Over the past few months, I have become chronically ill with long covid and am no longer able to work at the job that I loved so much, where I felt like I was making a real difference. As my body got weaker and weaker, I had to fight with HR, but eventually was let go when I became too physically weak to work. I plan to devote more time towards my writing—journaling, a collaborative zine called Backbone, and now this blog. My writing projects always lean towards research and articles, so that is probably what I will try to focus on.
