Agreed! I want to spend more time over here (or rather, less time on the other site), but the community is still largely over there 🫤

*there are people - out in CA, other places - who’ve stepped up and pushed back, incl by masking: keep it up 💪

Last note, totally aware respirators don’t outright block ID software. But they definitely don’t make it function any ~better~ 😎😷

Screenshot of Moderna account tweet with text, “Your risk of #LongCOVID rises with each additional infection. A recent study has shown that by their third COVID infection, patients have a 40% chance of developing Long COVID symptoms.”

Anddd infectious diseases unaside - there’s orders of magnitude more COVID now than in 2020, it’s fucking us up internally
Yes even in 2025
Yes even vaccinated

I guarantee that if 👇 was known pre-rollout, we all would have said fuck no that’s a raw deal give us something better

Last November every single big account was tweeting “dOn’T cOmPlY iN aDvAnCe!”

Not bad advice but there’s new facial ID software everyday, they just allocated $170B to the secret police, the bad guys from lord of the rings are reshaping society and I’m just here like*

Even symbolically, it makes clear “I understand there’s a problem, and I’m part of the solution.”

Ik 2020’s been largely memory-holed, but there was persistent collective unity in that moment that we haven’t come close to since

It’s honestly baffling to me that leftists and liberals haven’t started wearing respirators/masks again

Infectious diseases aside, it’d be strong, visible, unifying action to take against a rapidly escalating surveillance state

If ur not masking rn during an ongoing pandemic you believe this eugenic ideology btw, whether you want to admit it or not. If ur not masking you’re ok with infecting and killing/disabling those around u by spewing Covid all over, so mask tf up and don’t talk abt eugenics if ur contributing to it

okay hear me out, what if we took the idea of democracy and applied it to companies. would be kinda dope imo

Gaza and the end of humanitarian law We should never let the West's leaders lecture us again.

No food has been allowed into Gaza in 53 days.

A yellow background and a meter indicating moderate wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2. The text reads, "National COVID-19 metrics in the U.S. reported slight declines this week, indicating that we’re still in a moderate disease period between surges. SARS-CoV-2 levels appear to be trending back down in the Northeast following recent increases. Even in these “lower-risk” periods, COVID-19 still causes hundreds of deaths each week. The CDC’s burden estimates do not account for Long COVID. The Trump administration is trying to pretend COVID-19 is no longer a threat. In the latest horrors, the administration replaced federal websites like COVID.gov with a page about the lab leak theory, and ordered federal agencies to take down any signs related to COVID-19. Masking up and taking other public health precautions are clear ways to resist these actions."

His fever’s gone and is feeling a bit better, has more energy. Still testing positive ofc and still resting. Thanks to everyone who kindly reached out over the past few days, I passed along your well wishes 🫶

Thank you! He’s starting to feel a bit better

COVID’s still very much a thing. To those fighting for a better world 😷, thanks for caring about my family. Means a lot.

Well, it finally happened - my dad tested positive for the first time on Friday. He has a fever and feels 5/10, which translated from dad scale to society writ large is a 3/10 😅 He was able to get Paxlovid, which I’m happy about, and is resting.

Where do people purchase 3M Auras that isn’t am*zon? Ideally in bulk, gotta restock + send to local mask bloc

Shipping pens and markers to everyone who’s posting “back during COVID” right next to “since I’ve been sick for the last month” to help them finally connect the dots

Assembling furniture today. If I don’t make it back… tell my wife that I- I should have married her!

Did you connect mainly via Twitter/Bluesky? I know my parents would love to have masking friends, but they’re unsure where to find them as they’re not on either app
