Can't stop laughing at this very 2025 email home from my p1 daughter's online teacher

#PandemicParenting
Hello (blank), I hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know that (redacted) had scissors out in our Maths class and looked like she was cutting her hair with them. I did ask her to stop and advised her that she needed to ask her grown ups before doing anything like that to which she agreed. However, I wanted to let you know as she wasn't visible on the camera for the majority of the rest of the lesson. Warm regards

New photos of Luigi Mangione are out and the fact that he was (at least at some point) a masking #climber makes me so happy.

Updated infographic (with suggestions graciously provided by two very astute bsky community members)!

(I have a higher quality PDF version with hotlinks if anyone would like one - please message me and I'll send one along.)

#MaskUp #COVIDisNotOver
Similar to the referenced infographic in the previous post, but with a few grammatical changes and some minor adjustments of text spacing, etc.

#YallMasking?

Trying to make sure I get everything right before I send it off to be printed and included with FFP3s being distributed - would appreciate feedback from other #COVID advocates on Bsky, including other #MaskBloc organisers and members!

An educational infographic titled 'COMMUNITY MASKING AND PUBLIC HEALTH' explaining mask effectiveness against COVID-19. The image presents scientific evidence comparing different mask types and debunking common myths. It features simple illustrations of surgical masks, cloth masks, and FFP2/FFP3 respirators. The infographic is divided into sections explaining how COVID-19 spreads as an aerosolised pathogen and showing that properly-fitting FFP2/FFP3 masks provide superior protection compared to surgical or cloth masks. A 'Masking Myths vs Research' comparison table details four common misconceptions alongside evidence-based corrections, including statistics showing N95/KN95 masks are 83% effective versus 66% for surgical masks. The bottom includes five academic citations from 2020-2024 and indicates the document was prepared by Mutual Aid Inverness.

@monzo.com might need to tweak their code a bit to make it less judgy toward #disabled people (and #academics and parents) 😂😂
Monzo's 'Year in Review' feature, with the first tab's text saying, "Your priorities? Questionable at best." The following tab says, "Your top custom categories: Medical Expenses (39 transactions), Fitness and Recreation (12 transactions) and Education (10 transactions)".

Old-timey drawing of a physician in the 1800s washing their hands in a basin with the text "When I see a doctor who is judgmental of my COVID precautions, I see an 1847 physician who mocked Ignaz Semmelweis for suggesting that washing hands prior to delivering babies would prevent maternal deaths"
