Similar to HIV, COVID-19 is also capable of destroying immune systems and leaving people more vulnerable to future infections. At Pride and beyond, we encourage everyone to take pride in protection: in the sheets, and in the streets!

It's okay to change our behaviors when we encounter, learn about, or understand clearly new things like higher risks! If you stopped wearing a mask, you can always start again! If someone asks, you can say you learned new things that made you change your mind.

Do you see disabled people at your in-person political actions? If so, are there many? If not, that's maybe because your in-person protest, march, or other action isn't accessible to disabled & chronically ill people &those who care for them. Masks are park of physical access.

There are just as many, if not more, disabled & chronically ill & mad & crippled & sick activists as there are able & healthy people. If they're not in your groups and at your demos, there's a reason why, and that reason is probably your organization and its policies.

We'll be here today to make sure everyone has access to quality respirators! Isra3l is one of the most vaccinated nations in the world--do you think they share those resources with oppressed Pal3stinians? When Gazan refugees come here, will you give them COVID?

To be totally clear, we have a TON of 3M auras (Thanks @MaskBlocStLouis !) but not as many other types--KN95s are especially being requested, and black seems to be a popular color. & we know the mask you'll wear is the best kind! Specific links/wishlists coming later today!

since posting this we have been informed that hand washing does not do much to prevent the spread of bird flu

A reminder that washing hands doesn't prevent covid, but does prevent lots of other diseases like bird flu (we think?) and norovirus, so it's not the most effective public health msg for cvd but you definitely should still be washing your hands a ton in/around med settings!

Hey friends, this GROUPON deal on rapid tests is really good! If you hit "See more" you can go all the way down for 20 tests for 50 bucks. I'm not sure how long it will last, so if you can grab it (for us OR yourselves!) please do!

This gofundme is finally in our linktree--we hope to get a solid stock of KN95s from this, and a similar Aura N95 auction by some of the same Mask Blocs are why we were able to start operation this month! Please consider donating if you're able!

We are currently at $5,380! They've agreed to sell them to us for $200 per palette. The more money we raise, the more palettes we can buy, the further we can ship them, the more communities will have access to free masks!

(un)fortunately, Main Mod is also an amateur graphic designer so have some QR codes to keep on your phone! These redirect to our LinkTree which links out to local testing & many other resources! When we're ready for larger distribution, request forms will live there, too.

Also, if you do: that's not an insult (and we need to stop treating it like it is!) It's just a condition you now have, like becoming diabetic or developing an autoimmune issue. Long COVID / COVID sequelae aren't evil, but they ARE things you should be aware of to care 4 urself!

Super pumped to connect with @MaskBlocStLouis about getting some of the massive amout of N95s they just got at auction with @maskblocLEX ; Cincinatti, OH; & Louisville, KY This makes it likely we'll be able to start taking at least SOME direct requests in the next week or so!

When the gaslighters develop Long Covid, will they gaslight themselves?

We've just checked the former MN state free test website, and there's a "Thank you for your interest, we're out of supplies" message. We're running low on rapid tests but are about to reach out for more. There are also options on our wishlist!

People have been asking us about testing in the wake of both MN and the federal government shutting down their programs. We don't have any helpful DIY resources YET. We do have some rapid tests & access to some more--if you are looking for tests, please DM or email us!

See how ACT UP folks are wearing masks? It's because marginalized communities have had to organize & coordinate public health measures before! We CAN keep each other safe, we just have to DO THE ACTION THAT ENSURES SAFETY. Wear the prophylactic y'all--condom, mask, or dental dam

Yesterday was Long COVID Awareness Day. Someone very close to Main Mod is bed-bound by LC. Every single COVID infection carries risk of permanent & severe disability. Every avoided infection matters! Whether you're avoiding your 1st, 5th, or 20th. It is never too late to start.
