I’ve been wearing a surgical mask at work for the past week, roughly 76 hours over 5 days. I know there are concerns about how masking affects health, wellness, and human connection, so I would like to offer a thread detailing the various ways that this has affected me:

When you hear the dudes whining how women only like 20% of the men (unreliable stat from a misinterpreted Okcupid stat from forever ago), this should be the response.
@AfroHumanism remember, hating bad people for doing bad things doesnt mean you hate their identity. their actions have nothing to do with that. dont let them trick you into thinking youre bad for calling them out for these actions. especially when theres jewish people who hate them too!
Steve Scalise voted:
- to cut Veterans benefits by 22 percent
- against providing healthcare to Veterans with cancer
- to overturn the 2020 election.
A vote for Steve Scalise is a vote against Veterans and the country we swore to protect.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Rep. Rashida Tlaib displaying a Palestinian flag outside her office. Her parents are Palestinian Americans. The Palestinian people are not synonymous with Hamas. Some of y'all need to focus on what's important instead of nonsense like this.
Many of you seem to be forgetting that Israelis have been engaging in unprecedented protests of Netanyahu & the far right government this past year. Don’t conflate Israeli civilians with the actions of their govt. Dont conflate Palestinians with Hamas
Ajike Owens’ children were playing in a field near an apartment complex when a white woman yelled racial slurs at them and said to get off her land.
The children left behind an iPad which she stole. When one of the children came back to retrieve it she threw it at him and hit him with it.
Owens knocked on the woman’s door and without even opening it she shot through the door, killing Ms. Owens.
The only reason I’m not worried about it is I am lucky enough to also have coverage under @HUSKYHealthCT. Husky has been a literal lifesaver this past year, and I am forever grateful for the #AffordableCareAct. Please join me in supporting #SinglePayer healthcare 🙏
I was recently admitted to the hospital for a kidney infection and resulting sepsis, and had to have several days of IV antibiotics, several times a day.
Yesterday I got a letter from @UHC denying coverage for my admission. According to them, it wasn’t medically necessary.
