For my entire existence, at least the parts I could remember, I had done nothing but accept the inevitable. I was tired of it.

This. None of us actually expect that we’re going to see society wide masking anymore.

Masking in medical facilities should be the bare minimum.

A few more people choosing to mask up might save a life.

Every infection is a dice roll with disability and some of us are too sick to take the risk

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

When we say “everyone should mask” we don’t actually expect people will. We know how selfish people are. But we say it because:

1) it’s factually true

2) if even a few people listen to us that’s a few more lives saved and, as the Talmud says, every life is a universe.

"Unhinged" is putting it mildly. I've got a new video coming next Sunday about how very gay The Invisible Man & other classic horror films are, and it's been a THRILL to spend time with this Benny-Hill-ass picture:

Hearing a lot of great stories about accessibility and inclusion at No Kings.

People providing transportation to and from the event.

People wearing N95s!

People ensuring the routes were wheelchair accessible.

People setting up virtual events.

Thank you for including disabled comrades!

If you were at the No Kings events, please wear a mask for the next few days.

Covid is not over.

You can infect others before you feel symptomatic.

People are losing their healthcare. They’re losing their food assistance. They’re losing housing.

We need to protect each other.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Folks are asking what to do about the One Special Boy's AI vids and whether they should share them:

MOCK THEM WITHOUT SHARING.

This creates what an enthymeme, where readers have to SUPPLY PART OF THE REFERENT to understand what you are mocking. An enthymeme is the STRONGEST form of persuasion.

If you want people to do hard things EN MASSE, you must support them when they show up in the MILLIONS to tell the ONE SPECIAL BOY to GTFO.

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.

Dr. Lisa Corrigan @drlisacorrigan.bsky.social · 2d

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Hey @edmarkey.bsky.social, my senator. Can you please teach out to Fenway Health and see if you can get them to restore the trans youth care they just ended?

Your words are great and we need your action too.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Sen. Ed Markey, a white man with white hair, standing at a lectern with a dark background, and Sen Elizabeth Warren to camera right, in a black top with a red blazer. Markey wears a trans pride flag draped over his shoulders. The closed caption reads "trans people because trans righs are human rights. We" The chiron underneath reads "No Kings Rally Underway In Boston"

in 20 years, the most extreme, reactionary, "return to tradition" masculinity influencer is going to adopt this uniform and you'll have to calmly explain that this was once considered non-traditional

Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård shows up for the London premiere of his new movie “Pillion." He's wearing a sleeveless white dress shirt with a black leather necktie and black leather pants with metal grommets down the crotch. He's also wearing black leather boots. A black motorcycle is behind him.

As No Kings wraps up, please remember the over 1,200 people who’ve gone missing from the Florida Everglades detention centre.

That’s 1,200 people who may be dead.

Who may be rotting in foreign prisons.

Who may be in an ICE detention centre sick or suffering.

We must demand accountability.
