Astoria doesn’t want a mask ban. Tell the governor to pound sand
When calling government officials about mask bans, specify "any law that would criminalize masking, whether as an enhancement or a ban." Many lawmakers don't consider current versions "bans" despite restricting mask use.
Is more important than something that helps keep people from catching potentially fatal diseases
Why must I defend my choice to keep my germs to myself?
She might as well have the National Guard to kill medically vulnerable directly, because this ban will lead to large death toll.
Just carve us off, rename us Ohio Junior and be done with it, please.
and you might be one of those subversive people who wants people to have healthcare, or end a genocide
signed, an immuno compromised subversive who wants everyone to have healthcare
So sad it’s come to this
I can verify whatever needed!
Will you just ignore a black Woman pleading out for help before I do something I can’t come back from? Don’t wait until I’m dead to care. Can’t say I didn’t ask for help first 🥺⬇️
I suppose I could Google this …
We got much bigger fish to fry.
The entire point is to force disabled people out of public life permanently - by making us stay at home all the time, jailing us and/or infecting/killing us.
So yeah, I've been socially isolating this entire time. I can do backyard hangouts, but that's it. Most of my friends have moved on years ago. It's so depressing.
At least I have a good partner at home, and some sweet kitties.
My husband and I were lucky to get one of the last two semi-affordable houses in Portland (OR) a few years ago w/ significant help from our families.
I've taken to gardening, & already loved cooking & playing video games - just making the best out of a shitty situation.

My husband and I wear masks everywhere and in five years we haven’t been sick once!
Not a single damn cold. Who would want to be sick when they don’t have to be?
Plus, covid damages your body, but I’ll not get into that right now
Weird and medically illiterate.
Democrats have been a terrible ally for COVID-aware people and the disabled/chronically ill.
Exactly this!!
Biden out there telling everyone covid was over while thousands were still getting sick and dying.
My step father died last year from covid. Stopped wearing masks and didn’t get a vaccine. He kept saying “they said it’s over with”
