Fear & concern are coded feminine, so they get translated into anger, which feels more tough.
Hurt & disappointment are coded feminine, so they get translated into outrage & aggrievement.
The simple human need for love & affirmation is coded feminine, so it gets translated into demands & control.

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.
Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

Not all resistance has to be boots on the ground. There are small ways we can all resist.
Wear a mask
Donate to mutual aid
Support libraries, food banks & community fridges
Fascism thrives when people are misinformed, scared & divided.
Being informed, united & helping one another IS resistance

Only YOU can stop the COUP.
Well, actually...it would help a LOT if our members of Congress were doing their damnedest too. But they're not, so it's on us.

if you buy used books and want to avoid amazon where possible, check out bookfinder.com
you can search essentially every marketplace in one go
so you can, e.g., find the same used copy for sale, from the same seller, on biblio.com or ebay instead of amazon or abe (owned by amazon)

I don't know who needs to know this, but @archive.org has thousands of knitting & crafting books you can "check out" & sometimes download. E.g., as a machine knitter (amongst other things), I have found an amazing trove of very helpful out-of-print books. 🙏 Check it out! 🧶

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.

I've got a lot of new followers, so fair warning I yell A Lot about my mast cells + mast cell disorders #MCAS
This may seem niche
But COVID infection can trigger mast cell dysfunction
So it is becoming more common, and there are not enough doctors who know how to recognize and manage it
