it’s actually wild that, as far as i know, there’s nothing about anticovid activism on wikipedia. no mask blocs, no clean air clubs, very little mention of organized guerilla pro-social public health at all thus far.

Long Covid reduces your life span objectively, but also subjectively, in that monotonous years of unchanging illness, stripped of the engaging richness of well-bodied life, can pass terribly swiftly

Incorrect! The pandemic is being *treated* as if it’s over, and a lot of people don’t know what the word means.

“After a 2nd wave of what they believe is suppression of news coverage of their work, the disabled queer and trans artists behind the mutual aid fundraiser play ‘Wake Up and Smell the C*VID’ have published an open letter to actor + playwright Eric Bogosian and AMC.” www.thecanary.co/global/world...

"leftist" but you don't mask "disability advocate" but you don't mask "community care" but you don't mask "we keep us safe" but you don't mask "healthcare access for all" but you don't mask "do no harm" but you don't mask "liberation for all" but you don't mask

Mask up NOW “A new COVID variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has made landfall in the United States, and it's more transmissible than other variants.” www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo...

san diego! if you're interested in masked dance classes this summer, please reply/dm! cookin' up some fun stuff

There are many people, including children, that have been excluded from society because they are in a group that is known to be more at risk of serious outcomes from COVID-19. Instead of providing safer places and people to interact with, they are mocked and excluded further.

“Did you wear a mask before Covid?” Is not the gotcha people think it is. Covid changed things. We have a multi system vascular virus circulating at high levels year round. Covid taught us about airborne transmission & how effective respirators are. I wish I had worn them in the before times!

"Please join us for a volunteer appreciation lunch" Ok, but if you appreciated me, you'd realize that I haven't been doing indoor lunches for 5.5 years because we're still in an airborne pandemic & this risks my health?

listening to the new @jensenmcrae.bsky.social album for the first time on a flight to enhance the experience

We must normalize masks as a public health tool before it’s too late. If you care about social justice, disability rights, fighting fascism or your health… you should be wearing a mask. Ideally an N95 or better. The more of us wearing them, the harder they will be to ban.

If you’re not fighting against mask bans because you think they “only” apply to those committing crimes… consider the following: Who decides who’s committing a crime? The police. POC who mask will be disproportionately targeted. Who decides if your medical exemption is “good enough”? Police 🧵

Remote work empowers workers, is more accessible, is beneficial for the environment, and frees up urban space for housing. Right-wingers like Elon Musk want to re-assert control over workers, and they’re using pandemic culture wars to do it. My latest: www.thegauntlet.news/p/remote-wor...

luckily won the ethel cain presale war earlier. gonna go celebrate by lying down in the middle of an empty church and blasting sun bleached flies.

fyi, this is on their website

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!” I promise you that you do. Long Covid is an invisible illness. You won’t know someone is impacted unless they choose to tell you. Many folks hide their disabilities because the world is NOT kind to disabled people. Be an ally. Be someone we can confide in

The maskless #StandUpForScience crowds are my case in point. 🫠

It’s really hard for me as a disabled person to engage seriously with any of the calls to action around what’s happening bc of the very real trauma of being abandoned by the same people to fend for myself against the conditions that disabled me in the first place.

not seeing a ton of masking at stand up for SCIENCE... major side eye

When you mess with science, be prepared for a reaction! #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

I think about this headline all of the time.

These plague alarmists man...

gift article for anyone who’s seen this piece, by whatever title, go around. it’s just so boring that @nytimes.com would publish… this and not literally anything from @thesicktimes.bsky.social— they’re doing the job every day orders of magnitude better than wallace-wells was able to publish here.

“This is so mind-boggling to me. It just made it obvious that they [ @who.int ] were full of shit.”— @jljcolorado.bsky.social *YES* This is still online 💩💩: x.com/WHO/status/1... #COVIDisAirborne

got my ticket for your LA show! :) @jensenmcrae.bsky.social will you be implementing any covid/airborne illness mitigations for attendees?

Less than a month from the 5th anniversary of the encounter that would change my life. A grab & hold, a shake, a violent cough that sent my health into what I suspect will be a lifelong tailspin. A young man trying on his bravado not realizing the permanent damage left in its wake. Mask Up!

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

If you’re opposed to fascism, please make sure you’re working on internalized ableism. The link between fascism, eugenics and ableism is well documented. Fight for disability rights. Make resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask & stay home when sick. Don’t leave us behind.

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

Are you dealing with “brain fog,” memory loss, or other cognitive dysfunction after a COVID-19 infection? You’re not alone! Neurological issues are common after COVID. Check out this guide for tips to help you understand the signs & manage symptoms: longcovidjustice.org/neurological

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Disabled patients have a right to safe healthcare. When we ask staff to mask, we aren’t “entitled”. We’re advocating for our lives. We’re trying to protect our baseline. We’re asking for the respect we deserve. We can’t “just stay home” from the hospital. Masks should be mandatory.

the best message i sent this week included the phrase "botoxmaxxed too close to the sun"

i keep forgetting about this app oopsie

We are so lucky to have a local STEM queen with the time, energy and know-how to produce this for distribution While most people can make HOCL at home, learning new processes takes spoons & having space, non toxic air & nontoxic water is a hard to come by privilege for many in SoCal right now ❤️‍🩹
