It would not surprise me at all if almost every ICE agent was an anti-vaxx Covid denier.

These are the same men who refused to mask to save lives but who happily cover their faces to hide their identities.

The leading cause of death among ICE agents? Covid.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

NYC Department of Health ordering subtyping of flu patients to rule out H5N1/bird flu

Once again, a well fitted respirator provides excellent protection against all types of flu and COVID.

Mask up to protect your health & the health of your community.

The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene continues to have some of the best #COVID19 messaging.

Really clear messaging from the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene. At this point, it's not going to convince a ton of people to start masking, but it may encourage folks who already mask to keep it up - & it may remind others that masking is an expert-recommended NPI, not a weird obsession.

Oh, hey.....do you know what today is?

Today is a GREAT DAY TO WEAR A RESPIRATOR MASK IN ALL SITUATIONS OF POTENTIAL CONTAGION.

Covid, flu, etc al. inflict harm and injury. Why would we want to bring that onto ourselves, or someone else?

Surgical masks are about 20% as effective as N95's.

A doctor who wears one looks stupid.

A doctor without any mask looks malevolent.
Personally, I'm fed up with dentists and some MDs who think that a surgical mask is enough or claim that their surgical masks are "special". They don't offer a proper seal for aerosols; they leak. Period. We should've learnt this years ago, especially healthcare workers!

There are voices, smiles, and laughter that embrace you tightly. They reach you when you are lying down, curled up, and hopeless, making you feel as if someone were truly holding not only your soul but also your physical body.

“No es para diagnóstico ni tratamiento” lo dicen por dos razones:
1.- Es ilegal ofrecer consejos médicos si uno no es médico y se juegan puros muy gordos si no lo dicen.
2.- ES PARA ACUMULAR DATOS DE LA POBLACIÓN. QUE A NADIE SE LE OCURRA NI TOCARLO CON UN PALO.

If you live alone and deal with a chronic health condition, I just want you to know there are small volunteer-run online spaces where people check in on each other and help reduce isolation.

There are also some apps available.

Cuando decís "no pongáis fotos en vuestras redes sociales" nos estáis diciendo que no anunciemos nuestros eventos. Que no enlacemos las entrevistas que nos hacen en los diarios. Que no colguemos la foto de la presentación de nuestro libro en tal o cual librería. Que nos escondamos. Otra vez.

Hace tiempo que no canto.
Hace un par de días lo hice para llevar un poco de amor a mi familia en medio del duelo.

El amor es lo más fuerte que existe.
Por amor somos capaces de hacer cosas asombrosas.
Por eso canto al amor.

When we put our photos online we are not consenting to having them modified and turned into sexually explicit content.

Asking AI to remove our clothing is sexual abuse.

You are behaving like a predator.

If your response is “just don’t post photos” you are part of the problem.

Disabled people are not expendable

We aren’t “less than” just because we don’t produce for capitalism

One’s worth should never be determined by their health, job or socio economic status

Disability is not a moral failing, and disabled people both need & deserve support

Less judging, more helping

If a woman chooses to put a sexually explicit photo of herself online, that’s her CHOICE.

She’s consenting.

If a man asks Grok to undress a woman and then reposts that photo… that’s sexual assault.

There was no consent.

Learn the difference.

Many men are justifying removing women’s clothing using AI.

They say it’s “no big deal”
It falls under “memes/fair use”
It’s “not real” so doesn’t count

Any man willing to do this to someone is a predator.

This is someone who will rape.

It’s the control & lack of consent they enjoy.

If you’re struggling right now, know that you’re not alone.

It’s ok if everything feels like it’s too much.

It’s ok if you can’t show up the way you want to.

It’s ok if you have to unplug, disappear, retreat or take a break.

Self care is resistance.

“If you didn’t want your photo digitally altered and turned into sexual content you shouldn’t have posted it online” is just the social media version of “if you didn’t want to be raped you shouldn’t have worn a short skirt.”

If you’re participating in this “trend” you’re a predator.

He tenido mi cuenta desactivada durante mucho tiempo debido al duelo por mi madre, y volveré a desactivarla.
He entrado para dar apoyo a las mujeres de mi comunidad por algo que ha sucedido en "el otro lado”: el uso de IA para desnudar a mujeres que aparecen usando mascarilla en sus fotografías.
¿Idea mía o esta cuenta fue hackeada?

If you don’t want to get blood vessel/heart or neurological damage from COVID then wear an ffp2/3, ventilate #CleantheAir & vaccinate and at a point where we have vaccines that were designed to reduce severity, they are not enough alone.
