Four years ago today, President Biden said, "The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID." At the time, we were in the 5th COVlD wave. We're now in the 13th.

Same, it is extra hard and heavy right now. And then I’ll open my phone and it just feels exponentially worse. It can feel like a really soul crushing time to be alive. Sending hugs of solidarity.

I really hope this passes and other states follow. Everyone continues to get sicker but we pretend that ignoring airborne viruses is still acceptable. In a country with a horrible healthcare situation, no less. Protecting your health (& those around you,) is essential and obv should be a right.

Lots of people care, Joshua. People with immunecompromised children, elderly parents, people going through cancer, people with chronic illnesses, people who don’t want debilitating Long Covid so they can’t work/take care of their families. People who pay attention to what Covid does to human bodies.

There’s a wide variety of different types and sizes now, adjustable straps like WellBefore brand, a kids size might work for her as well. BreatheTeq makes a size small and they’re great. Cloth masks offer little protection and they’re harder to breathe in

People are complaining that for two hours in the early morning on one single day, the Exploratorium in San Francisco will require respirator masks. Never mind that this allows disabled and immune compromised kids to safely share in something they’re otherwise excluded from. Fuck them kids.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

A gentle reminder that "Mount Rushmore" was carved by a KKK-associated white supremacist as a deliberate defacement of a sacred Lakota site, much as the same chud defaced Stone Mountain in Georgia to create a tribute to the Confederacy and white supremacy www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020... 1/x

She wrote about not vaccinating her kids many years ago in her book. Apparently she did say later that she eventually did catch them up, but has been outspoken about how she thinks we give too many/too young/too close together, etc

Yet another article acting as if ppl locked themselves away for years & as usual leaving out the brain-damaging virus that most kids have had at least once if not many times by now. Ridiculous to not factor in infections, long covid, and how kids are sick much more often (& absent more) as a result.

Israel kidnapped 211 European Nationals this morning 1,000km from Israel, for committing the great crime of trying to bring food to Gaza where people are dying every day from starvation. You won't see this on the news though, and no major politician will mention it.

That urge was so strong! This was an office that masked longer than most, but I got, “well it’s not really flu and covid season,” and my “it’s always covid season,” didn’t go over well. She finally conceded and put on a KN95, was inches from my face for 20+mins for Echo and was angry the whole time🙄

Saw one on the floor of the imaging office a few weeks ago, while a lady waiting near me coughed up a lung the whole time. The worst is the cardiologist that still has the signs up about masks, but they haven’t masked in so long & gave me a hard time when I asked them to wear one in the room w/me

A green typed sign taped to a wall that reads “if you are seen without your mask on or being worn incorrectly at any time, you will be asked to leave our office immediately. This is for the safety of our patients and our staff. Thank you.”

There’s def still a lot of us gen x with kids in school, but yeah this is really sad, that they couldn’t even get silhouette is wild. My high schooler is really smart but I’d guess he’s never come across gauche. He’d still probably be able to take a guess on the gist using context though.
