“I have trouble making connection with people who wear masks” is an admission that you have trouble making connections with disabled people FIX THAT

Pretty sad 95% of my muted words and phrases are government related … but I just can’t do it right now. I am barely staying afloat dealing with health shit & my social security battle. I can’t just scroll by because I feel obligated to read and learn more if I see it but the dread & depression…

Not to be a Debbie downer but the more bizarre weather news, broken records, and ostrich behavior I see the more hopeless I feel. The end of the world, the end of humanity specifically, won’t be a sudden apocalyptic event — it’s this. The slow but terrifying increase of unlivable conditions.

"The temperature in Death Valley National Park could skyrocket to 130 degrees next week, the National Weather Service is reporting."

New study by Linsey Marr: “We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

Stability of Aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 on Masks and Transfer to Skinpubs.acs.org The potential for masks to act as fomites in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has been suggested but not demonstrated experimentally or observationally. In this study, we aerosolized a suspension of SAR...

Nothing like waking up to 45+ notifications to feel immediately super overwhelmed and like you’d like to just go back to being unconscious so you don’t have to deal with them all 🫠 Sometimes these hyper-connected devices are a goddamn curse.

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you

Cops don’t like them; makes it harder to use surveillance footage and facial recognition to arrest people (especially at protests).

If you haven’t been masking in public since 2021 please mask the fuck up in solidarity. We’ve been begging for years and everything we’ve said would happen has happened and is happening bc you’d rather disappear disabled people than listen to us when we see the fascist warning signs

Have joined a few manhwa/manhua groups to get recs bcuz I’m still very much out of my depth but oh my lawd I cannot deal with how lawless and unethical they all are. “Credit to the artist” is NOT fucking credit, especially with no watermark (or an illegible one) & nary a name in the caption!!

Mm yes, totally normal to be walking and randomly have a pain like someone is stabbing a railroad spike through your ankle that’s so intense your entire leg glitches and you almost trip. 🫠 Just #EDS things, amirite?

Trends in June sea ice concentration are still mostly confined to coastal areas of the #Arctic Ocean. The largest declines are found in the Barents Sea this time of year. Sea ice concentration = fraction of ice-cover (observed by satellite). Info: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

If your event runs mask free, I am far more likely to believe it is because of the personal preferences of the organizers running it, than to accept the idea that it is "too difficult". ESPECIALLY queer events. Our community had bitter lessons to learn from AIDS, but we LEARNED THEM.

Heard Mom whispering to Dad when they were leaving earlier that my infusion didn’t work out & she knew it was bad because I was crying. When I woke up from my nap there were two mini apple pies on the counter for me — Dad’s way of doing something when he doesn’t know what to do 🥲♥️

For anyone who doesn't know, these are the non-binary pride flag colours. They represent people who: 💛 – exist outside the binary 🤍 – identify with multiple/all genders 💜 – identify as a mix of male and female 🖤 – have no gender

SOCIETY: $2000 is the minimum we need to live each month DISABLED PEOPLE: So you agree disability should be raised to $2000 SOCIETY: Disabled people are magical & can live off less DISABLED PEOPLE: No, we can't SOCIETY: [avoiding eye contact] Disabled people are SO inspiring

Already seeing posts on Facebook about people who went unmasked to Pride events catching COVID. Be safe out there, folks. Masking up is how we outlive the people who want to kill us!

The page that went up today was one of my favorites back when I was still working on chapter 1. I'm still sort of proud of it!! ✨ keepingtimecomic.com

Keeping Time is a queer, adult webcomic that’s a bummer of a romance between two bandmates who fall in love. If you like deeply flawed, not-at-all wholesome characters, then I might be cooking up something you like! 🎸 Launching publicly on April 23rd at keepingtimecomic.com #KeepingTime

5/30/2024 -- Personally, gonna mask up on airplanes, grocery stores, theater, etc. Minimize risk as much as possible. katiecouric.com/covid-19/lon...

A Recent Study Finds Covid Can Cause New Health Issues Years After Infectionkatiecouric.com “That a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to new health problems three years down the road is a sobering finding,” an author of the study says.

This is probably a weird EDS thing but… #NEISvoid — y’all ever wake up & feel like your feet aren’t right? For lack of better wording. Like the bones and stuff feel like they’re in the wrong spot and if you walk around barefoot it’s a lil painful, but if you put supportive shoes on it fixes it?

Happy Pride Month to everyone else who is also chronically ill and high risk and unable to participate in Pride Month festivities because folks won't mask. I see you. Your love is still valid. And to everyone else who can safely attend events this month, please mask up.

Once again it is pride month, so here’s your fruity chronically ill friend reminding you that lgbtq+ justice is wholly inextricable from disability justice and covid remains lethal, so at the very least please wear an N95 indoors and in crowds to protect disabled queers ✌️

Pride month is always a bit sad too, because there are so many queers who aren’t here to celebrate it—whether due to violence or (yet again) an illness devastating our community. Please remember covid isn’t over and the queer community faces higher rates of disability and death from it.
