Ok I thought I was making this up but I feel too many people who vape have a noticeable lack of etiquette that people who smoke cigs are way more mindful about 😭
not to be a narc or anything but smoking is banned indoors for a reason. there could be people with respiratory issues in that restaurant, you can put your vape away for an hour
Conditions people don't realize, regardless of age, make them "high-risk" for COVID:
-Depression
-ADHD
-Autism
-Bipolar
-Sickle Cell Trait (not just the disease)
-Any mood disorder in general
-Any learning disorder in general
I appreciate articles encouraging masks but wrong to say only “high risk” people
1️⃣ As COVID lingers in the air, masks are much more effective when everyone wears one
2️⃣ Not everyone who is at “high risk” realizes it
3️⃣ Everyone has an increased risk of long term health issues
I know I'm not well-read, but going off the knowledge that the US as a state is literally never on the right side of history has never steered me wrong.
cleaners, janitors, sanitation workers, people that maintain cleanliness and safety of spaces are valuable to the wellbeing of society. rightfully they should be held in high regard
Bird flu is literally in NYC parks, a virus that even the CDC explicitly says requires EYE PROTECTION and RESPIRATORY PROTECTION to stay safe. God forbid ppl don't want ash in their eyes either! No amount of language will change the fact that a mask ban will kill people.
He also said the bill is meant to target full-face coverings, distinguishing those from COVID/health-related masks, which only cover the nose and mouth.
"What this is focused on is wearing a mask that totally covers your face, except your eyes," Dinowitz said.
Ableist leftists have literally made the stakes SO HIGH just to pick up FOOD from the GROCERY STORE and RIDE THE BUS, but want people to be hauling their asses into a gym.
Idk how to articulate this, but I think this is what makes everything so wild for me because she was ready to just slide right into their system and not actually challenge anything and basically be a token but their own racism got in the way 💀
Meghan really said it was important that the black girls from Africa see her in a racist institution that is responsible for 99.9999% of their problems.

"Leftists need to learn how to fight or be left behind 😤" Meanwhile, y'all have not bothered after 4+ years to even learn how to adjust the nose bridge of a SURGICAL MASK to fit your faces and actively refuse to give your cardiovascular system a fighting chance.
Y'all who do not keep up with any COVID studies or any COVID info, including all the sheisty sh*t public health officials have been doing throughout this ongoing pandemic, need to stop arguing with people who do. You are out of your depth and don't have any perspective to add.
Bar for bar, the same exact rhetoric used to smear Palestinians just trying to survive organized abandonment, is the same rhetoric media outlets use against Black people trying to survive the same type of neglect.
Watching people pearl clutch over that lady posting Jonah Hill's texts when people were LITERALLY talking about "needing evidence" of abuse from the two women who spoke out against Majors and Huerta is something...
Ablelist leftists will really complain about "keyboard warriors" and then actively avoid any attempt at making their spaces accessible to disabled people 😭

We shouldn’t be applauding men going 40+ years of not respecting women until they claim ownership of one?? That’s not something good??
It's very disorienting?? seeing "leftists" gleefully laughing off COVID when people are literally being forced to work while recovering from COVID which is 1) THE fastest way to develop long COVID and 2) a literal workplace safety hazard?? Why aren't things clicking??
It never left, but now that basic mitigation measures like free testing and mask mandates in all spaces, including medical spaces have dropped, it's gotten way, WAY worse 🥴
A lot of "whataboutism" ends up just being able-bodied people not remembering disabled people exist, being reminded that disabled people do exist, and then trying to spin their embarrassment at being corrected into some testament to society's moral failing vs being more mindful.
Every day in progressive/leftist/etc. organizing spaces, it's "unite!" "unionize!" "work together!" "organize!" until it comes to COVID safety.
Suddenly, leaving vulnerable people to fend for themselves against a danger to everybody's well-being makes perfect sense.
Finally, catching up on mask requests and will work on a June thread! In the meantime, is offering 50% off non-promo/non-discounted items w/ the code "Summer50" and shipping (in the US at least) is always free 🤿
Working while recovering from a COVID infection, no matter how "mild" someone's symptoms might be, is one of the worst ways to develop long-term COVID. To broadcast continue working and not rest is setting so many people up for major harm.
idgi are ppl supposed to pretend they’re sicker than they are? or that the vaccine doesn’t make it more likely your symptoms will be mild? he’s in isolation — what more could you want?
I don’t know who needs to hear this but a virus can most certainly cause disability. Any virus, not just COVID, can cause damage to your body. Public health is nonexistent now. Please care for your health because the government sure doesn’t.
On Tiktok I have gotten 2 account warnings in the last two days after videos critical of democrats and Biden.
Multiple reports of the same all across social media.
Wonder why?
Japan's COVID mitigation messaging centering "3 Cs" (CLOSED SPACES, CROWDED PLACES, and CLOSE-CONTACT SETTINGS) really needs to be used more. I'm so tired of people being surprised they're sick after being barefaced in a crowd of 100+, literally shoulder-to-shoulder each other.
(🧵) If you're COVID-cautious, not hurting financially, but don't have the energy (or desire) to try and educate people around you on COVID's harm, do your part in ending the pandemic by donating to a mask bloc doing the work for you 👇🏾

