I would like to thank all people who wear a mask in public to protect themselves and others from airborne viruses. There aren't many of us. Were awesome!
Every time I see a masker I feel less sense of dystopia and a connection. Look after yourself and others! 😷

I do judge him for suggesting surviving snorting toilet seat germs means we don’t need vaccines, or is some indication of health or toxic masculinity as health

Don’t forget part two of my prediction.
25 years before we have done anything substantial about the problem (like air system upgrades).
And that’s if we are still living in a coherent social structure.

So at the beginning of the pandemic I said it would take about 5-7 years for people to figure stuff out using heuristic learning methods.

Freedom and democracy are for the brave and resilient.
Resilience means being able to weather storms without losing the national identity of a free and fair society.
Closing up like a hard shell, gripping like a vice, shutting down the conversation… that’s authoritarianism.

Athletes routinely abstain from alcohol, refined sugar, or other foods and drinks to try to give themselves an edge. Endurance athletes monitor all kinds of health stats through wearables and they have noticed the impacts covid has on resting HR and HRV for example.

Wearing masks and avoiding indoor crowds before a major globally broadcast competition are hardly 'extreme measures' when it protects an athlete's career from being sidelined by a virus
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

I was just putting gloves on to do some washing up when I had to drop everything and take to social media to fight maladaptive brainwashing.
Now I’m hungry and sleepy and the dishes aren’t done. Grrrrrr.

“Health anxiety” seems more like capitalist gaslighting that we are ridiculous to want quality of life, ability to work + financial security, and robust social safety nets that help us when we are sick or disabled
As in… listening to an expert saying you are feeling anxious, when in reality you or your kids are being infected by a lot of stuff, disrupting your life and causing real, practical anxieties…
