#12DaysOfMasks for @togetherwemask.bsky.social A photo taken before the snow fell. I take my brain health seriously, so wearing a mask to prevent repeat Covid infections is as important as my silly helmet.

On the 2nd Day of Masking my true love gave to me…2 latex gloves! One of the mitigations from the early pandemic days has stuck around and that’s using masks at times when washing our hands is not an option. A different mitigation for the #12DaysOfMasks challenge from @togetherwemask.bsky.social

Who is that sleepy monster masking up for the #12DaysOfMasks photo challenge from @togetherwemask.bsky.social ? It’s your favorite #SadSack on #Day1

On the 1st Day of Masking my True Love gave to me…a Mask Box under the tree. Join @togetherwemask.bsky.social & me for #12DaysOfMasks to show people that you are #OneOfTheTwo that still takes Covid mitigations seriously!

Day Two of the #TwelveDaysOfMasks is the last day of Christmas, so I'm taking my last opportunity to dress for the season. @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social

Whether I'm in tight spaces with poor ventilation, or large spaces crammed with people - my respirator mask helps keep me from breathing in the "yuck" around me. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social

Damn. Here’s the Gizmodo story: gizmodo.com/covid-19-is-... And the study in question: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Love to see various accoutrement on respirators!

Failing to anticipate people would use your image generation bot to make consentless-pornography should be criminal incompetence. Failing to include safeguards against it should be criminal negligence. Failing to shut it down once (a) and (b) became obvious should be criminal distribution.

It’s 2026 and we’re still waiting for Jon Stewart to apologize. Is it time to get my slapping gloves?

I gladly accept the challenge from Kasia Kowalczyk @sadsackolympian.bsky.social Here’s my first day of #12DaysOfMasks for #MaskTogetherAmerica Inviting @drjudystone.bsky.social @Michael-Hoerger.bsky.social @luckytran.com and everyone at @wemaskcolorado.bsky.social to participate!

Kasia @sadsackolympian.bsky.social invites you to take part in #12DaysOfMasks challenge starting Jan 5. “Not all people are able to wear a respirator (like newborns), so it’s incredibly important that the rest of us keep public spaces safe for them. Tag #MaskTogetherAmerica or me & add the hashtag.”

I wonder how much illness will be too much before people start to wear proper masks…

I know most people do not care about viral threats to humans or animals, but in Greece a virus has killed nearly 500,000 sheep and goats imperiling the supply of feta cheese, so even if people do not care about humans or animals perhaps they’ll care about viral threats to cheese.

If everyone wore n95 respirators at conventions, there'd be basically no such thing as "con crud". Remember this when you're recovering from Covid or "Some Kind Of Bad Flu... Not Covid™️ Though" after MFF. sph.umd.edu/news/study-s...

Not loving how many people out there think some people “deserve food” while others…don’t?

COVID vs Flu (New York data) New York State Health Commissioner reports: 🔹Nearly 3,000 COVID deaths in 2024 🔹Roughly 700 flu deaths (2024) That’s about 3× more COVID deaths than flu. Source: x.com/PrognosticCh...

What Doesn't Kill You Mutates And Tries Again. #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #CleanAir #MaskUp😷

Absolutely wrecked with grief at these two losses. @leslieleeiii.bsky.social’s Long Covid journey has mirrored my own and for the same length of time. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social has been a beacon of light, joy, hope, and inspiration for so many of us. She will be deeply missed by her community.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles. Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

So glad the people who cared about Alice Wong are posting photos of themselves masked in solidarity, right? Right? Because we all know the way to help the marginalized individuals in our society is to slow the continued spread of COVID. time.com/6960765/alic...

If an airborne virus emerged that undeniably targeted people like you… would you wear a mask to protect yourself? Now try to find a group of people that don’t suffer negative effects of a lot of currently circulating viruses… Include time off work, loss of earnings, secondary infections,

So is now a good time to bring up wearing a mask and releasing real science DATA daily in the news?

“I’m honored to be your ancestor.” While I’m pretty sure Alice Wong will be haunting a few people, I hope her fierce soul rests peacefully. What a loss for the human world.

Glad I got to become disabled in a world that already had Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social in it. I learned so much from her incredible writing & activism. May her memory be a blessing, & may we all continue her work. Easiest way to do it? WEAR A MASK. Protect yourself & the vulnerable around you.

Embarrassing that Minnesota, home of the Mayo Clinic, is not part of this alliance. I guess tracking the pandemic and things like H5N1 might cut into their profit…

They’ll say anything but Covid…

“Between 2019 and 2024, for example, the number of doctor visits related to memory problems more than doubled, from 41,722 doctor visits to 98,910 doctor visits in 2024. Among children aged 5-14, visits had nearly tripled.” Ever noticed how these increases are always since 2019?

What happened to the “My Body, My Choice” crowd? Why limit access to vaccines? If you don’t want a booster, don’t get it. Less than 25% of Americans were even getting boosted last year! Just let the people get the booster if they want it!

What’s it gonna take? The system needs a reboot and the best way is to push the off button! #GeneralStrike #NationalStrike

The reporting on this is atrocious. ICE agents committed a hit & run this week. And the news are saying this protestor “tripped”?! #GTFO #LA ktla.com/news/califor...

It’s really time for y’all to #WearAMask

arguing against birthright citizenship in front of the supreme court while at the same time pitching a netflix show where immigrants compete for citizenship is such a perfect microcosm of america right now that it feels fake

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.

oh no you guys, not the robots

Flood Google with this: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico. 2. it says Gulf of America 3. Click three little dots to the right of it 4. hit "Send Feedback" 5. hit "Gulf Of America" 6. hit "Inaccurate content" 7. hit "Incorrect," then tell them its name: ‘This body of water is the Gulf of Mexico’

Migraine is more than a headache — a broad phenomenon that originates in the brain & can manifest in many debilitating symptoms, including light sensitivities & aura, brain fog & fatigue. A radical rethink of the condition offers hope to one billion people 🧪 #MedSky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I made a reddit post with the info from my two instagram posts on rewearing N95s. I like having the info from both posts together and it might be easier to look through in this format :). let's stop spreading the myth than N95s are super protective for 40 hours! www.reddit.com/r/Masks4All/...

Even Canada has the ick when it comes to American food. Way to go America. Just keep pretending #H5N1 is not a problem…I’m sure it will take care of itself.🫠

Pre-pandemic, we didn’t have this many near-misses, collisions, or plane crashes. When y’all are ready to admit what chronic brain damage does to visuospatial skills & executive function, I’ll be here—pointing at the warnings I gave YEARS ago… But go ahead, keep pretending it’s all ‘coincidence.’

The cactus is always surrounded by pricks.

Why Preserving Your So-Called “Mental Health” by Going to Concerts, Flying, and Eating in Restaurants During an Airborne Pandemic Should Always Be Prioritized Over Your Long Term Physical Health

I mean, didn’t Trump run for the sole purpose of eluding jail?

So none of this is good news. #Cats #BirdFlu #LosAngeles #California
