remember, anything that happens to “other people” can, and may very well, happen to you. one of the gravest errors someone can make is thinking that “individual risk assessment” is a valid, humane, and logical way to DIY an ongoing pandemic. your actions matter and you don’t exist inside your own one-way bubble where unmasking only affects you. remember in 2020 when there was all kinds of bizarre messaging around how “masks protect others more than they protect the wearer” (not true, btw—you protect yourself from inhaling others’ exhaled germs, and you protect others from catching your exhaled germs when you wear a non-cloth well-fitting mask or respirator!) and it felt so disappointing to realize how very few people seemed to give a fck about protecting YOU bc they weren’t masking consistently, or at all? well, that’s still how it feels nowadays, when wealthy (and 99% of the time white, and 50% or more of the time cis men) people collect endless gadgets to make their lives Covid-safer, without giving a second thought to how they might be excluding LITERALLY everyone else from their half-assed “risk assessments”. [and yeah, I’m subtweeting someone who brought an air purifier and 2 mini FAR UVC lights to a restaurant so he could dine indoors. as someone else pointed out, he had at least $600 worth of gadgets on his table so he could eat some pale, unappetizing food indoors. and instead of keeping this Choice™️ to himself, he decided to post it with a caption along the lines of “we have the tools.” k] THANK YOU for not giving up your precautions even when it feels like the whole world is one giant judgment against your personhood. . . . . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid #springfashion #springstyle

recently, someone (who followed this account!) commented that these posts are just a form of “Covid cautious” (I reject that term) people “feeling sorry for [ourselves]” because apparently social media carousels featuring anecdotes & personal experiences are not worth as much as “the science” to them. they also said something to the effect of “pity parties [posts commiserating over the state of the world wrt Covid] won’t change people’s minds.” this lone interaction didn’t bother me in and of itself, but it got me thinking about how most people can’t or won’t read scientific studies/literature bc they’re largely inaccessible to the majority—so, aren’t anecdotes and personal experiences much more likely to “change people’s minds” de facto? it’s not that deep…just thinking and thinking about the “value” of running an account like this. most people seem to take comfort and strength from anecdotes and personal experiences (as y’all have commented/messaged many times before), and I think the act of platforming real people with their own thoughts and ideas is way more likely to get others (who don’t know and/or don’t care about Covid) on board. I’m not a scientist or doctor. I would love to learn more and create accessible content that lays out the hard science of Covid for anyone who’s interested. but this is social media and sometimes it’s also just okay to do what I do and hope it resonates with others along the way. . . . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid #springfashion #springstyle
wearing a high quality mask or respirator = love for yourself and every single person you encounter 💪🏼 it’s also a critical form of protection for people who can’t consent to being infected, namely children as well as everyone who cannot wear a mask for specific medical reasons (e.g. they have a tracheotomy) 😷 . . . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid #springfashion #springstyle

Covid never went away. “It’s still going around?” “It’s back?!” YES. BELIEVE IT. Now picture their blank expression when I say “it never went away….” Usually I’m met with a nervous (?) laugh and then nada. Why are we afraid to talk about Covid? Why are we afraid to even say the word? As @therealsalamasina said: that means we’d have to contend with it—we as in the deniers, the minimizers, and as a society. But the longer we wait to talk about it, and maybe even work through some of the grief, the less control we have over the situation—the pandemic at large, our health, the health of our families—sonot even saying “Covid” makes even less sense, now, in 2024, because we’ve had plenty of time to sit apart from the grief & not even feel it a tiny bit. Grieving takes a long time, maybe even forever, and it’s wrong to assume that everyone grieves the same or takes the same amount of time to work through it. Personally, I am still grieving losses that happened 10+ years ago—the intensity of the feelings has subsided over time, but when I take time to really feel those feelings, it’s all dredged up again. And it sucks sometimes but there’s nothing ~wrong~ with doing so. I think that the overwhelming elements of grief will not dissipate until they’re acknowledged and—to some extent—worked through. So really, what are we waiting for? . . . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid #springfashion #springstyle

one of the most critical elements missing from many people’s understanding of Covid safety is community care. it’s nice when we have the knowledge and resources to protect ourselves and the people in our immediate social bubble, but we can’t lose sight of the collective safety of entire communities, neighborhoods, towns, cities, etc. . . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid #springfashion #springstyle

