PSA: You don’t owe anyone an explanation about the health reasons why you are wearing a mask.
Badgering others about the tools they need to survive is stigmatizing and ableist, and should have no place in decent society.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

A 1974 study from Purdue University asked 10th-12th graders their feelings about book bans and lo and behold, those who opposed censorship got better grades, read more, and had stronger vocabularies than their peers.

In a case where the law largely permits naming victims of sexual violence & where some survivors are explicitly asking to be seen, why do journalists so often withhold names or treat victims as secondary to the story?

As DOJ begins to release Epstein files, his many victims deserve more attention than the powerful men in his ‘client list’
Powerful men connected to Jeffrey Epstein are named, dissected and speculated about. The survivors, unless they work hard to step forward, remain a blurred mass in the background.
