Orange Is the New Black and How to Get Away With Murder star speaks about the disease and another way of looking at health
Already boosted this one elsewhere, but I just really really want to highlight this one statement from the article...
"He walks in the room and he starts putting the mask on. And he says, 'We’ll do this quickly before I suffocate.'"
"I think people don’t understand that. You’re asking, 'Hey, would you mind protecting my life?' When someone’s like, 'Oh God, what a pain in the ass,' experiences like that make you reticent to ask in the future."

“To feel like your health is free-falling in a world, a system, a country that does not value disabled people & does not value people without their labor has been clarifying to me on how I want to be able to show up for someone else.” https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-interactive/2024/dec/02/matt-mcgorry-long-covid

December 2, 2024- “.. never fully recovered” after two Covid infections.” “Long Covid has dramatically changed my life,” I was in denial about it, because I knew there’s no easy fix. I knew that if I did have long Covid, that I probably couldn’t afford to get it again, and if I couldn’t afford to get it again, then everything in my life would have to change. Breaking out of that denial was the first step.” - https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-interactive/2024/dec/02/matt-mcgorry-long-covid
