Child liberation, Long Covid, and Palestine

Sickos Podcast ·

2024/11/18

I’m back with my two most recent Your Sick Friend columns, originally published in The Montague Reporter. The first, from September, goes into the worrying prevalence of Long Covid in children. The second, written on the 381st day of the Zionist entity’s genocide of Palestinians, is about the importance of bearing witness to the horrors unfolding so that we may actually fight to stop them. Child liberation now! Free Palestine!
