For BHM you can listen to another podcast I made about surveillance tech, policing, and systemic racism. Itβs currently featured on Apple Podcasts (and not boring or hard to listen to!) One ep is specifically about the bad idea that is Ring cameras and when I have time, I will break it down here :)

An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

this helps manufacture consent that people trying to not get a neurotropic disease that can cause lifelong disability without a cure are the crazy ones. this framing is explicitly condescending, misleading, and does real harm.
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
