My wife, @mchristinebd.bsky.social, did a book event yesterday and I tagged along to watch and also set up 6 AirFanta 3Pro air filters to reduce viral transmission. (Five pictured, one more in back. Plug spots limited options.) We both wore high quality masks, too. #COVIDisnotover #AirQuality
Five AirFanta 3Pro air filters in mesh bags on the floor near a table and chair at the front of a room. Lots of books on shelves all around.

A few COVID-aware friends and I have been testifying at local Allegheny County Health Department board meetings to ask them restart COVID wastewater testing and this week they announced they would! A small but serious win for public health! Thanks, ACHD! www.facebook.com/AlleghenyCou...
Slide from Zoom meeting for Allegheny County Health Department with "restarted wastewater testing" circled by me in the "COVID-19" bullet under "Respiratory Season"

I went to film an indoor event yesterday and wore a P100 mask + set up 8 AirFanta 3Pro filters to clean the air. Used the box fan to push outside air indoors. #CovidIsNotOver
Inside of Chevy Bolt car filled with seven visible AirFanta 3Pro air filters and a box fan. (There is an 8th AirFanta in the front seat, not visible.)

If you aren’t working to stop burning fossil fuels at the local, national, and/or global scale, then you’re asking for wildfire smoke like this to get worse.

Visit to the doctor with a battery-powered AirFanta 3Pro and low CO2 on my Aranet4. Had to tell the security guy that it was an air filter. He seemed to think it was cool.

FWIW, my new Mac Mini M4 with 32GB RAM handles my 100 minute documentary just fine in #FCPX. Never any fan noise. Exports are fast. Memory pressure is green or yellow most of the time, even with/ extra apps open, and never seems to slow down due to RAM. Here's my project & trailer: inversiondoc.com.
Image shows Final Cut Pro timeline across a ~100 minute film. Lots of tiny clips shown scattered across the width.

Also, COVID makes affordable healthcare and public health policy more important, and Trump will likely make them more scarce. You will want to whatever you can to avoid all illness with TRUMP and COVID in power.
White text on red background: As you build community to resist Trump’s agenda, please consider making spaces safer for those exercising COVID caution.
