I’m a fat, queer, mentally ill, Indigenous anarchist with a PhD in public health who grew up in Indi-fucking-ana. If you don’t think I’ve heard nearly every ding dong, nonsensical insult to ever pass through your pea brain, you’re sorely mistaken. I’m impervious to trolls. BLOCK.

If you live near the fires in CA, know wild animals are fleeing fires & may show up in your yard. Bring your domestic animals in at night & let the wild ones pass through. Put out buckets of water for them - they are scared, exhausted, and have also lost their homes!

A friend asked me today: “So are you going to live like this…forever?”
Uh, has there been ANY advancements in COVID prevention & treatment? No? Then yeah. We’re gonna live like this forever because my wife’s health risks haven’t changed & the world has decided she’s expendable.

I’ve received FOUR emails over the last 24 hours from ill students. 2 who’ve been to the ER & 2 who’ve had positive COVID tests. What the fuck are we doing? I’m so sad for my students who’ve been failed by so many “leaders.” And I’m so glad I’m teaching online.

Ok, students have been notified and things have been squared away so I want to share that I am not going to be teaching in-person this semester.
I am going to be avoiding campus as much as possible as I do not feel safe there on multiple levels (physically or mentally).

Friends — I recommend the Moldex 4800 N95 for medical visits where you’re worried about having a metal free mask. Fits great. Good seal. Haven’t had any issues.

A student jumped off a building at

To be honest, when we first got our

I change my

filter every Monday. I wear my mask about 20-30 hours/week, depending on the week. I spend ~12 hours in the classroom, 4-12 hours on campus where I wear my mask everywhere except in my office alone with the door closed & my HEPA filter on high.

This is Luna. She was assigned male at birth. She’s a bossy lady. One time we had to bring her to the vet and they asked if she was spayed…yeah, about that. Luna was actually neutered…luckily our vets didn’t skip a beat. “Ok, Luna is transgender.” I love living in CA. 🌈

7/ When I came to in the recovery room my FloMask was firmly in place. I was amazed. Although I have no idea what happened between removing the oxygen mask in the OR & arriving in recovery, the notes on my patient chart clearly showed my desire to have my mask on immediately.

10/ So my lesson to everyone today is to being strong & adamant about your health care wishes. Do your best not to feel “annoying” or “paranoid” in attempting to avoid COVID (or other things). 1 — People might surprise you. 2 — It’s not as hard as it feels to live this way!

If you trust Pfizer with your headaches, coughs, colds, allergies, arthritis, depression, anxiety, or penis, then you can probably trust the scientists who work for them on the COVID vaccination.

I’ve always been open about my mental health, but I’ve really been hanging on by a thread for the past couple months. I had an epic meltdown this morning as a result of several things & realized I cannot be physically present on campus for both my mental health & physical health.

2/ I wore my
@FloMask
proudly to the hospital & sat in the waiting room, as far away as I could from all the unmasked patients. Not a single staff member I saw was wearing a mask. After I arrived 2 different people arrived wearing masks. A serious N95 & a baggy blue (surgical).

3/ When I got moved to the triage area I again reiterated my concern about COVID and let her know I wanted to wear my FloMask as long as “medically safe” and that I had brought 2 sealed KN95s with ear loops that I wanted place on my face as soon as “medically safe” post op.

4/ I brought the KN95s because I was concerned that getting my FloMask back on post op might be “tricky” and they might not honor my request so I wanted to make it as easy as possible.

You’re making it unsafe for immunocompromised people. Your inclusion practices suck ass. I’m not tip-toeing around it. When people come into the bathroom & I’m in there, they often apologize & put their mask on. My students see it & are reminded of my request of a masked class.

I know it’s “unpopular” in these “omg, I hate my spouse, gotta build me a man cave, har har” times…but I really love my wife! Life without her would be miserable. So yeah, if wearing a mask keeps her alive that seems like a pretty easy task.

With just a week’s worth of wear you can see the visible difference between my old filter (top) and brand new filter (bottom). Even if you didn’t care about COVID (or other respiratory conditions), doesn’t it sort of gross you out how much other gunk ends up in your lungs?

When you don’t mask, you make it harder for the most vulnerable. You are not a leftist or a progressive if you continue to keep COVID circulating unabated.
OMG. 61.8% of Californian farmworkers have or had Long Covid, according to this study. These are our essential workers, who are often undocumented and have no health insurance or disability or any social safety net at all.

I think students forget how important human touch & kindness are for mental health. Being away from family is hard & lonely! If you ever need a hug, stop by my office & ask! Being a student is stressful. Sometimes a hug can turn your day around. I’ll be your surrogate auntie 🤗

Because I am transparent, I’ll share this here. Obviously this student didn’t like me. That’s ok. But let’s share both sides of the story. I’m willing to stand by my teaching methods. If this is the student I think it is, she got good grades, so I’m not sure what’s her major beef

I also wear my FloMask on miscellaneous errands so that’s where I guesstimate 20-30 hours/week of wear time. The ProFilter is rated for approximately 40 hours in “good” air conditions so changing it every Monday seems like a good solid practice.
