YES THAT'S WHAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS AND THATS WHY WE DON'T USE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

If you would like to be in the slightest bit an ally, at the very least, when you see someone else masking, in a store, at the doctors, put one on yourself. Let that person know by your action that you have not abandoned them and they are not alone. Because they could be living on rice and yeast.

Next time you are tempted to say “back during covid” please understand that I didn’t get sick until after Biden declared the pandemic over, and there are millions struggling to get safe access to care because of this idea. It’s not over. People are getting sick today who will get as sick as I am.

Part of the continued problem with denialism is it makes people who are already suffering the effects suffer even more. I should not have to beg to be protected from infection in a health care facility, especially during flu season!

Which is why I’m really writing this. I am malnourished and running out of food because of this stupid illness, and the covid is over delusions are so strong, my DOCTOR can’t understand why I’d want to avoid infection. Why should this even be a question? Why don’t they have protocols in place?

It presents another complication in that I have to have my mask off indoors during this, and the doctor’s office, who knows I have this because of long covid, was baffled when I asked for additional precautions. They’ve reluctantly agreed to mask and let me bring in a portable HEPA, but still.

The foods I have left are minimally nutritious- rice, lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, olive oil, nutritional yeast, and sweet potatoes - and it’s starting to show. In the last month, it’s accelerated rapidly, taking corn, beans, chocolate, and cauliflower/broccoli. I’m getting weaker and exhausted.

Are we ready for a grim long Covid update? I try not to give these too often, but we may be approaching a cliff. About a year ago, I developed a weird mouth itching reaction to some foods. It was just a couple at first, now it’s all but five or six foods. Doctors, so far, can’t figure it out.

One of the safest, easiest, and most effective ways you can push back against fascism and safeguard your community is to wear a well-fitted respirator mask (N95 or equivalent) whenever you share indoor air with people outside your household AND outdoors when it's crowded.

Thrilled to see ordinary people stepping up to protect their neighbours from ICE 🎉 Now I just wish ordinary people would step up to protect their neighbours from covid 😷

The large majority of COVID deaths are attributable to specific clear instances of negligence on the part of medical leaders, made directly against the advice of the world's top scientific experts, and on the basis of an understanding of science that was out of date by nearly a century.

The way Hangman looked at Kenny last night made me feel the most I’ve felt watching AEW in a long time, outside of anything w/Jon Moxley

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: our punk and drag shows have more covid mitigation than disease foundation summits and physicians conferences. Why can we do what people whose careers supposedly depend on the knowledge—with far more resources— can’t? #WeKeepUsSafe

"They want an excuse to fire on protesters." "They're looking for a reason to declare martial law. Don't..." Ah. See, they're already doing and saying whatever they want. They're putting people in camps and murdering people at will. Our behavior doesn't drive theirs.

Felt like I just lived a whole lifetime watching Kenny Omega’s deep discomfort walking to the ring at Tana’s retirement

when even those supposedly on the left are participating in a taboo, you must ask: who does it serve? & thus, how does my complicity contribute? how does this system, these power structures align with my values? what would it mean to make a different choice? to mask up even when it is not required?

I am very tired of claims that maskers or covid cautious people are all just antisocial weirdos who wanted an excuse to hide forever. Many of us had active, full social lives that we would still have - if you would agree to help make the environment safe. You won’t, so we’re trapped.

Viruses do not appear spontaneously in the air. They are breathed out by an infected person. It is not abstract, it is concrete. Every high risk person who gets severely ill or dies does so because someone sick did not avoid infecting them.It is not logical to put that burden entirely on the victim.

Good article by Julia, but I would add, don’t just let us be, HELP. Wear a mask in places where high risk people have to be, so you aren’t *contributing* to their risk. This is ground zero of a you’re either helping or hurting situation.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

Pay up TK

Well that was a fleeting sense of appreciation and possibility

Jon Moxley the one person left who can make me feel the kinds of feelings I felt for this company in 2022

Fuck YES MOX

Really good Stat v Jamie match. Feel like every match on this run, I see a little more character confidence and effective emoting from Stat in ring.

Now THAT was a match; Mox and Fletcher both killed it

Yeah, I have ADHD: Ass Dumptruck Hot Disorder

If that belt goes on MJF tonight Tony Khan’s gonna hafta book in-ring sexual activity btwn Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega w/pre-recorded Renee commentary for me to not just catch Stat and Jamie’s matches and call it a day w/this company for a bit tbh

i know most people don't want to think about this, but it only helps you to mask whenever and wherever you can. Try doing it for medical appointments or when you go grocery shopping. If you can commit to masking in at least one public setting regularly, you increase health for you and everyone else.

Just watched the Chihiro Hashimoto vs. Mika Iwata match from Sept. and holy shit, MOTY contender

I cannot wait for the Progressive Wrestling Company™️ to stop using SA for jabs Jesus Christ

Pls god let Vince Staples host Family Feud when Steve Harvey retires

Had a dream I was a teen lawyer in a small town wearing the wrong shoes

If you stopped wearing masks, you can start again anytime! At *least* while you’re traveling! Don’t ruin your holidays with covid or flu.

Helping a baby in the Holy Land seems like a good thing to do this season ❤️

Jean Wilson Brutus, a 41-year-old Haitian man, died just ONE day after entering ICE custody at Delaney Hall in Newark. His death demands immediate transparency and accountability. Human lives matter, regardless of immigration status.

think the epstein conversation’d be more bearable as a survivor if i thought more people talking about it nonstop were committed to the kind of radical politics that might one day lead to a just society for us but it’s mostly libs using it to dunk on big cheeto the same way they’d use elonia stuff

Ok who in pro wrestling is watching Heated Rivalry

good that people are leaving X, but when your framing is “the fascist site vs. bsky” I’m like are we on the same site? the one where site owners bully people who point out how quickly Black and trans people get banned? Very vote blue no matter who brained tbh

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmed. Ahmed owned a small shop before this and was just starting his life. He’s trying to take care of his parents and his brother Abood. His father has pulmonary fibrosis- they are fundraising to get a solar panel for his oxygen machine.

Benoit Blanc and Philomena Cunk independently investigate the same murder and come to the same correct conclusion for vastly different reasons

y’all my friend really needs help here! this was supposed to be a life changing opportunity but these employers are playing with people’s lives!!! PLEASE HELP ADRIAN, he’s been through so much we’d need to write a book to actually tell it all. chuffed.org/project/1209...

Wearing a well-fitted respirator mask to protect yourself & others is a radical act in a time when too many people in power want you to shut up, get back to work, & be a good little consumer instead of worrying about the health and wellbeing of ordinary people including you, your family,& friends
