@RndmStreetMedic@Cyaphide@KatanaSpeaks@laymagdalene yes, donate to maskbloc latam via adsinternacional on paypal or go to https://t.co/W3GokYQkvO and reach out there, we always accept donations and these funds go entirely to providing masks to local communities
popping in from hiatus to recommend thinking twice before donating to a random white guy who swoops in at the eleventh hour donning a homemade cape
who is at all other times uninterested in practicing public health within his own communities...
...who has blocked multiple mask bloc accts and disabled people when held accountable for appearing maskless at countless protests...
...and making sure he doesn't leave a protest without getting a mic in his hand and having someone snap his photo.
mentioning mask blocs is awesome!
so is accountability.
unblock the mask blocs then.
and for the love of god, mask up.
and instead, PLEASE donate directly to Cuban aid funds in the coming days, get your hands on some respirators, PUT ONE ON, distribute them to Cuba and throughout your own communities, start walking the fucking walk.
masks work. anyone whining about it and pointing two hands' worth of fingers elsewhere to deflect from their own abandonment of public health and complicity in an ongoing mass disabling event,
is a weak-willed crybaby who needs to spend less time kicking the can down the road and more time reckoning with their aversion to the material reality of a post-2020 world.
it really is that simple.
this "cuba has tourists so its okay for me as an aid worker to not take hygiene precautions" is wild. I live in Mexico, we have a measles outbreak rn bc of white tourists bringing disease here. everyone who does this sucks.
if the island is suffering from a severe lack of resources and multiple blackouts that impede medical care, why would you bringing more disease help in the slightest
if you’re whining and moaning over being criticized for not wearing PPE to an *island* nation under blockade…
a) good intentions do not apply to pathogens
b) DO YOU KNOW THE ROLE OF DISEASE IN CARIBBEAN HISTORY?!
@OhHaiBae I think her worst habit is employing the Black radical tradition as a costume/aesthetic while simultaneously being anti-Black via her pro-capitalist “best revenge is your paper” rhetoric but ok
covid is like if everyone u know was in a house fire 3-6 yrs ago, and it stressed them out so much that they begin unplugging smoke detectors and throwing away fire extinguishers so they don't have to think about it. and if when their house catches fire again, they just ignore it
@TheStefanSmith 1/2 I don’t agree. Liberals co-opted and then conservatives fully bastardized the language & meaning of the terms “woke”, “CRT”, DEI”, “ANTIFA”… they didn’t even ideate a similar term to denigrate the original. They just declared the originals to mean something else
