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.
leftists who no longer wear masks despite covid steadily disabling and killing folks and especially impacting some of the most marginalized amongst us (i.e. people with disabilities, immunocompromised), i’m honestly curious how you justify your behavior?
very few folks wear masks when flying these days despite all the filthy fucking coughing i am constantly hearing/seeing around me! tsa agent guy asked about my shirt with a fair amount of worry in his voice…
honestly if u didnt notice the parallel between covid & palestine. literally while 5 of my fam members died of covid ppl was on here tellin me "its not that serious, i been traveling & been ok, stop bein an alarmist". to this day yall dont care like 10 million ppl died.
yo! i’m glad we made it to the anarchist book fair! i haven’t adequately processed how impressed i was with being amongst that many leftists or people in general wearing high quality masks—like in the entirety of this pandemic i’ve never experienced this if i’m being honest.
“accessibility” info for the 2023 bay area anarchist bookfair:
*we’ll give folks w/disabilities/immunocompromised/otherwise covid conscious community the 1st 1.5hr. but then you’ll get to see your average sometimey leftists smile in your face when they abandon masks & you again.
abled folk need to know that you don’t need to be immunocompromised, have disabilities or even directly interact w/those who do to be covid cautious. w/humanity intact i’m the healthiest i’ve ever been by siding w/the marginalized & not playing catch w/covid like the masses have
furthermore, single mask wearing individuals, you deserve family, friends, partners, and community that seek to protect you and themselves by also wearing masks and otherwise taking covid seriously for the sake of the collective!
i question leftists who claim they’re for labor rights and somehow patronize businesses maskless where the staff are wearing them. so you say you’re for sick pay, how about not getting people sick to begin with!?
dope, dope, dope! today my professor who was going to bring pie for folks to eat on the last day of class just shouted me out in class regarding covid not being over and we're not gonna compromise the health of others for sweet treats in our women and gender studies class, kids!
“rest in power” and “say their/his/her name” applied to deceased non-black people sounds a lot like “all lives matter.”
*your anti-blackness is showing.
you’re infinitely shitty leaders of this inherently inhumane system easily convinced you that covid is over and yet they’re steadily protecting themselves and laughing at the masses while you all get sick and die for capitalism. job well done.
you’re like, “i’m so down for the community!”
*high risk and otherwise covid cautious folk ask you to wear a high quality mask in public.
and you’re like, “oh, not like that—not that community.”
i’d like to hear from the former “mask slackers” who have recently started wearing masks again or if there are even any former anti-maskers in the audience, i’d like to read from you as well—what brought you to being covid cautious now?
abled folk, not sure if you know this but immunocompromised ppl actually have to assess how high their medical needs are before going to the hospital to get care because w/many hospitals not having mask mandates it puts them at risk of catching covid (could be critical or fatal).
imagine if it had been "mask and relax" rather than "vax and relax," we probably wouldn't be 5-fucking-years and counting (down our collective demise)!
so-called comrades, your maskless antics in the era of covid are far from radical, if anything they’re ableist and straight up antithetical to the politics you allegedly subscribe to.
i don’t know about you but when i see entirely black and brown staff working at the grocery store wearing masks and of the shoppers not wearing masks most are white i get so furious! talk about know your fucking enemy.
“I have autoimmune issues, and I’m not able to go out without a mask and super caution. I feel left behind by the rest of the public moving on with their normal lives without masks. It’s like my illness is making me pay twice!”
massive props to youth still rockin’ masks in the face of this mass disabling and eugenics event especially when countless adults who are meant to be responsible for your safety (i.e. guardians, family, educators, coaches, etc.) are actually compromising your health and wellness!
i can’t believe that you people are still inside restaurants with all the windows and doors closed and your mouths open just chewing and coughing as if covid isn’t also on the damn menu!
hey, i’m kevin! i’m on ohlone land (oakland, ca), and i refuse to accept that infections and reinfections are inevitable - i will continue to wear a respirator to protect myself and others to break the chain of transmission. “holler if ya’ hear me!”
