If we had responded to Covid by normalizing masking, providing respirators in healthcare & adopting clean air standards…we could have beaten the virus.

We would also be seeing less measles, colds & flu.

We would all be healthier.

I believe history will see it as one of our greatest failures.

Would you like to…

Oppose RFK & his eugenicist project?

Protect BIPOC, trans, immigrant, & disability communities?

Do radical community care?

Support worker’s rights?

Slow healthcare system collapse?

Avoid illness?

Be punk AF?

Wear an n95 in public to do all this & more. Give/get mutual aid:

I've really been looking forward to @magathachristie.bsky.social's 2025 Train Jam, and it's at full steam!

A bunch of cool people making #TTRPG concepts about trains? It's never going to be a bad time

Can I suggest

If you are stuck on a project

Talk to another fucking human being about it

I guarantee whatever solution you come to will be better than anything "AI" could spit out

The line "And there were no instances where exposure to viruses was protective." jumped out at me.

A study of 500,000 medical records linked viruses with Alzheimer's again and again

"Those who were hospitalized with pneumonia after catching the flu seemed to be more susceptible to Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and ALS"

We know there is a lot going on in the world right now! This is your reminder to stop and take at least 3 deep breaths.

Feel the surface beneath you. Sink into it. Inhale for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat as often as needed.

We should receive our official approval letter for the new apartment this week, but we're still short on expenses. In particular, we're really hoping to hire movers because the last move was a lot on us physically, and the new place is a (lovely) 3rd-floor walk-up

Thanks!!

Got some pretty cool news this weekend! We've been making this thing for a long time now, it's awesome to get some recognition and love for it. 🥰

Solidarity with Canada postal workers and Alberta teachers! ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

I will just say it again :
One of the most radical acts of resistance and shared humanity in the face of fascism is wearing a well fitting mask. Now more than ever if you have stopped wearing one reconsider wearing one when in public. Protect yourself and others from the pandemic and surveillance

Health Canada put out an alert regarding acetaminophen in pregnancy… reassuring pregnant people that it’s safe and that untreated fever can harm a developing fetus.

The updated COVID/histamine link thread because people keep tagging me in to explain it and I keep intending to update the post from 2023 (synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html) and just not having the capacity because of my own health shit so here is a thread I can pin

Masking up and advocating for clean air at #UNGA w/ Violet Affleck and @myrabatchelder.bsky.social!

If you’re capable but refuse to mask re: COVID, you’re doing MAGA-style anti-science & anti-justice bullshit.

Research shows the longterm effects are grim & it most harms vulnerable groups. Harming & discarding them is fascist, whether done via policy or via a maskless face.

Mask up. Mutual aid:

Just as a new wave starts, the BCCDC / Metro Vancouver has reduced their wastewater monitoring to 8 stations (from 12), one time (from 3) per week, and updated every 2 (instead of 1) weeks.

THEY ARE HIDING THE EXTENT OF THE ONGOING PANDEMIC.

PROTEST IT.

Playing the most insufferable "wellness" grifter/influencer/pop-star I could possibly imagine in this one was a lot of fun. 😅

They should make a life that isn't exhausting

Wear a face mask when you go out in public- if for no other reason than knowing that they want you too sick, too exhausted and too burned out from dealing with back to back respiratory infections to speak up for yourself & your community. You deserve to protect your health.

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel.

The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040.

The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.
