Hey Alaska, what has your experience been like with trying to get a new COVID vaccine so far? #Alaska #AlaskaSky

🦠An estimated 1 in 33 people are actively infectious with #COVID in #Alaska as the summer surge is ongoing. How many people do you interact with on a daily basis? How many could be sick? Protect yourself with masks & COVID tests - you can get them for free via the link in our bio. #AlaskaSky

We love our supporters! If you’ve donated masks or funds, here’s what your donations support. We look for the best deals on masks and tests, but shipping and other expenses still add up. Your support helps us put more masks and tests in the hands of people who need them. #AlaskaSky #MaskBloc

“When I wear a mask, I'm asserting that my physical health is worth protecting, as is the health of those around me. I'm asserting that I deserve clean air and safety when I step out into the world, and so does everyone else.”— Naomi @naomiekperigin.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DKUx08lOcP...

How’s your #volcanoprep going? My pup is all ready for any ashfall with her doggles and mask. #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #volcanoes #mtspurr #alaskasky

If you have a surplus of masks lying around or are buying masks to prepare for volcanic ash/smoke/respiratory disease, please consider donating a few to the bloc! We’ve had an increase in the # of requests recently, and we’d really appreciate your help getting masks to those who need them. #Alaska

Are you or the people around you getting sick more than usual? It might be Long COVID. Here’s a great zine on what long COVID is & what you can do. This would also be a handy resource to print and distribute if you’re looking to raise awareness in your community. ko-fi.com/i/II2I019TP7S #alaska

Mount Spurr has been showing signs of possible eruption. It is always a good idea to have high filtration masks (like N95s) available in case of disasters like a potential volcanic eruption. Air purifiers can also help with indoor air quality during such an event. #AlaskaSky #MaskUp #Alaska

Even after the smoke subsides, the physical and mental health impacts of wildfires can linger for years. 1/8 🧵 #wildfires
