Personally if I had a massive platform that I built in part by branding myself as someone who picks apart scientific methodology I would not use it to undermine the work of disabled folks fighting for their lives + ignoring/misrepresenting the sources they cite. But then again, I'm not a grifter so

But I don't *wanna* start over on a new app.

An unmitigated pandemic is a fascist project that harms the most marginalized groups in society. If you’re able to mask and don’t, you are participating in that fascist project and are harming your most vulnerable community members. Uncomfortable with that? Good! Put on an n95. Access needs? ⬇️

Proceed with skepticism when you hear it said that around 1 in 29 people are carrying the virus for that estimate is already several days old and if you remember what many people did yesterday you should know that now it’s probably worse than around 1 in 29 people.

Finding it increasingly jarring that so much presumably realistic contemporary fiction these days takes place in an alternative universe in which the pandemic never happened

The government oversold the benefits of the vaccines so you'd go back to normal and do all the maskless stuff that stimulates the economy. Vaccines don't stop you from getting Covid/ Long Covid, and Covid is nothing like the flu. The only way to stay safe right now is to wear a mask (N95/KN95).

we have to never forget 3000 people died in one day but the over a million people who've died and are still dying every day of covid and the millions of kids at risk of long covid because half the country's penis hort at the thought of "being muzzled" can be memory holed ok ok ok very cool very cool

So many folks are sick again so I share this with love: you must rest. Rest won’t guarantee you don’t get long covid but it’s a huge mitigator. Even if you have an accute mild case. Even if you don’t feel it at all. Send this to your boss. Make your partner clean or use disposable dishes etc.

Toast and Carbon are excited to have another platform to be admired on

Everyone deserves access. Everyone deserves protection. Everyone deserves safety. Everyone deserves support. Everyone can help.
