a mask is the thing you’re looking for. it is the visible reminder of how things have changed, that you acknowledge we are not coveted “normal” times—but unlike donation-earned tote bags or symbolic beaded bracelets, the mask is community care in both form & immediate function.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Vaccines are life saving. The individual & public health benefit outweighs the risk more than nearly any other approved drug/med procedure. Example: Tylenol is responsible for more deaths & hospitalizations than all vaccines combined. #RFKJr made $Ms off of telling people otherwise.

Virginia is the last refuge in the South for so. many. things. solely because we have managed to hold our state Senate even when we lost elsewhere. The Democratic Senate is the reason that Youngkin hasn't been able to do fuck-all for his entire administration. These elections matter so, so much.

A reminder to try to buy your items elsewhere instead of doing searches for those items and purchasing them through sites like Amazon, Google, Meta, and other companies that are explicitly endorsing this administration.

As a 'quad-demic' rages & we have the highest wastewater readings for Influenza, RSV, & Norovirus in the last 2 years, I would like to revisit the attempt to tell people that increased infection rates were due to 'Immunity Debt'. The evidence never supported it. lilscience.substack.com/cp/155699252

Just as the TSA and CBP agents often lie and say it is not possible when I say I tell them I am opting out of facial recognition at airports and borders, ICE, police, politicians, and the president all lie to your face about the law. State the truth clearly and repeat as needed.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Clinically vulnerable children are in schools and colleges unmitigated for airborne transmission. Covid isn’t only airborne in the US. Children need protection! @uklabour.bsky.social

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask. You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system. You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

A reminder that many of the executive orders issued this week cannot be enacted with acts of Congress. They’re trying to overwhelm us into submission and making us fear for our lives and livelihoods is a very effective way to do that.

Seeing a ton of news articles saying alcohol hand sanitizers don't work against Norovirus AT ALL. Hand washing IS best, but Ethanol reduces the amount of norovirus on hands. I think media is looking to explain why norovirus levels are so high -- besides Covid related immune dysfunction of course.

all these ✨fire aid benefit concerts✨ & not a single one—promotors or artists—talk air quality. how are you to sing when the winds kick toxic debris of full neighborhoods back into the air? when an unmasked crowd infects &disables career-making voices with SARS2? pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I think it’s actually really important to make sure that bad actors cannot manipulate us using our data. The problem with the TikTok ban is didn’t address the fundamental data security issues at play here. They could’ve developed policy around data privacy and manipulation. 1/

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

Propaganda. Name it whenever you witness it. Especially now. Document it, name it, share it.

I guarantee this is part of the deal they’ve worked out. “I’ll grant you the extension, but you have to shut down, and you have to make it clear to all 170 million users that I’m the one who can and will save you.”

I’m working on expanding my confidence masking and actually going more places. Today’s challenge: coffee shop! I was one of 3 masked (it wasn’t very crowded), all wearing high quality respirators, one with a group of friends. Now I have a lovely coffee outside and am confident coming again!
