The day before I found out I had covid, I was tattooing a client who was immunocompromised (lupus). We both wore N95s and I have hepa filtration in my very small studio. My client did not get covid from me.
No one will ever gaslight me into thinking masks don't work. Because last year my mom brought Covid home and I didn't get it. I masked inside, even in my room with closed door + towel at the bottom. Disinfected everything + tested daily. + my mom didn't isolate or mask properly

“Isn’t it cute how he bears his teeth at me every time I do this! Look he loves it! I definitely care and understand the behavior cues my dog gives me!”
Ugh.
Never not wild to me how people who use masks get accused of being sheep when… we’re the smaller percent? No one is mandating masks? The government literally gave up on Covid? The CDC minimizes all of it? Who the hell are we being compliant to?
Our beloved elderly neighbor wanted to plan an indoor pizza party for some neighbors this weekend. We gently explained how bad covid is and she immediately retracted everyone’s invites and said “once it’s nicer weather to have it outside, we will!” 🥹❤️
My partner just tested positive for covid.
I don’t have symptoms and so far tested negative, but we were supposed to go camping for a couple days tomorrow. Not anymore.
Everything is so difficult. We try so hard to avoid getting infected. I want to *rage* at the world.
I still think you’re a solid covid cautious person if you always mask/use layers of protection as you can throughout the year, but still go to an event or two (masked) that aren’t “necessary.”
@audisdead
Literally just sat with my partner last night and discussed how we both feel things are escalating faster than we even guessed. It’s fucking dismal.
When I’m in a car I wear a seat belt. When I ride a motorcycle I wear a helmet and riding gear. When I’m in a public place I wear a mask.
You really gonna tell me I’m the one afraid to live my life, when you’re so afraid of being made fun of for wearing a mask?
If your “leftism” doesn’t include the disabled or chronically ill, in a world that almost never includes or considers them, then you’re not a fucking leftist. You’re just like everyone else.
Hope this helps.
Our little dojo doubled in size because of our COVID protocols. They attracted the kind of people we've always wanted: intelligent and humble enough to heed science, compassionate enough to take care of the community, and disciplined enough to mask while viral levels remain high.
Took this at work somewhat recently. Private studio, hepa air filter, masks required. I have multiple chronic illnesses, and I’m also aware that many people have worse. ✌️
The world is a dumpster fire but I’m grateful to have my own studio where I can keep myself and my clients safe, a great clientele, and a job where I can wear sweats every damn day 🫶

Nah pretty sure this person is trying to say that disliking kids doesn’t automatically mean you also wish them harm. I don’t like kids, but I’ll fight forever for kids to grow up safe and healthy and happy.
This black and white bullshit way of thinking is fucked up.

People who struggle beyond simple concepts: “oh yay free stuff!”
People with a brain: we are one of the richest countries with access to the best tech and 3 years into a global pandemic we get a few tests?
Both my consultations yesterday were with (young!) immunocompromised people who were grateful for a tattoo studio with covid mitigations. Still blows my mind how many tattooers are struggling to get clients right now yet refuse to mask/use an air purifier for clients.
Had a new client send me a text after her appointment yesterday to thank me for wearing a mask. So sweet!
It’s important to me to protect others while also protecting myself too. And bottom line is I can’t afford to get sick these days.
(All masked selfies taken this week.)
This is fucking wild. We watched Fauci say the disabled and immunocompromised will “fall by the wayside” and everyone just shrugged and allowed it, but asking “leftists” to simply consider the disabled instead of also ignoring them like the rest of the world is “narcissism.”
JFC it’s 2024, half of America is chronically ill, 1 in 4 are disabled, covid is everywhere. Let’s stop equating food delivery service with laziness/superiority/wealth.
Dang I have *so many* love letters in my messages. These men who claim facts don’t care about your feelings really seem to be caught up in their feelings right now, huh?
Anywho. Unvaccinated ladies, here’s your chance! I have tons of men just like this guy in my messages 💘
We play games & rent movies. We have backyard dinners. We go to the beach. We wear respirators & go to museums. We hike. We listen to podcasts & organize. We do art projects. He taught me how to sculpt, & cast my sculptures in resin. We literally began dating in 2020- masked.
“But how do you go on dates if you never indoor dine?” We’re making spicy rigatoni, listening to Frank Sinatra, and are having a candlelight dinner at home. We can also go to nature parks, an art museum masked, or literally anything else we feel like doing.
A week of daily negative rats after a covid exposure has concluded with a negative Metrix text. Can’t believe I avoided it.
My partner started Pax literal hours after his first symptom on Saturday (this is also less than 2 months after a Novavax booster)
He’s now test neg, too
Where is everyone buying their covid tests?
Costco was my place to get *cheaper* covid tests and now they don’t sell them anymore. Just wondering if I can buy them any less than $10+ per single fucking test.
I was a server for over 10 years in Chicago and the people arguing in support of indoor dining because “food delivery service exploits workers” make me fucking cackle. Y’all never worked a food service job in your lives and you’re making it pathetically obvious.
Corporate greed is Waffle House chairman, Joe Rogers Jr, worth $1.7 billion, paying Waffle House waitresses as little as $2.13 an hour & then taking $3 out of their paychecks for each on-shift meal whether they end up eating it or not. Waffle House is a $4 billion corporation.
Anyone know of something similar to this specific moisturizer? My face is a sensitive weenie and this has worked well, but we no longer support Cera Ve in this house.

