reminder: probability of infection by any pathogen is dose-dependent
it's not all or nothing. wrt airborne pathogens like COVID: it is, in fact, safer to wear a mask most of the time -- even if you briefly unmask -- than it is to not wear a mask at all
@aroacespidey i'd say the kind of help you can get from a tutor isn't cheating, but the kind of help you can get from paying someone to do your work is
e.g. my work as a tutor wasn't helping people cheat, but writing a paper for my ex against my better judgment bc i still loved them was
fun fact: if you use a netflix extra member slot, you can't transfer your profile unless you first pay for your own plan
i couldn't transfer back to the account holder's main account after i moved back in with them. i had to pay $7 for my own subscription, then transfer back.
@astralopithekos@pot8um do you live somewhere without sensor plate activated stoplights?
if i did this back in southern california, there'd be a 50/50 chance that the stoplight would simply never turn green
@RealityBent esp knowing that trans ppl tend to be in community w other trans ppl & supportive cis folks, the two demographics who'd wear something like this
so in context, the number of trans ppl who'd see this would far exceed the number of transphobes
@RealityBent yeah i agree, it's really not the kind of thing i'd say anyone should wear, esp bc graphic design choices make the suicide baiting the first thing to catch the eye
statistically, this is far more likely to trigger a trans person than to have a meaningful effect on transphobes
Fascism and eugenics historically follow pandemics.
Disabled folks been trying to tell the world. What did we get? We got told to shut up and get infected.
Hard pass.
i'm sorry but wtf even is this @ABC
maybe don't just slap a reel of recent headlines in every single article? maybe just don't include a picture if there's nothing relevant to the article to include?
Wanna resist now?
Start by putting your mask back on.
Fascists have already passed several mask bans. If it’s happening under Trump maybe you’ll admit that it being illegal for you to wear a mask during public health, wildfire or environmental emergencies is wrong, & fight it.
Joe Biden kicked 23 million people off of medicaid and other increasingly necessary services as more of us became disabled due to SARS-Cov-2 because he didn't want to acknowledge the ongoing pandemic anymore.
if i see 1 more millions missing from 2020s voter pool post from someone who stopped masking in 2021 says it’s just the flu thinks there’s a summer flu or that disabled people should disappear and/or has been sick with a mystery illness for months im going to start whacking yall
particularly when those laws extend to allow people w conditions that won't affect how long they live to choose euthanasia
i guess the main point here is-- pointing out "you'll be disabled someday" could easily lead to a response like "& when that happens i'll want to die"
honestly-- i think a lot of violently ableist ppl (e.g. "if you can't work you don't deserve to live") HAVE considered the possibility that they'll become disabled someday
& they're rationalizing their own fear ("i'd rather be dead than disabled") thru political economics
to be clear-- some ppl will openly say, sometimes directly to disabled ppl, that they'd kill themselves if they were disabled in specific ways. you can find plenty of people willing to voice this opinion on social media.
it's the philosophy underlying human euthanasia laws,
for us, some of the most energy-intensive parts are:
*intensive personal hygiene routine
*cooking mostly from scratch with specific ingredients
*regularly/thoroughly cleaning the house
*detailed illness-related information logging
Chronic illness can include:
*Medications
*Doctor appts
*Imaging
*Blood work
*ER visits
*Surgeries
*Procedures
*Medical bills
*Etc
A lot of us get burnt out by it all.
it's so predatory for an Internet company to continue billing an account that hasn't connected to their network in 9 months
CLEARLY in that case, the person w the account has either been rendered incapable of canceling or has tried to cancel & the request didn't go through
so biden had an advantage-- some ppl who otherwise would've died survived
& he oversaw the end of the pandemic state of emergency (thus the end of free PCR tests at pharmacies) & the rollback of CDC data collection
when he lied & said the pandemic was over, ppl believed him.
by the numbers, way more ppl died of COVID under Biden. & that's not even accounting for the end of centralized reporting and tabulation of the death count
yes, biden was president for 4 years after the first COVID cases, trump just for 1. but vaccines were rolling out by 1/2021
Bro like fucking clockwork the liberals are trotting out the “so many people died with covid under Trump” rhetoric when these motherfuckers haven’t uttered the word covid in years & won’t mask.
COVID DIDNT MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR BECAUSE BIDEN SAID SO BABES
