I cannot stress this enough: For most people with brain fog, exercise—and strenuous mental activity counts, because cognitive work IS physical work—is a completely inappropriate treatment, and could make them substantially worse. 17/ https://t.co/Gq8iylgNqZ
That’s why people w/ brain fog struggle with concentration, multitasking, & planning—which underlie almost everything. It raises unconscious activities to the level of effortful consciousness, and makes easy tasks absurdly hard. 4/ https://t.co/Gq8iylgfBr
Despite the name, brain fog isn’t a nebulous umbrella term. It’s a disorder of executive function—the mental skills that inc. focusing attention, holding info in mind, & blocking distractors. Without that foundation, one's cognitive edifice collapses. 3/ https://t.co/Gq8iylgfBr
Damn, I hate this timeline. How about universal healthcare for all? Not just protecting the “well-insured”.

@CurtTigges@HomelessJun@michael_hoerger Squishier elastomerics can sometimes tolerate stubble (ie Envo), but for full beards it seems to be either shaving a cut out that perfectly lines up w the edges of a well fitting respirator so it seals on skin (wish I could remember who'd shown this), or the rubber sheet method
Thank you for listening to the community and standing your ground against the rising tide of fascism, @Jbrekkie! We look forward to you visiting our city someday!
At this point we need to start calling leftists who refuse to mask w/ N95s (if they have the means/ability) or use mitigations at their events counterrevolutionaries. Same goes for the decolonial folks who know damn well colonized communities are bearing the burden of this spread
I am one again asking why this country bases its ethically charged legal decisions on interpretations of a 300 yr old document written by a bunch of racist sexist rich dudes who probably didn't believe in washing their own fucking hands
@Tinu@masknerd@FixTheMask - filtration medium should be sealed to the face, meaning no side/nose gaps (like surgical), & if using something w filter insert air shouldn't be able to go around it (like the charcoal rectangles in cloth)
- air out masks between use & make sure they dry out, paper bags work
@Tinu r/masks4all & @masknerd are great resources
Off my head;
- fakes are still a problem, esp on Amazon (so stick to authorized retailers)
- KN95 has no oversight so not reliable certification, KF94 or FFP2 are better
- @FixTheMask, ear savers & added nose wires can help poor fit
