.

Protect the Living

Life is unpredictable, and the future is uncertain. None of us know what lies ahead, which is why it's important to be prepared for anything. As a responsible adult, it's your duty to take care of your loved ones and protect them from any unforeseen events. And one of the best ways to do this is by getting a life insurance policy.

As the famous philosopher, Benjamin Franklin, once said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." While we may not like to think about it, death is an inevitability. And if you were to pass away unexpectedly, what would happen to your family? Would they be able to pay the bills and maintain their quality of life?

This is where life insurance comes in. By getting a life insurance policy, you can ensure that your loved ones are taken care of financially in the event of your untimely death. As the great author, Oscar Wilde, once said, "To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness." Don't leave your family's financial future to chance - get a life insurance policy today.

But why do you need life insurance? The answer is simple: for peace of mind. As the famous actress, Elizabeth Banks, once said, "I think the sexiest thing on anybody is intelligence. I respect somebody who has a brain and wants to use it more than a pretty face and status." And intelligence means being proactive and taking steps to secure your family's future. With life insurance, you can rest easy knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of no matter what happens.

In addition to peace of mind, life insurance can also provide financial security for your family. As the famous entrepreneur, Warren Buffett, once said, "Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." By getting a life insurance policy, you are planting a tree for your family's financial future. Whether it's paying for your children's education or covering the mortgage, life insurance can provide the funds your family needs to maintain their standard of living.

In conclusion, life insurance is an essential tool for protecting your family's financial future. As the famous writer, Maya Angelou, once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Don't leave your loved ones feeling vulnerable and uncertain - get a life insurance policy today and give them the peace of mind they deserve.

Some important tweets /⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ CN / Abuse, DV, M*rder. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ID Slide 1 / People have pathologized my stance on pandemic precautions by dismissing it as an inability to cope with change but I would just like to say that I am actually doing great at adjusting to the objectively different reality we are living in now. It's everyone else that cannot deal. @/PxnziSchemes on Twitter⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ID Slide 2 / I spent my twenties being told that I had to put up with toxic, abusive situations to get ahead and be successful and I'm spending my thirties being like, "oh so you're abusive??

When people are unable to think they unfortunately rely, knowingly or unknowingly, on others, usually those in power, to think for them. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Relying on other people as thought leaders isn't terrible if the people you rely on genuinely care about the most vulnerable people in our society.⁣⁣ However, most of us rely on people whose goal is not that we be cared for, but that we continue to work, buy and dislike ourselves. @Nellie_Scales⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ID Slide 5 / Only believing abuse allegations if there's a conviction in a court of law means you don't believe victims, period. More than 90 out of 100 victims will never be affirmed in court.

#TeamPixel I'm combining my pre-sunrise mental health walks with photography exercises. Today, i came across this man working on his bike and asked if i could take his photo. He said, "As long as it doesn't end up on America's Most Wanted, that's fine." So, uh, don't use this on TV please. There was a quiet simple dignity in his just minding his own business sitting on this bench on a fishing platform of a jetty first thing in the morning that made me want to capture the moment in black & white. . This morning i went to the end of the Marvin Braude Bike Path on the jetty between Marina del Rey and Ballona Creek to see what I could see. I explored the creek, the bridge, walked out along the jetty past multiple fishing platforms and over many little bridges all the way to the end where there was a don't walk sign. Took photos in all directions of many things, and this was one of the last shots I got before getting in my car and going to work. . If you need help doing something like protecting queer lives & rights or protesting book banning, guns, or cops, try using @resistbot to tell your representatives how you feel about one issue. And later maybe another. And so on. If you go out to vote or protest in person, please #WearAMask. . I'm lucky enough to be comfortable but I'm still poor and could use help saving for a new car.
