If you’re still wearing a mask… thank you. Thank you for recognizing that disabled people aren’t expendable. Thank you for showing solidarity with us. Thank you for caring about your health & the health of those around you. It’s a powerful act of community care & it’s never too late to start!

Also integrating N95 masks into your daily practice when around others. That’s a fantastic first-line measure (which can be performed every day and doesn’t lose effectiveness over time) against infecting the vulnerable.

I will not deny it: it is a lonely thing (it is a very lonely thing) to continue taking precautions after your coworkers and family and friends have abandoned taking them, but in such moments I remind myself that it is better to feel lonely than to have this virus for company.

Getting a vaccination isn't just about reducing your chance of getting an infection. It' s more importantly about reducing the chance of you spreading that infection to someone else for whom it could be more serious. Think about others, not just yourself.

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.

for the love of fucking christ get your pets vaccinated, rabies may be one of the shittiest ways of dying you can possibly imagine

I will die on this hill: it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.

Why ARE cartoons so SERIOUS? - One of the many questions posed in my new book, SUPER EGO. Now LIVE on Kickstarter. Get yours here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jas... #thejoker #joker #batman #comics #cartoonist #comicbooks #kickstartercomics

To summarize -waves are not seasonal -vaccines are waning -people are getting long covid -it’s still not an endemic disease -very young kids are at increased risk because they didn’t go through the initial vaccine series Oh and it turns out, Covid Cautious people have been right the whole time.

Two things had a huge influence on the CDC shooting: 1️⃣ The head of HHS spreading antivax rhetoric 2️⃣ Social media companies failing to address rampant antivax misinformation on their platforms

4 years ago today I brought Holiday home 🩵

Got your #WicDiv covers Kickstarter reward? Have we got the show for you! Check out The Wicked + The Divine UnCovered podcast from IRCB - new episodes monthly! www.patreon.com/collection/1...

When your baby is sick and just wants to be held but he weighs 1200 pounds so he has to settle for leaning his head on your shoulder 🤒

You do not have to keep getting sick, and you definitely cannot keep being a vector that sickens, disables, and kills others. It is anti-progressive, anti-humanist behavior to keep ignoring a disease that, as you all say, isn’t going anywhere. It’s time to adapt. Or…well, you know the rest.

OUT TODAY: Wic+Div Uncovered with Kara and Tia #2 Kara and Tia are back to discuss the covers of issues #2-5 of The Wicked + The Divine! Have you gotten your Wic+Div cover collection yet?? ircbpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/wic...

Sovereignty beating Journalism is too on the nose for this timeline.

Well we’re having a pretty good week so far. We won the .70 cm optimum time card Thursday, the .80 cm amateur jump-off card yesterday, and taking a much deserved break today to wander the trails and relax before the .80 cm classic tomorrow. So very proud of and grateful for this boy 💙🥇🐎

i don’t have any skills and can’t really contribute to the commune. feel free to kill me

Val Kilmer died, and his NYT obituary failed to mention his most iconic role. RIP.

You show up for the date but she’s just several ravens standing inside a ring of eldritch runes

So again, saying things like “now that it’s back to normal” or “since COVID ended” are not only inaccurate, they’re doing very material harm to people still grappling with the ongoing pandemic every day. If you want others to respect your pain and experience, it’s important to also respect theirs.

There’s nothing wrong with talking about the hardships you experienced in 2020. But it is appreciated if you also recognize that these hardships are not over for people with Long Covid, high risk people, or those who must avoid illness for economic or personal reasons.

Since the start of COVID, the number of people reporting a disability soared. Yet the majority of the world acts like COVID is over, and Long COVID doesn't exist.

With an anti-science conspiracy theorist leading the US Department of Health and Human Services, preventative action is critical to protecting your health and the health of your community. A good place to start would be getting back into the practice of regularly wearing a mask.

Save money this Valentine's Day by being unlovable

Here is a list of some small daily things you can do to be more active and supportive of your local community, if you are able. They’re not inherently political but they can make an impact. Feel free to add on:

My favorite part of the fall of the Roman Empire is all the bizarre mystery cults that popped up. Can’t wait for that part here. Christianity doesn’t count, it was one of the Roman mystery cults, but I believe in us to get creative

You know you want to see what they came up with for my greatest contribution to the comics lexicon: Skin Cape

“I would punch a N*zi.” Um, you won’t even wear a mask.

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

If you are wondering how so many people can just ignore the suffering of others, remember: at this point in the pandemic they have had plenty of practice.

It’s okay to be rude to people who want you to die

Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.

First they came for the fat, whiny losers, and I said nothing, because they got me immediately. I was like the first person they got.
