The world sucks and things are bad but hey, you know what you can do right now to make things easier on yourself and others? Wear a face mask. We have to be alive to fight back.
And then? She messaged me "he mad, lol!"
I told her youvmessaged the wrong person! I'm not mad. I am disappointed you do not care about me.
And I'm glad my misery brings you joy.
Had this exact conversation recently and it very quickly became obvious that they didn't mean something that helps so much as something that makes them feel important.
Tired of seeing people despair about how they wish they could do something, literally anything to make things better- but they won't mask to save their life or others. Like, it's literally right there. It's such an easy thing that makes SUCH a difference. It can SAVE lives.
It's hypocrisy through and through. People are only interested in doing something if it means they don't have to put in too much effort or inconvenience themselves. It's lip service. It's not serious.
Someone I respect scrambled for a mask in a poorly ventilated building when she saw me wearing one, saying “even though they don’t work, it’s the symbolism, right?” I replied “they do work”. Her follow up: “only to protect other people and I’m not infected”. Good people acting on bad information.
I don’t even see consistent masking at “masks required” events that provide free masks.
It’s such a minimal inconvenience under those circumstances, and people still just won’t do it.
they want us sick and tired so they can control us. they want us poor and unhoused so they can mistreat, imprison, and exploit free labor from us. they want us dead because they like eugenics.
“they,” by the way, are the largely white, largely rich capitalists from across the political spectrum. obviously a bit more concentrated on the right, but there are so many democrats and even leftists who only heard the last 4 words of the sentence, “the emergency phase of the pandemic is over.”
And if you are able to improve ventilation to a space, by opening windows and especially by introducing air filtration, that will make a huge difference.
sorry didn't add any.
it's an image depicting how to wear a face-mask correctly, depicting images of someone with the facemask under their chin, with their nose poking out, and with it not sealed properly with a red ❌, followed by two images of wearing it properly with a green ✔️

i used to share messages like this with people not activists and the
i miss it

Also, take care of your mental health. I had to call 988 earlier because I was having a panic attack and couldn't calm down. Knowing when to prioritize yourself and your safety is good praxis.
This is exactly right but another thing normal ass every day people can do is show up to meetings and advocate for HEPA filters/UV systems in AHUs and other HVAC. Some buildings wont ever have good airflow without a knock-down but anything with central/multi-zone HVAC can and thats MOST
It's kinda brilliant that the idiots decided to reject masks, vaccines, and social distancing.
Like, if you disagree with my fundamental beliefs, feel free to live longer for no damned reason.
