I remember pushing back against a “leftist” acquaintance here because I saw they didn’t mask at events. They said, shit you not, “I’m a leftist because I read [insert xyz theory], masking is irrelevant” 🤪 What is all that reading for if you don’t put it to practice bro like…
Everytime I mention the IDF, I'm gonna try to remember to call them the US-Backed IDF, like they do when they call every resistance group, Iran-Backed.
It’s always so revealing when people say they’ll put on a mask when an immunocompromised person is around bc they really think they can just “tell” who is disabled
Tbh i totally understand throwing caution to the wind in terms of transmissible viruses if you're going bar hopping or whatever but if you're having a bunch of meetings on how to save the world with collective community based organizing you should probably be OK w masking
What if you all mask up in public spaces just for the winter. Just to help prevent a major winter surge… just to see how it feels. It could be a vibe… what if you did that
I know it sucks to admit you were wrong when you stopped masking. It sucks to acknowledge that you’ve harmed people by spreading disease. It sucks to accept that COVID is dangerous. But you can decide RIGHT NOW to wear a high-quality mask in public spaces again. I believe in you!
what's not going to happen:
- blanket ban on prescribing HRT
- rounding up / mass arrests of trans people
what likely will:
- increase in anti-trans stochastic violence
- loss or even reversal of legal recognition (passports)
- medicare/medicaid exclusions on trans care