Repost @covidsafebrooklyn: it’s been said many times before: taking consistent Covid precautions IS feasible. very feasible, in fact. if you have knowledge and resources, your job is to share those with your community to keep everyone safe. arguably, it’s not feasible to expect everyone to live up to the same standards as you due to the simple fact that we don’t start out with the same resources (e.g. access to high quality PPE)—but you can only control your own behavior & do your best to educate and provide resources to others, to the extent YOU are able to. we can’t force everyone to mask/test consistently, but we can certainly model that behavior and call others IN to do the same. (and you better believe we can call others OUT when they definitely *could* be doing better but choose not to bc they just love bars and brunch so damn much 🫢) . . . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid #springfashion #springstyle

despite the fact that wastewater data in the US has fallen since January/February, do NOT let up on your precautions! it’s always better to do a little more than necessary, as opposed to less & suffer repeat infections as a result. stay safe my friends—spring is going to be here very soon 🌷 . . . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid #springfashion #springstyle

I was saying this ages ago. Not even apologetic about it at this point. All those folks giving me side eye for four years of precautions? Yeah, at least my organs aren’t failing. My hair isn’t falling out. IQ not dropping due to cognitive decline; no additional stroke risk. I’m going into middle age running on all cylinders available to me, I’ve protected those I care about, and I’ve given out more masks than I can count. A clear conscience is a healthy thing indeed.

March Break Day 2: @agotoronto The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). It has been quite a while since we have been back here. They have some cute craft activities for March Break, inflatable furniture on the main floor with videos and later included a dance party; and a fun scavenger hunt activity book that “little helper” really enjoyed as we walked through looking at art. Of course since we were in the area a visit to Grange Park was on high request. * * * #ago #artgallery #artgalleryofontario #lifewithkids #marchbreak #sahm #homeschool #grangepark #art #parenting #chronicpainandparenting #masktogether #maskup #toronto #torontolife

🦴 in ur bones 🌐 Image Description: A black and white poster with a bold black outline. The top left and bottom right corners cut in at an angle matching the italicized headline. Behind the top left corner is a white globe figure with black latitudinal and longitudinal lines. The top fifth of the poster is black, connecting with the outline. The top text reads “viral persistence” and underneath in a larger bold white font with black outlines reads “in your bones.” – To the right is a set of bones with geometric mesh outlines. The bones extend beyond the top black section, with white lines on the black background, and black lines on the white background below. Below the top black section is a white background with low-opacity and slightly blurred topographical lines. There is a black horizontal bar extending out from the black outline, containing the question “did u know this yet?” - below that is text reading “covid* can stay in your bone marrow, causing lasting damage to your immune system:” - to the left of the text, in the black outline is text corresponding to the asterisk, reading “*SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID.” Below is a speech bubble, with images of a T Cell, mitochondria, and a B Cell. A black bar runs below the images, labeling each. Below T Cells reads “when t cells stay constantly activated against covid, they get exhausted, resulting in chronic immune damage.” Below mitochondria, “the virus binds to proteins in mitochondria, hijacking cell energy production in several organs.” Below B Cells, “acute covid cases can cause imbalances in b cells, resulting in increased inflammation.” The speech bubble leads to a 3D skeleton sitting with its legs crossed. It's reading from a laptop, holding a phone up to its head. The skeleton is encased by a rectangle, with a bold outline containing an image of an american flag. To the left of the skeleton is a QR code titled “FREE MASKS” and below the QR reads “MASKS WORK.” To the right is text reading “additionally… each infection increases risk of long covid.” At the bottom, within the black outline of the design, is small white text that reads “do you believe that it can’t happen to you?"
one of these days, I’ll have enough energy to write a thoughtful caption. for now, please continue sharing and spreading awareness about how dangerous, but preventable, Covid infection is! this online community is growing and—I can only hope—impacting people who had dropped precautions and/or were on the fence about resuming masking and adopting new prophylactics. even tho I personally find it difficult to consistently giving grace to those people who stopped taking precautions, it matters that they started again and it matters that maybe a social media post helped get them there 💜 . . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid

