We’re still in a global pandemic. The threat of Covid has not passed. We’re seeing an increase in bird flu, measles, TB & more. Public health has been dying a slow & painful death for years. We are on our own. The good news? Masks work for more than just Covid! My complete guide to respirators 👇🏼

Elon is the ideal example of how not to act with a South Node in Leo. ♌️ The attention-seeking behavior falls flat and looks corny, not charming. (Spoken as an AuDHDer with the same Leo SN, Aquarius NN combination.)

Thank you all for the reposts on the last post. I’ve never had more than 2 shares on anything I’ve posted before, on any platform, so it means a lot.

One of the most revolutionary things you can do right now? (You’re not going to like it.) Mask up! 😷

“People with disabilities are not burdens; painting disabled people as burdens is ableist and presents disabled people as a “problem to be solved,” rather than a group of people who deserve to be fully included in all aspects of society.”

I’ve said this before but it’s still true, a good 43% of my job right now is parsing “so is it the horrors or do you need a med change?” We are aware how ridiculous it sounds but have 15-25 min to process world events AND decide about meds so tysm for your patience.

The usual suspects either don’t “get” the subversive brilliance of Kendrick’s performance or do “get” it and are seething. Make it count. Keep letting them know they are terrible and their beliefs are terrible

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment
