Imagine any atrocity, and then realize that COVID-19 transmission is always simultaneously happening during it, for those who are luckier, silently, until their bodily damage and disability gets louder.

Itās so hard having a conflict over COVID precautions because you canāt even talk about it with other people because you will always be the problem to COVID denialists

@JeromeAdamsMD The virus has only become more pernicious since 2020 according to the studies. If anything itās barely begun to clear its throat. Most people are totally unaware of the primal scream to come.

As the ceasefire took effect, Palestinians in Gaza are trying to restore the bare essentials of a decent life, clearing rubble and rebuilding whatever they can amid the devastation.

You're not allowed to make fun of RFK Jr. and MAHA if you don't mask. Sorry, you're all on the same side.

Youāre far closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming a billionaire. Theyāre not choices or moral failings. They can happen in an instant from an infection, accident, job loss or sudden illness. Theyāre minority groups you can join at any time.

I canāt warn my family about anything or help them be more prepared (wet bulb conditions, war propaganda, new disease threats) because they dismiss everything I say, bc they bought into the Covid is over propaganda and I didnāt, and therefore every opinion I have is invalid.

Sly Stone and Brian Wilson in the same week. Two genuine visionaries who gave us so much, suffered so much, and both retreated from the outside world for long stretches of time, burrowing inside themselves, as their music became raw materials for entire genres and sub-genres.

We had a chance for a better world in 2020 but society threw it away for a significantly worse one. And for what? Restaurants? 2019-style vacations? It's all so sad and pointless.

folks really gotta start questioning how radical they really are because not being covid cautious during this mass disabling event is at odds with being inclusive, accessible, intentional, community oriented, creating safe space, practicing consent, siding with the marginalized.

The reasons to wear a mask are numerous, whereas the reasons NOT to wear a mask are basically just āitās slightly inconvenientā and āthe worst people on earth will give me weird looks for itā
This is how contagious measles is. Someone can walk into a room cough or sneeze then walk out of the room. An unvaccinated person can walk into the same empty room two hours later and get infected. It's one of the most contagious diseases in the world.

Oh hey, sorry Iāve been acting weird, everything that was once fun, spontaneous, and whimsical now requires extensive risk calculations and appropriate mitigations, and is no longer fun, spontaneous, or whimsical. My bad.

I am Zero Covid because we still don't have mandatory paid sick leave, a neutralizing vaccine, Long Covid treatments, or clean air. I am Zero Covid because 400 million and counting are disabled and thousands are dying each week. I can't believe there are people who are not.
@g_shullenberger Canāt believe there are Zero Covid people in 2025 besides Taylor Lorenz

You never hated lockdowns, you hated that you were forced to pause without distractions long enough to look into the mirror and you recoiled so hard from what you saw you decided to just shoulder a brain damaging virus forever so that you never have to experience that again.

Bill Maher is trash. Real leftists and liberals realized this long ago and abandoned his shitty racist/sexist viewpoints for greener pastures. I gave up on his bullshit when he insisted on having a laugh track for his show during the earliest months of the pandemic.
NEW: Bill Maher torches the LA Mayor for picking the ābest lesbianā as fire chief instead of the best person. āThatās not good enough.ā āAm I against a lesbian being chief? Of course not. Do I think a lesbian can do the job? Of course, I do. And maybe sheās the best person for