Happy International Women’s Day to: The women who are still masking. The women who recognize that we’re still in an airborne pandemic and want to do their part to slow the spread. The women who want to protect the more vulnerable members of their community. The women who want disabled and immunocompromised people to be included in society instead of abandoned. The women who acknowledge that some people can’t mask for medical reasons so it’s important to protect them. The women who understand that self-care and individualism are not effective tools against a global pandemic. The women who practice community care. The women who recognize that it’s wrong to protest one gen0cide while participating in another, so they mask at protests. The women who are willing to put the safety of themselves and others over their comfort and convenience. Thank you for still masking. Thank you for still caring about others. Thank you for making me feel less alone. You are the ones who should be celebrated today. ♥️😷 ID: A colourful grid with illustrations of women wearing masks. Across some of the colourful boxes are the words “Happy women’s day to the women still masking.”

Protect disabled lives. Wear a mask in public. ♿️😷 I’ve teamed up with @makewavescollective again to design another shirt for something I’m very passionate about - protecting disabled lives! We are still in an airborne pandemic that disproportionately impacts disabled people. Because everyone has stopped masking and given up most other protective measures, disabled people are forcibly removed from society. It’s becoming more and more impossible for us to safely access healthcare, work, shopping for essentials, leisure activities, travel and socializing. An easy way to do your part to make sure your disabled community members can be included is to simply wear a mask in public. I’m talking a good quality, well-fitted respirator like a kn95/n95 or better. So we made this shirt to help get the message out. $5 from the sale of each shirt will be donated to @donatemask - an organization that has been working diligently to get n95 respirators and rapid tests to those who need them and can’t afford them. They recently donated 1500 masks to me that are being distributed throughout our community to marginalized folks. If you or your organization are in need of masks you can fill out a form on their website. I love this org so much! The link to order this shirt is in my bio. Worldwide shipping available. Remember to mask up to save lives. ✌🏻 ID: A retro looking ad for a new tshirt design. There is a black background with lots of colourful doodles around. In the centre is a picture of Lisa sitting in her wheelchair wearing a light blue shirt with an illustration of a person using a wheelchair and rainbow text that reads “protect disabled lives. Wear a mask in public.” Below that is info about $5 from each shirt being donated to Donate a Mask.

current events 🌐 - - Image Description: A slideshow of grayscale sequential stills of Squidward’s April Fools prank from the Nickelodeon show Spongebob Squarepants, with a screenshot of COVID-related headlines superimposed on each still. Slide 1: Spongebob is cleaning up a spill, unwittingly surrounded by a lasso. The headline reads “The Great Return: Companies Are Calling Their Workers Back to the Office as COVID-19 Fades” The subhead reads “Businesses are showing flexibility in bringing employees back to the office as they deal with an extraordinarily tight job market.” Slide 2: Squidward is ecstatically cutting the anchored rope which leads to Spongebob. The headline reads “New CDC isolation and quarantine guidelines confuse some and raise questions.” Slide 3: Spongebob, with the lasso now constricted around his ankles, flies toward bags of flour. The headline reads ”Millions of Americans suffer from long COVID. Why do treatments remain out of reach?“ Slide 4: Squidward watches the trap unfold with fists clenched and a malicious smirk. The headline reads “CDC's new COVID metrics can leave individuals struggling to understand their risk” accompanied by a comparison of the CDC’s confusing changes of the community levels map. Slide 5: Spongebob, now coated in flour, is being violently spun around a beam, with clouds of flour puffing in all directions. The headline reads “Covid-19 Rises Again, and Masks Are Back on the Table” and the subhead says “Schools and offices are monitoring cases and telling people to stay home when sick.” Slide 6: Squidward is enjoying this scene to the fullest. He is laughing hysterically, eyes bulging, with visible veins on his forehead. The headline reads “FIRST ON CNN: CDC set to stop tracking community levels for Covid-19.” Slide 7: A crowd of Krusty Krab patrons observe the scene in horror. The headline reads “They were handing out free masks outside an Albuquerque hospital. Then security stepped in.”The subhead says “New mutual aid network distributing thousands of masks, want health care settings to keep or return masking safety measures.” Descriptions for Slides 8-10 in comments and ALT text due to character limit
“Covid-safe for me but not for thee” is how the CDC operates. have you called them to make a comment on their new proposed guidelines (1 day of isolation/exiting isolation maskless after 24 hours without a fever when Covid positive)? if so, what kind of response have you gotten? . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid

