any medical grade mask is a good mask, but not all masks do everything you need them to do— learn your tools so you can use them well.

again, this is why wearing a mask is one of the most compelling acts of daily resistance you can engage in. if you changed almost nothing else but start wearing a mask in public indoor spaces, you’re arguably doing more material mitigation to keep you & your community well than this administration.
They’re cutting food inspections and medical research and education and climate forecasting and dismantling anything compiling empirical data because they believe our lives are expendable and nothing compared to their own enrichment and whatever bullshit agenda they push.

joining the chorus of folks asking for care with language re: ICE covering faces—yes, they use nonmedical face coverings, meanwhile, the right has been&continues to be against mask/respirator use to protect oneself &others to the extent of bans—we must make the distinction AND normalize medical use.
resist mainstreaming the far right & their ideals with choices you make every day—an easy one is to wear a respirator in, at the very least, public indoor spaces.

needless spread of novel & thought-to-be-gone pathogens has been key to the eugenicists playbook. prevent it.

Are #OKDems preparing to take full advantage of the gubernatorial GOP candidate shit show being handed them? How about some actual attention from the national party for a change?

Everyone sharing and complaining here is also calling and/or writing their elected reps every day, right? Even the ones you didn't vote for? Especially the blue dots in red states?

You're not all just screaming into a void, right?

Why do RFK Jr protestors not mask in public spaces?

American Amnesia is like apple pie but more popular and without allergens.
Well, if I learned anything from the last 24 hours of coffee discourse it’s that I have learned nothing and am perfectly willing to let Trump be the conductor of the rhythms of my mind.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

“I needed to make a statement.”

The difficult part is how disability and chronic illness are used as justification for Ai. The community wants and needs it for medical applications, accessibility and early detection.

We don’t want generative Ai. Disabled people need imagination to survive, why would we need it to create?
Flyers and posters at the radiologist’s office (standard checkup) about how they use AI to detect cancer and the (justified) public hysteria around it has me having to remind myself this is the GOOD kind of AI that actually saves lives and is an enormous step forward in medicine and not evil

There is currently a free for a limited time, PBS viewing of The Avett Brothers performing on Austin City Limits. I recommend watching it around noon ET today if there's a TV near.

When someone meets you, in an office or wherever, and they are masked, the answer to, "would you like me to mask?" will ALWAYS be yes. Just put the mask on, no need to ask. #DontAskJustMask

i’m glad this opinion seems to be catching on— can we talk about wearing masks now?
We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

Disabled people have been warning the world about what was going to happen for ages.

But nobody wants to listen to us.

Much like Cassandra, we know the future because we have seen the ugliness ourselves, but nobody understands they need to be listening.

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.
