Being able to pull up a map with a dot that indicates “you are here” and a compass to point you around was life-changing. I was able to go so many more places, confidently, without having to pull over and sob, lost and panicked.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Yeah, listening to everyone go “wow, good for you! So determined!” while the person is coughing heavily and looking ill….. I almost had to turn my camera off.

Meanwhile, I’ve been masking since 2020 and have been *very lucky* and have been sick with ZERO airborne illnesses. I’m sick less now than pre-2020 years, in which I’d hack up a lung every fall and even managed to get scarlet fever once. Would take scarlet fever over Covid any day tho.

People discussing how they’ve had Covid “five or six times” and have memory issues, breathing or heart irregularities, etc. and still won’t mask or take any precautions. They’re in such deep denial about it all.

The top recommendation for being sick with Covid is “radical rest”, and this person was walking over 12 miles a day. I can only hope they didn’t get others sick or cause themselves permanent damage. How could they not have, though?

There’s nothing fearful about masking.
You can live your life & wear a respirator.
You’re protecting yourself from illness, death & disability. You’re protecting others.
You’re refusing to be responsible for making someone else sick.
You’re practicing community care. It’s very joyful.

When faced with studies that show covid harms a fetus, those who chose not to take mitigations have to convince themselves that no harm has been done
they seek out minimizers & snake oil grifters who sell them a comfortable lie. Applaud them for their “choice”. Tell them the alternative is worse

Or perhaps a round tortie who loves to chirp and follow you around the room, then trip you with a well-timed flop? Zhaan is your girl!