“But what if it’s a stolen car?!”
Cool. You’re okay with being hit and injured or killed, you’re okay with your loved ones being hit/injured/killed by police so they can *try* to get back a piece of metal?
My art and wares at a local gallery shop. This month was a bit overwhelming with getting this all prepared, but I’m so glad to have it done and up and hopefully selling 🖤
@DeetoriaDee
Hell yes. As a tattooer, I’ve had clients later tell me they may have been positive and I didn’t get it. And when I finally had it, none of my clients I tattooed before I realized I had it got it from me. Masks fucking work.
@RealGayArbys
My neighbor texted me saying one of my many covid posts *hurt his feelings* because he had covid for the 2nd time at that moment and it wasn’t helping his anxiety about it. Dude doesn’t mask and has multiple get togethers at home.
Fuuuuuuck off

The numbers could also mean that white women are more likely to put up with and accept bullshit by a male just to on get married, that WW feel more pressure and give in, that WW feel more scared and the need to have a partner.

Americans, especially women: “Doctors don’t take me seriously.”

There is literally no rule anywhere that says “you can’t write about things you’re unhappy with unless you have a full solution.” I hate this line of thinking, and it’s usually just used to shut down any criticism that someone personally doesn’t like. Biden sucks, get over it

Men make up 98% of mass shooters and 99% of sexual harassers/rapists.
We absolutely have a fucking problem with men in our society. The facts don’t give a fuck about your feelings.
@bimbophrenia
If you’re comparing wanting to include the immunocompromised/chronically ill/disabled with “disunity/infighting,” then the revolution you refer to absolutely has not reached critical levels.
That level of “revolutionary spirit” doesn’t exist if you’re excluding that many people

It says to me “it’s okay that there are shitty people because there are always good people to help.” To not get upset with the shitty people as she herself does the work to help the situation. He doesn’t get to say that. She can get mad all she wants- SHE is the one who helped!
Seeing an RN tweet “I think you'd be better off just getting Covid and letting your body build up some immunity to it” makes healthcare feel even more out of touch with reality

I’m planning on getting one to help monitor my heart, and help me with reminders because of ADHD. A lot of people wear them for health reasons… not just for fashion.
Do people… truly not realize this?
@ChrisAlvino
Yes. This. I used to wonder how brutal public hangings were such entertainment in the past but nothing has changed. So many Americans just *froth at the mouth* over the idea of punishment. It’s terrifying.
@neontaster
You know it’s not a war. You’ve been told how this all actually started. But you don’t give a shit. You’re too busy salivating over the slaughter of innocent people.
@daddydangerbot
Spoken like someone who is probably super lonely but doesn’t want to admit it, or address the reasons why. Therapy is fantastic and a lot of places offer sliding scale rates if you have trouble affording it.
“You’re a fed if you want someone to wear a mask”
Are you all just parroting this right-wing rhetoric? It literally doesn’t make sense.
The only thing that makes sense is that a bunch of easily manipulated losers who have never cared about marginalized groups want to be edgy

I read what you said and understood it how you meant it. This person clearly just needs to fill their daily quota of feeling superior.
These falls are unprecedented in modern history. If global life expectancy fell again in 2022 (likely - numbers out later this summer) it will be the first time life expectancy has fallen for 3 consecutive years since the second world war
My super controversial opinion apparently is that you shouldn’t brag about being “novid” because you never had symptoms.
Just perpetuates the idea that no symptoms= no infection.
We had windows open and multiple air purifiers running. We wore N95s. My partner ate meals outside and I ate in the back bedroom. We slept in different rooms. It sucks but it can work 🖤

So if Hamas were hiding in a US city you’d support trapping the people inside and then leveling the city with bombs?
No. Because it’s only okay when happening to Palestinians
@RoeGraceM
I feel this way about leftist spaces that don’t mask. You want to help marginalized groups? The community? Wear a mask. Require masks at your gatherings. Do them outside. Don’t pretend to care about disabled and immunocompromised and then not wear a mask.
As a chronically ill tattooer I actually have it in my submission form that I may need to reschedule last minute. I give people a $100 discount and reschedule them within a few weeks. But I ALWAYS feel like utter trash for doing it.
Pls know that if I ever have to reschedule your tattoo appointment, I feel sick and I’m probably crying whilst messaging you because I hate letting anyone down
@bimbophrenia
If you cannot wear a mask, an incredibly simple measure to keep others safe, during a pandemic, when actual feds are trying to get the identities of protesters, then you’re just cosplaying your fucking revolution.

Men seen vaginas during sex.
Do you think it’s understandable for men to immediately think of sexual things every time they change their daughter’s diaper?
@bimbophrenia
Nothing like equating asking for mask mitigations during a pandemic that is disabling people with being reactionary and picky. 🥴
Thanks for demonstrating pure ableism for the class
@kiranfatimaopal
So instead of learning “hey maybe I should consider disabled leftists” when addressing leftists as a whole since the *entire world almost never considers them,* you’re acting like an angry, emotionally immature parent when their kid points out legit issues.
The point: every single one of these is positive.
Friends who support Palestine but don’t pay attention to covid: You don’t trust our government, why do you trust them on covid?
