Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled.

Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

Can you make yard signs 😅

When you hear it said
(and you will hear it said)
that wearing a mask
at this point
is making a political statement
do not bother arguing,
but instead recognize
that doing what you can
to protect other people
has always been
a political statement.

Your maskless face is a weapon being used by fascists as they dismantle public health.

Do not help them harm BIPOC, disability, trans, immigrant, etc communities, who face greater risk with fewer resources.

Wearing n95 is an act of hope, community care, and resistance.

Give/get mask mutual aid:

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

The time to fight back is now. Community is everything.

How can reframing pandemics as inevitable change the way we prepare for them? @maxlevy.bsky.social joins @hashtagjames.bsky.social, @betsyladyzhets.bsky.social, and @mileswgriffis.bsky.social to talk about it on this week's Still Here.

2. Jealous people will never be satisfied. They will demand all your time and attention, and when they are your entire life, they still want more. Jealousy is never romantic and is itself a form of abuse. Leave at the first whiff of it.

A great COVID safer winter activity I've been doing a lot of is skiing. Wearing a mask in the lift lines and indoors plus bringing all the equipment. Plus it's an activity where it's natural to eat outside!

What is interesting to remember here is that they’re giving those respirators to a population that has called them crazy, paranoid, hypochondriacal, doomsaying, and screamed at them to just stay home if they’re scared, for years. One hopes it inspires some reflection.

A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season.

These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.

We are in a climate emergency.

My daily PSA: Wear a mask!

Cleanspace Halo PAPR has opened up my world. From flying to ballet to protests. 😷

Hello from Livermore, CA. First day of my COVID cautious Christmas with family. Breakfast outside while others ate inside and about to do the same for dinner.

COVID safer travel is possible. Just arrived to the Bay Area in a Cleanspace Halo and didn't have to unmask for TSA. Unmasked after landing to an N95 in a location where the CO2 was below 800.

Today in Philadelphia.

No Arena!

@wednightrides.org thank you for hosting an amazing Holiday Lights Ride! Someone even biked with a full size Christmas tree! 🎄🎁☃️❄️

See you at City Hall tomorrow. It's time to show up in full power to say NO ARENA!

Reminder: High quality masks/respirators such as N95s protect against all airborne viruses including bird flu.
