it’s rather “amusing” doing mask distro at the oakland anarchist book fair where masking (kn95+) is required indoors and optional outdoors, though most folks wore them outside but you can tell who the liberal anarchists are proudly refusing to mask for the collective.

men, it’s high time we betray the fucking patriarchy!

I don't want men to be allies. I want you to be traitors. I want you to be traitors to the system that violently holds you up at the expense of women. I want you to betray the silent pact that patriarchy makes with you to have your back so long as you don't make waves. Revolt.

society despises children and we need to protect them from normalized airborne illness and ai porn at all costs! mask accordingly. *someone else’s post.
text reads:

Another reason for masking in school just dropped!
My daughter has always masked 100% of the time in school, but yesterday she pointed out to me another benefit of masking that has nothing to do with COVID.
Last year multiple kids at her school were victims of Al pOrn, where other kids fed their images into the system and created vile videos of them, so this year my daughter has said she won't even unmask when making videos at home for school projects because she doesn't want anyone to have the ability to feed her face into Al and create whatever hellscape they want.

screenshot of facebook post that reads:

The performative activism in these spaces are on my fucking nerves. Y’all really need to take a hard look at ableism this year. You can’t say you care about accessibility online and then do nothing to make real world spaces safer. Refusing simple things like wearing a mask has pushed millions of disabled folks, immunocompromised people, and elders out of public life altogether.

Accessibility isn’t just a buzzword or something you post about. It’s about everyday choices and whether you’re willing to think beyond your own comfort. If inclusion actually matters, it has to show up in how you move through the world, not just what you say online. We could have been in a better space if you all had NOT listened to the federal government. You choose when you wanna believe their lies and that makes you a part of the problem.

@beth.kao 

So COVID has hit our household. My 12 year old, who vigilantly wears a KN95 every day at school (and is one of the very very very few kids who mask at school), on the bus, and in any public indoor spaces, came down with it first. He was so tearful when his COVID test turned positive, and sobbed, "I'm so sorry I got the baby sick!" (He's referring to his baby brother.)

MY SWEET, SWEET CHILD! It is NOT your fault! You did everything that you could. One-way masking is helpful, but it's not 100% 1/

Especially when COVID cases are RAMPANT.

It really broke my heart that he took his getting sick as his own failing, when it was really the rest of society and our public health institutions that have failed us. 

This post is about the CDC's messaging around COVID mitigation strategies, especially their lack of emphasis on masking with well-fitting respirators like N95s, KN95s, and KF94s.

Dark money is a weird way for me to move personally. Cool. Anyway, most of y’all aren’t masking during one of the biggest COVID surges in years. Can we talk about the ethics of that, or are we still pretending disabled people don’t exist? Long Covid who? Didn’t most of y’all stop masking assuming the vaccine was enough community care? What happens when you can’t source a vaccine? What layer of protection then? Still nothing? Just vibes? Cool cool.

"We cannot fight for liberation without a deep, clear understanding of disability, ableism and disability justice. The bodies of our communities are under siege by forces that leverage violence and ableism at every turn. Ableism is connected to all of our struggles because it undergirds notions of whose bodies are considered valuable, desirable and disposable. How do we build across our communities and movements so that we are able to fight for each other without leveraging ableism?"

Howard Zinn (August 24, 1922 – January 27, 2010)
meme of howard zinn, white background and text reads:

“We were not born critical of existing society. There was a moment in our lives (or a month, or a year) when certain facts appeared before us, startled us, and then caused us to question beliefs that were strongly fixed in our consciousness-embedded there by years of family prejudices, orthodox schooling, imbibing of newspapers, radio, and television. This would seem to lead to a simple conclusion: that we all have an enormous responsibility to bring to the attention of others information they do not have, which has the potential of causing them to rethink long-held ideas.”