Hi, I’m Violet! I'm in San Francisco, and I refuse to accept that infections and reinfections are inevitable - I will continue to wear a respirator to protect myself and others to break the chain of transmission. Will you join me?

such flawed logic especially when you’re ignoring the fact that the mass containment, exploitation, and murdering of cows for their milk, babies, flesh, and skin are far more destructive to the planet than a few “vegan” belts. aim at pleather if plastic is truly the problem.
to each and every person still wearing a high quality mask in public in the face of an ongoing pandemic that the masses have turned their backs to, i see you, i appreciate you, and i am you!
Who knew that one paparazzi picture of Violet Garner wearing our crewneck (which donates 100% of profits to
@piousprojects
for Gaza ) would help us donate over $120,000 in a week after the zionists decided to make it such a big deal 😂 Free Palestine!
in-home covid testing!! this is fricken fantastic and this service should have been the standard since the damn beginning of this never ending pandemic! thanks for making testing more accessible, premium health!
Studies show white people are less likely to wear a mask, less worried about spreading COVID to others, and are less supportive of safety measures after learning COVID disproportionately harms communities of color. If you are a leftist that's ignoring COVID, what are you doing?
if we’re being honest the age of covid has revealed that an obscene amount of people of varying identities, politics, etc. have long embraced this mass disabling and eugenics event, which directly affects them and their respective communities so i’m not even slightly surprised.
black folks, we're talking about 2023, not 2020, covid is far from over, don't believe the hype! our kids aren't struggling with the flu, hayfever or allergies, covid is still disabling and killing us!

covid conscious person clearly still wearing a mask in the face of this ongoing pandemic, if your companion is unmasked along side you in public they’re clearly demonstrating their lack of regard for your health/existence and they’re outwardly abandoning you like society has.
co-parenting when the two parents are no longer in perfect alignment with being covid cautious is by far my least favorite thing about this never ending pandemic!
seriously though, i am so damn attracted to folks wearing masks in the face of a culture that thrives off our indifference to sickness and death in this never ending covid era.
yo! if you’re protesting any form of oppression in these streets and you’re still not wearing a mask in the face of a mass disabling and eugenics event you’re really fuckin’ up and have a warped concept of justice and liberation.
This is undoubtedly a lovely gesture, but wearing a KN95 mask like her is the solidarity immunocompromised folk need over a shaved head any day.
#WearAMask
and in case you didn’t get the memo self-proclaimed radical folk not siding with the marginalized in the era of covid, do know that we see you as the selfish, individualistic, ableist, status quo upholding frauds that you are.
i’m still trying to make sense of folks who will wear a mask and in some cases a higher quality one on planes, but will eat at restaurants or drink alcohol at bars obviously maskless.
i still haven’t cracked the code on the pairs of people i’ve seen throughout this never ending pandemic where only 1 wears a mask in an effort to protect themselves & others from covid & like pilot fish who accompany sharks the maskless one breathes in all the covid around them.
the maskless masses honestly don’t know the first thing about consent because you’ve all been informed repeatedly throughout this never ending pandemic that many of us don’t want covid period. your selfish & reckless behavior has and will continue to dictate the lives of others.
i’ve never trusted this “novid” nonsense, which is why saying, “haven’t had covid to my knowledge” is more honest because unless folks have been steadily getting pcr tests throughout the pandemic i just don’t believe the hype. asymptomatic covid is still having covid.
update on howard zinn book fair “against amnesia”:
looks like facebook has some value from time to time. despite folks mostly fronting on my related post(s), those that the message was for got it and responded!
