Ok clarification: it is not reusable. But if you aren’t in need of masks right now, a heads up that Wellbefore is dropping some new patterns soon. I don’t know when exactly but it is incoming! In case you want to save this code for when that happens. 🙂‍↕️ I’ll let you all know

I’m excited to share that you can now shop 10% off on Wellbefore with my code JULIE10, and I get a lil commission too. Wellbefore is my favorite mask brand and I’ve been hoping to get people a reusable discount since I talk about them so much!! wellbefore.com/JULIE10

My anesthesiologist for my surgery today walked in and was like “ooh, do you have a cold?” And I was like “no, just trying to stay safe from anything.” And she asked if I was immunocompromised and I was like “I got pots from covid so-“ and she goes “oh I have pots too! I had

Just checking my understanding: is the reason that at the onset of a covid infection you can test negative on a RAT but still infect people because the viral load needed to infect a person is much lower than the viral load needed to be detectable on a rapid?

Ah. What a time to be home in Minnesota where the air quality is the 4th worst in the world due to Canadian wildfires. 😷👍🏼

I have to have a surgical procedure done in a few weeks and have to go under. Anyone have luck with getting surgical teams to wear respirators? I have a feeling it’ll be complicated with their protocols in wearing surgicals. Any insight/advice other than being persistent?

In the waiting room for an appointment that is making me SO goddamn anxious I feel like my heart is gonna jump out of my chest and it’s a million degrees outside and in here pray for me

This new variant and surge taking off is the perfect time to gather about 20 people from all across the country, fly them in while none of them take precautions (maybe a couple mask on planes?), and spend 3 days together next week! Work retreat 🤝🏻 Anxiety

Anti-illness gods, please give us accessible Novavax and now. Thank you. 🧘🏻‍♀️🙏🏼🧎🏻‍♀️✨

Made a TikTok about the latest covid variant and incoming surge and it’s taking off and there are SO many comments saying “not again” “can’t do this again” “last time covid gave me x and this time blah blah blah” and I simultaneously want to scream and pounce on this opportunity

Is it burnout, a newfound depression, fatigue from chronic illness, or the general state of the world that has me feeling totally incapable of being social and present and holding conversations when I’m around other people. The world may never know.

One year since my pots diagnosis. Still salty as hell about it.

I really need researchers to get on it when it comes to determining if pots is an autoimmune thing or not and the link between pots, high platelets, and maybe chronic inflammation because these health issues I’ve been having cannot be solved with fucking kale and nuts

I don’t support all Latina women one of you bitches is Valentina Gomez

Yeah no I love hearing somebody hack up a wet lung at cvs and everyone looking around disgusted and unmasked until their eyes meet mine - the only one in a damn mask lol

Sometimes I’m like “this is it. I have covid for sure. This is the end!” And then it turns out I just was like 7 minutes too late to eat something before my body started freaking out

You ever get more than one kind of fruit from the grocery store and then feel rich

These are the kinds of messages we are receiving from our friends in Gaza. Each night is scarier than the last and I am holding out hope that not one of them will be lost. Please give to any of the campaigns in my linktree: linktr.ee/hoolier

My dad is so precious making his own little graphics for his Facebook.

That LA air* is going to hit different after today’s oligarchy tour and once the people get back from Coachella *airborne virus air 💫

Pots is so cool cause I’ll be like “I wanna write and play music again” and it’ll be like “haha.. SINGING? PLAYING GUITAR OR PIANO??? IN THIS ECONOMY??” And then I’ll have to lay down after

Most people: “what a beautiful week!” My POTS ass: “🕯️🧘🏻‍♀️🕯️🙏🏼come to me, 60°”

Meanwhile, as my partner tries to source fabric for his livelihood..

They should invent a bandaid for when you get your blood drawn that doesn’t rip your skin off when you take it off

Another annual physical another case of white coat hypertension

Uh… no

Really disheartening and unsurprising seeing a bunch of school districts I work with at my job start to diminish their equity and justice statements. One district that primarily serves students with various disabilities just last year was steadfast in their equity language for an

Are there any news podcasts that aren’t just liberal white dudes with a mic? A leftist lens that won’t scare a liberal, but won’t be Occupy Democrats type shit, that delivers the latest political news?

I haven’t written a song in a really, really long time. But I did today. And it did the thing where it just blurts out and writes itself. And it felt really good. And I’m excited to polish it and share it at some point.

I just tried a Pilates workout (YouTube) for the first time. What the fuck.

The bombing has returned to north Gaza. Please keep everyone in your thoughts, and give to the campaigns on my linktree: linktr.ee/hoolier

If you eat yogurt without granola you are god’s strongest soldier

I started my Saturday with Etta James radio on Spotify through my good speakers and fresh flaky pastries from a local spot. Never kill yourself.

I actually hate framing covid precautions as a part of my identity rather than something that I do. I say “covid realist” to provide context but I hate this concept. I’m not “car cautious” cause I wear a seatbelt. It’s just a thing I do.

Pots is so fun because when you push a little harder in your exercise, it either rewards you by easing your pots symptoms and giving you a great run of however many days, or it makes you feel all the blood in your body the next day and gives you a headache and air hunger standing

Finding out that after over a year having a Fitbit, my birth year from my Google account was set to 1901 so all of my workout data was for a woman who should be dead. I corrected it and now reaching my previous cardio targets is impossible even with pots.

Years of cooking with tofu only for me to not find out until very recently that Super Firm Tofu exists. All this time I thought Extra Firm was the limit. I feel like the world has been harboring this knowledge from me. Game. Changer. All my recipes require tofu of this firmness.

CNN saying Israel halting humanitarian aid into Gaza after “Hamas refused to extend ceasefire” go kys.

I love people who love their birthdays. They’re so cute. Just like me fr.

I mean, fuck, I like masks, I like clean air, I like not getting sick, I like tests, I like to care, I like centering disability cause I know I should, I like doin ‘vid realist shit, and you know you could.

An email my coworker got from a client. Just a casual little tuberculosis thing that should clear up.

They were just the frozen kind but I had soup dumplings for lunch with chili crisp on top. Never kill yourself.

What is it in whipped cream that makes me go feral

Whoever said masks ruin an outfit just didn’t try hard enough

While on a meeting today with my coworker, she got a text from a friend that her friend’s elementary school-age son had a stroke. He’s doing okay and is expected to make a full recovery. Another day another example of the “new normal.”

Listened to music today that I used to listen to in high school that I don’t usually still listen to, and it did put me in a better mood. I was ON that indie train.

I’m in desperate need of more nature and maybe I’m doing LA wrong but living in LA it feels impossible to get to the nature because it takes forever to get out of the city for the good stuff and then you spend so long in the city and it swallows you up and you just get stuck

I just want eggs, man. I’m sick of alternating between bagels, oatmeal, and yogurt and granola for breakfast. I want a hearty savory omelette.

Will a well-fitting mask, portable air purifier, and the use of nasal spray and CPC mouthwash prevent my partner from getting COVID from the absolute fuck of a boss who came in positive and bragging about the line just being faint on her test? Find out within the week! 😃

She fucking came back to work today unmasked and told everyone she “just had a faint line” and proceeded to interact face to face with a bunch of people and cough all over the place. I feel like we’re gonna get covid from this shit.
