N95 or better on your face, please. Get in touch with your local mask bloc!

BJ 🏳️‍⚧️ @bellamyj.blacksky.app · 4d

It is not too late for you to start wearing a mask in public.

It is not too late for you to start advocating clean air.

It is not too late for you to learn how to build your own air filters or to tap in with folks already doing so.

They want you sick. They want your neighbors sick. Tell them no.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

The mass firings at the CDC tonight drive home the fact that no one is coming to save us

But we can save each other

Wear a mask. Ideally a respirator like an N95

Even if you’re vaccinated. Even if you’re “not worried”

It protects you but it also protects everyone else

Bonus? Less colds & flus!

When it comes to public health and outbreak response capacity, what happens in America doesn’t stay in America.

If the CDC is eviscerated it will have ripple effects the world over.

Many viruses are airborne and were in a time of global travel.

This is a threat to everyone.

Angie Rasmussen @angierasmussen.bsky.social · 4d

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

It’s been a heck of a week.

The “flooding the zone” strategy is damaging to nervous systems. It’s ok if you’re exhausted, you have a right to be.

Many of us with chronic illness use social media as our main connection with the world.

We use it to combat the isolation.

But it can come at a cost:

Reminder that you’re under no obligation to participate in art vs artist or related trends that ask you to upload pictures of your face to the internet and now is a really good time to be critical of what identifying information you share about yourself online

You can subscribe to PBS for a few dollars a month.

Cancel Disney, Paramount and Amazon.

Vote with your dollar and give to the people and organizations who are still fighting back.

Who are trying to make a difference.

Who aren’t owned by billionaires.

Eric Deggans @edeggans.bsky.social · 13d

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

Covid is rampant right now so please get the newest booster if you haven't yet. I have multiple friends and a neighbor with covid right now. The pharmacist might still ask in person if you're high risk (I wasn't asked, my partner was) but you don't have to give details or proof and just say yes.

Alex de Campi @alexdecampi.bsky.social · 14d

To clarify: you currently do not need to say WHY or HOW you qualify for each vaccine if you schedule online at a CVS or a Walgreens. You just tick a box and they trust you. The pharmacist administering the shot won’t ask either

You can get 3-4 vaccines at once

Alex de Campi @alexdecampi.bsky.social · 14d

If you need vaccines (25-26 Covid booster, flu, pneumonia, etc), CVS is currently very much doing a “tick this box if you qualify for this vaccine” method of self-verification for online vaccine scheduling so GO GET YOUR SHOTS before this CDC stuff gets more insane

haha yeah

A comic about a black cartoon bird and a magpie. The crow says to the magpie: Wow, we have so much in common! The magpie replies: Yes, true! Both look happy. The second panel look confused or just staring into the void. The crow thinks: I should get tested for autism. The magpie is thinking: I hsould get tested for ADHD.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 15d

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.

Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.

Here is your shutdown guide.

Shutdown Day Guide For LGBTQ+ People: "Continuing Resolutions" And New Anti-Trans Posts From The White House

Shutdown day is here, and there has been a lot of competing coverage on Republican priorities, Democrat's demands, and what shutdown politics means for LGBTQ+ people in America.

Covid is not a joke. Millions have died and even more have been disabled.

The vast majority of Americans can’t access paxlovid.

Many can’t even afford the most basic medical care should they become ill.

Yet these extraordinarily wealthy & privileged men joke about the virus.

Shameful.
