This Long Covid Awareness Day let us remember the millions who've been disabled by the virus.

The people who've been forgotten and left behind.

The folks who have to hide their diagnosis because of the stigma attached to it.

You think you don't know anyone with Long Covid?

I promise, you do:

Long Covid Awareness Day 2026

It's 2026 and the Covid pandemic rages on despite many pretending it no longer exists. Today is a day to remind people of the disabling nature of the virus and how they can protect themselves.

I was a child at the time and don't remember this clearly. But it's wild to think the Americans with Disabilities Act only passed in 1990. Like, the last time high waist jeans were in fashion, FFS.

Now we've got eugenicists who want to undo all of this.

We must all take inspiration from those who fought for all forms of equality in the past.

March 12, 1990: Disability Rights Activists' "Capitol Crawl" for the ADA

Dozens of disabled Americans abandoned their mobility aids and climbed and crawled up the U.S. Capitol steps to raise awareness of threats to the proposed ADA. It worked.