I am not exaggerating when I say people are online DAILY asking for tips on how to "safely" starve and dehydrate themselves so they don't have to break their mask seals at work because taking it off means being infected and they can't risk another or any infection.
The "young people don't need to worry about COVID" shtick needs to die for a # of VERY OBVIOUS reasons, but public health officials pretending that "young people" live in vacuums and not with elderly relatives in their homes and old people in their communities is so ghoulish.
Layla is one of the Columbia University students attacked by former IOF soldiers with chemical weapons!
Columbia is currently trying to evict her and other students for protesting against Israhell's genocide of Palestine!
Send $ support to her 🫰🏾
I don't even like bringing up the fact that anyone can be and will be disabled at some point to get people to care about "disabled issues" because it should just be enough to care about people not being harmed. ESPECIALLY when you can mitigate that harm to some degree.
Colonial forces like the US and Israel have historically weaponized sickness to commit genocide, and they're still doing that with COVID. Anyone who says they care about liberation and decolonization shouldn't feel fine carrying out that legacy by carelessly spreading COVID.
I'm getting tired of people making my COVID precautions a problem that I'M DOING to MYSELF and not me just responding to their own behavior which they could easily change if it hurts so bad to see me masking so stringently.
If you're taking an at-home rapid antigen test, swab your throat, roof of mouth, inner cheeks, and nose to get more accurate results! Don't just swab your nose despite the test only asking you to swab your nose!
Swabbing correctly for
#COVID19
? Most are not.
@IamKGB
tests—
1) VERY POS—back of throat, cheeks, roof of mouth & both nasopharyngeal w swab held in place for 10s.
2) NEG—outside portion of nostrils
3) NEG—anterior nares/nasal septum
4) FAINT POS—throat & cheeks
5) Repeated

Also, if your coworker masks but you don't, please DO NOT COMMENT on your coworker's PPE, not even to compliment them, if you're not planning on coming in with a mask the next day. Leave us ALONE since you already refuse to give af about our wellbeing 🍅
Jobs cannot do nothing to stop their employees from infecting each other with a biosafety level 3 virus and then be pissy about people pointing out that their "remote" job isn't actually remote if they're requiring someone to "come into office occasionally" 🧱
Absolutely value vulnerable people, but the whole "high risk" schtick with COVID public health info has done so much harm 😭
Huffing a bio-safety level 3 virus that does HIV-levels of damage to the immune system and has been documented to rewrite DNA is NOT SAFE for ANYONE 😭
I used to mince words, but now that I've officially quit M4RS, I want to say that any organization that does not proactively practice COVID precautions and pay attention to COVID safety is not about to be liberating anybody.
I'm not a professional, just someone who likes learning about skincare and works in beauty, BUT if you're still masking regularly to avoid COVID and dealing with a lot of acne because of it, there are some products you can use to help clear it up 🧵:
@Natcc4
@RikaPoppin
If you're doing it voluntarily, you're right! It should be your choice! The problem with the tweet is that it's implying it's a requirement
I'm sorry, but the deification of doctors in response to pushback against COVID disinfo is so wild to me, not just because I live with one who's constantly on some sort of b.s., but also because doctors regularly screw over marginalized people in so many ways 😭
I see too many Reddit posts in the few COVID-informed subreddits of people asking what to do about their "moral conundrum" where it's just them, an abled person, tired of having to still mask stringently for their disabled partner and I want to jump them so much.
Alright, who's going to teach the rest of us how to electrostatically charge our own fabric for masks now that these mask distributors keep packing up 😭
This is exactly what played out in my area's socialist org that made me pack up my shit and bounce🤷🏾♀️
Was told verbatim that it didn't make sense to enforce masking when "nobody else does" and that it "wouldn't do anything about the spread of disease" 😭
At this point I think most people on the left are fully aware of covid, its consequences and that they should be masked up.
I think they are intentionally ignoring the ppl talking about it because they feel fine that so many others are doing the same. They are comfortable.

