The final two iron lung using polio survivors who had made it this far were killed by Covid.
70 years of survival ended by everyone else deciding that it was fine to infect them so we could all go get brunch.
In Spring 2020, I offered to source and find funding for hepa filters for the schools our children attended.
One headteacher replied that air filters would stop children catching 'essential viruses' . 🙄
Ignorance kills.
So does hope, but it's a better way to go.
Covid is oncogenic.
One of the reasons many of us still wear respirators is because we know the long term effects of repeated Covid infections and want to protect our health.
There’s been a steady rise in cancer, cardiac disease, sudden death and disability.
Mask up!
I don't know who needs to hear this but
You're not as radical a leftist as you think you are if you're not masking in shared air and participating in mutual aid
I will never forget listening to a friend vividly describe a “terrible blind date”.
She was describing rape.
She was describing forcible penetration without consent.
She just wasn’t using the word “rape” or “sexual assault”.
She downplayed what happened as a coping tool.
Same dude who refused to mask after getting Covid and admitting the infection greatly reduced his lung capacity
If the guy who puts 2 mil on his body a year is getting fucked over by Covid, what chance do we have?
know your masks:
respirator masks protect the wearer and community, as they reduce the spread of viruses or breathing polluted air, whereas neck gaiters are worn primarily by those terrorizing the community, upholding the status quo, and concealing their identity in the process.
I can't tell you how frustrating it is that the disability community is ignored in almost every way and yet we're the only minority group you can join at any time. You can run ten miles a day and watch what you eat but disability is inevitable with age, accident, or illness.
Bleakest thing about sex with men has been that most of them, especially straight guys, react to my consent checks first with confusion, then frustration as they wonder whether I’m trying to emasculate them, and finally a haunted look as they realize what their reactions imply.
i just told a guy i don’t want kids
he said “if you got pregnant
i’d make you keep it”
i blocked him immediately
because that’s not a difference of opinion
that’s a reproductive coercion always...
You literally cannot divorce the sentiment of “everyone is getting stupider” from the reality of the ongoing pandemic. We learned very early on that COVID causes brain damage. No one tests or bothers to mask anymore. What did you all think was going to happen lmao
While over 3000 forest fires have taken place this year he announced a new pipeline and then couldn't host a Canada day event due to extreme weather from climate change
Everyone who stopped masking the moment they were told it was “safe” helped contribute to these ugly laws.
Disabled and vulnerable people tried to warn you.
We begged for solidarity.
We needed to normalize masking to ensure it wasn’t criminalized.
And Carney here is pushing to steal even more of our money for another fucking pipeline that will accelerate this kind of weather events
We need to put a stop to all these supposed leaders trying to drive us all off the cliff
Merz flagged “exorbitant levels of sick leave in companies following the pandemic”
The pandemic isn’t over.
The pandemic isn’t being mitigated.
The sick leave is because we’re in a mass disabling event that most people are choosing to ignore.
It will only get worse.