it’s Black History Month & I know that means you’re thinking about what the phrase “living your life” means to Black people versus what it means to non-Black people in year five (5) of the current pandemic. . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #covidsafetymeasures #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #blackhistoryeveryday #blackhistorymonth #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid
it’s Black History Month & I know that means you’re working to reframe your “Covid conscious” politic into one that centers disability justice—including but definitely not limited to Covid-related disability—since ableism and anti-Blackness do nothing but fuel one another. . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #covidsafetymeasures #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #blackhistoryeveryday #blackhistorymonth #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid
it’s Black History Month & I know that means that, if staying indoors for the initial few months of the pandemic felt like oppression to you, you’re reflecting EXTRA hard on how little oppression you’ve actually faced in your life :) . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #covidsafetymeasures #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #blackhistoryeveryday #blackhistorymonth #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid
🚨🚨🚨 MEASLES INFO 🚨🚨🚨 please share! Measles is: 1) airborne (spread via teeny aerosols when people exhale) 2) can be contracted via droplets (produced by sneezes and coughs) that land on surfaces 3) can be deadly, particularly to infants, young children, and those who haven’t been vaccinated (with MMR) of any age 4) PREVENTABLE. WEAR AN N95! 😷 Get vaccinated (the majority of adults can safely receive MMR vaccines) and/or boosted if you didn’t receive all of your childhood vaccines! You can also get your measles titers checked via blood test IF you’re not sure about which vaccines you got or when! Titers show how many antibodies your body does/doesn’t have against a specific pathogen/disease—i.e. whether you’ll mount a sufficient immune response if your body encounters that pathogen. . . . . #covidisnotover #covidisairborne #covidisntover #wearamask #weararespirator #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #covidsafe #covidconscious #upgradeyourmask #sarscov2 #covidcautious #wemask #masktogether #publichealth #eattherich #childrensrights #diseaseprevention #brooklyn #nyc #newyorklife #measles #measlesoutbreak #tripledemic #fluseason #rsv #longcovid
pretend world 🌐 - - Image Description: A black and white poster with a bold black outline with rounded corners. On the bottom of the poster, inside the black outline, is small white text which reads “it will never be 2019 again” The top fourth of the poster is black, connecting with the black outline. The top text in large bold black capital letters reads “choose one” and underneath in a smaller font reads “‘there’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path’ -morpheus from the movie the matrix.” To the left of this quote, there is a large dark grey outline of quotation marks, spanning the height of the quoted text. Below the top black section is a white background with low-opacity and slightly blurred topographical lines, which contains the remainder of the described graphics. There are two low-poly outlined humanoid heads facing opposite directions. The head on the left is wearing a black mask covering their mouth and nose, and the head on the left is wearing a black blindfold. The heads are superimposed on a line graph showing covid cases, hospitalizations, and deaths from 2020 to 2023. The left head is labeled “acceptance” and the right is labeled “denial.” Both the mask and blindfold are detailed with low-opacity white matrix-style falling numbers. Below this figure is a QR code titled “FREE MASKS” and below the QR code reads “MASKS WORK.” To the right of the QR are two questions in a black rectangle with rounded corners, with white topographical lines in the background. The top question, contained within a smaller white rectangle asks “who told you masks don’t do anything?” and the bottom question, in the encasing black rectangle, asks “why were you so eager to believe it?” To the right of the questions is a sideways barcode, with a cutout on the right side centered vertically. In the cutout is black text that says “@covidrealism” - below the barcode is a white globe figure with black latitudinal and longitudinal lines.
