About

Like many of you, I was isolated from the life I’d known before COVID, but I just knew that there had to be other people like me out there. Even when I’d occasionally find them, there wasn’t much for us to do but sit outside, braving the elements, grieving for our previous lives. Often all we had in common was our shared risk aversion to COVID. As the world began to drop precautions, I had fewer people, places and providers I could rely on as “safe”.

I started the Still COVIDing Portland group so people like me could find one another. I began speaking on Tiktok and reddit as an extension of my work as a vaccine fairy. In 2023, I started throwing COVID safe events, starting with a showing of Barbie and a camping weekend. Now, we have events for COVID conscious people all the time: routine events like movies and spa nights, and big events that much of the community can attend once a month. There is no profit involved in any event that I organize, I simply pass along the costs from the venue. I do this because I want to attend these events, and because, simply, I can.

Our Facebook group has affinity groups for all kinds of interests like gaming and hiking that focus on routine, safe, in-person get togethers. Members refer each other to COVID safe medical practitioners, service providers, and businesses. They ask for and receive support on how to move through life while practicing risk mitigation.

For 2025 and beyond, we are solidly focused on how to live our best lives as we still experience a pandemic. How to form real lasting relationships and community, and how to enjoy the activities we used to, in safe ways. This site hopes to be a repository of local resources and a place to purchase event tickets. I will continue to build out this site over time with more resources to make Portland a city where you can live a whole life while still being COVID conscious.