It's not supposed to be funny, but people being written off as "crazy" for the levels of care they're taking to avoid COVID infections is funny because "mentally ill" people are literally high-risk.
Idk how people who were keeping up to date with COVID info suddenly decide they're tired of avoiding COVID and then completely drop all precautions because, me personally, every newer variant seems worse to get 😭
Anyone who's stopped masking regularly under the impression that the pandemic is "over," COVID is mild/just like the flu, and/or vaccines are "the only layer of protection necessary to not get and spread COVID" has been duped by "back to normal" propaganda.
Yes there are a number of barriers around being able to own a P100 (upfront cost, fit, etc.) but, at this point, if your only barrier around using a P100 against COVID is embarrassment, you should honestly figure out how to work through that so that you can use one.
This is such a major part of why I'm desperately avoiding COVID the way I am. At 24, my parents still don't believe I have ADHD, despite complaining about my ADHD symptoms since I was in PreK. I don't want to deal with them not believing my long COVID symptoms.
Hearing kids in my office describe what sounds like Long Covid symptoms is so heartbreaking. Even more heartbreaking to hear the other adults in their lives don’t believe them.
@AshlayahNeal
They move makeup around your face and tug more than cleanse. Using a cleansing oil or balm gets rid of it more gently and more effectively. Elf's Holy Hydration makeup melting cleansing balm and the Inkey List's oat cleansing balm are nice and cheap!
So it IS hit dogs hollering because there is no way these safety measures are a foreign concept 5+ years into a pandemic feat. an airborne disease that's the same level of danger as tuberculosis 🫤
Yes??? All those things?? Food tastes the same when it is takeout. If they are real friends and if you are a real friend you should have no problem testing. And yes, SARS2 spreads fairly easily outdoors so I also mask outdoors in public.
We can't even attend your fucking meetings without risking being infected by a disease that has MASS AMOUNTS of people intolerant to having the lights on in their own bedrooms because you bitches won't put a piece of fabric on your faces.
CW for a the body of a dead child //
Hey, if you're on Twitter right now and see a tweet from @/ehajjarr that starts like this, please brace yourself when reading and scroll carefully. It's the body of a dead child hung up on the wall of what looks like a house.
It's why I typically only use "COVID-safe" first and then maybe "COVID-informed." "COVID cautious" and "COVID conscious" feels like I'm framing basic safety against a literal biohazard as a personal problem IMO 😭
Even if I have to cry through it, I'll be damned if I let my own peers in progressive spaces gaslight me over giving a fuck about taking action against a biosafety level 3 virus infecting us and our community
I am honest to god tired of family trying to talk to me about when I'm ready to "move on from COVID" instead of asking for exactly wtf I'm seeing that has me "doubling down" so hard!!
Layla is one of the Columbia students who was attacked with a chemical weapon by a former IOF soldier during a pro-Palestine protest.
They're going to have to throw away too many of their items because the chemicals can't be washed off. Please send $$
almost 96 hours since I was sprayed w/ skunk on campus: skin is still burning. very dizzy and nauseous.
turned in items for police evidence & having to throw away the rest. i finally got 6 hours of sleep. skunk water sticks to any fabric & cannot be washed out.
Y'all, please shut up about the CDC. It is very silly to act like people with a politic that requires actively unlearning mass amounts of gov propaganda and distorted history are "just" accidentally choosing to maim and disable themselves and other people.
Ableist leftists have literally made the stakes SO HIGH just to pick up FOOD from the GROCERY STORE and RIDE THE BUS, but want people to be hauling their asses into a gym.
All the COVID eugenics from lefitist orgs has really reaffirmed my desire to get deep in Black feminisms because the rest of y'all are not operating from a sense of care.
Talking about discipline but don't have the gumption to ask event attendees (who you've already required to show up at a specific location, at a specific time, to engage with a specific topic) to put a piece of fabric on in order to not get or spread a biosafety level 3 virus.
Do not have the energy to find a non-white, COVID-safe, and ADHD-informed therapist so I will simply be printing pages of Black feminist theory and pushing them up my nose to my brain or whatever ancient Egyptians used to do.
Tired of how people taking COVID precautions are harassed for literally actively doing everyone around us a major favor. God forbid you clean the air for your coworkers.
my coworkers were being super annoying making jokes about me turning a Hepa filter on and about my mask and I was like 1) you’re not funny 2) at least I’m not rawdogging dirty air 3) shut up and they did :) please clap
People come back with COVID infections from their DENTIST and start blaming themselves for not ordering an obscure mask you can tape to your face that costs $35+ or for not shoving a $150+ air purifier in their handbag but god forbid you have to consider wearing a mask to Target.
If you're in the Mid-South area needing high-filtration masks (KN95s/KF94s/N95s) or know somebody needing masks, including children's masks, dm me! I have a lot to mail out!
Literally not a radical bone in her body or thought in her head wearing that veil that had all their colonies sewn into it but that still wasn’t enough for that family 💀
But that might be me still not being over the last mutual aid distro I did for a socialist org I used to be in where one of the white people I was working with blew their vapor (?) right at me while I was the only person masked 🧍🏾♀️
