Continuous exposure to the fine particles in wildfire smoke is similar to smoking half a pack of cigarettes a day.

Protect your health and wear a well-fitting, high-quality mask like an N95 or P100.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

the climate crisis is here, all around us

Today is a good day to start masking again if you stopped. 😷

COVID-19, RSV, flu & more are spreading.

In addition, we are fighting against mask bans in NY and other places. Wearing a mask is a great way to show solidarity and show support for being able to wear a mask.

An NPR investigation found that high-ranking Louisiana health officials ordered staff to stop promoting vaccines for COVID, flu & mpox.

This is unacceptable and must not be tolerated. When political appointees at health agencies prevent public health workers from doing their jobs, it kills people.

Medicaid Facts: #Medicaid is the primary funder of long-term services and supports (LTSS). In 2022, Medicaid covered home- and community-based services (HCBS) for 7.8 million people and institutional care for 1.5 million people (1.3 million in nursing homes).

Multiple people have become sick and hospitalized on flights landing in Boston. We need to await more information to fully understand what's happening here, but your regular reminder that one of the most important times to wear a mask is when you are traveling.

Annual reminder: In addition to preventing virus transmission, N95 masks are great for keeping your face warm in the winter! 😷❄️

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Hi friends, new and old! I’m Tory, a disabled person doing disability stuff, specifically aging and disability care at @caringacrossgen.bsky.social. I love Medicaid, care, cats, @lfgarrett.bsky.social, and screaming into the abyss.

Watch this space to protect Medicaid this year 💕

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here.

For those of you who forget:
Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text.

Thanks 🙏😎