In a turnaround from 2020’s strict stay-at-home COVID protocols, students can now go to class even if they test positive, Oakland school district officials said.
again, if you’re serious about accessibility & consent & you’re still not wearing a mask during this ongoing mass disabling/eugenics event you’re not serious about accessibility & consent when you’ve made public spaces inaccessible & you’re spreading covid w/out others consent.
this is what solidarity looks like!
resisting eugenics locally and genocide(s) globally!! folks rockin’ high quality masks in the face of this ongoing covid pandemic and keffiyehs while israel, the u.s., and their allies seek to obliterate palestine and all inhabitants.
19 Brown U students will refuse food until their demands for Brown to end its complicity in the genocide in Gaza are met. They will remain on strike until the Brown Corporation commits to conducting a vote on a divestment resolution during the February 8 & 9 Corporation meeting.
today i complimented this woman for the mask she was wearing and she promptly thanked me for masking, as she said that she’s immunocompromised and was telling me that she’s been harassed for masking in berkeley, california of all places and was moving back to denmark…
“post pandemic” people, is this the “normalcy” you were so eager to “return” to?
*mass disability and eugenics, multiple genocides, climate crisis, etc. all the while capitalism demands your complete compliance as it continues to cannibalize your humanity.
as a temporarily abled person to other temporarily abled people, you don’t have to be high risk in order to be covid cautious in this never ending pandemic that none of us are immune to.
to all the service workers still wearing masks in the face of this never ending pandemic, i see/appreciate you for doing what you can to protect yourselves and community despite your efforts not being reciprocated by the masses nor those who lie about being for worker’s rights.
yo! my professor just asked that the class mask going forward and expressed that ensuring the care for everyone is in alignment with her being a black lesbian radical feminist--i'm fucking sobbing!
2 of my 4 professors are shifting class to zoom or holding class next week because of covid, whereas the other 2 are online exclusively to begin with. mask the fuck up, people!
"Women with 'mysterious' or otherwise maligned chronic illnesses have been fighting both sexism and ableism for years; it should be a feminist issue, but feminism has been slow to include the sickest among us in its fight for gender justice."
i’ll be the first to scream that i’m lonely as fuck especially in this never ending pandemic as a covid conscious person enduring the rapid decline of our society and species courtesy of hyper-individualism, capitalism, and fascism.
One of the biggest taboos of our age is admitting out loud that you don't have a community. We know from anonymized surveys that people are lonelier and sadder than ever before and yet few people will admit it.
still teaching and steadily offering outdoor parkour classes to individuals and small groups. all ages. oakland/berkeley.
*i am a covid cautious parkour coach, which means i test every 5 days and wear a high quality mask in public to include when teaching/practicing parkour.
i was just talking with a fellow covid conscious/cautious homie today about the difficulties and the level of intentionality around dating in the covid era…
yo! my women and gender studies professor just got excited when i called out ableist language in class! people really gotta start coming up with other words instead of hurling "crazy" all over the fucking place!
“Dear Latinos,
Being racist to other Latinos, Indigenous and Black folks will not bring you any closer to the whiteness that you crave so much.
And if this message bothers you, then it was probably meant for you.”
seriously feeling for covid conscious youth navigating covid careless schools and extracurricular spaces/places where the responsibility to not get/give covid is put entirely on the child(ren) and their one-way masking!

i just gotta say that too many of you claim to have never had covid simply because you’ve never tested or seldom get tested for covid. asymptomatic covid is covid even if you’re not regularly testing and still has the potential to do damage and be transmitted onto others.
what age does holding hands become something you exclusively do with someone of romantic interest? and why in the hell is that even a thing? friends of whatever gender and age should be free to hold hands like we did as kids! no wonder why so many of us are touch deprived!
it's rather bizarre and honestly disappointing that my ordinarily on point professor who has been out sick with covid for a week and teaching remotely for at least a week thereafter actually just said, "post-pandemic" in class. c'mon, people!
@upstaterica
perplexed as to why people actually believed taking masks off was wise to begin with but i’m glad berlin is responding as it should. can’t help but to wonder about amsterdam where covid seemingly never happened…
"I wish it wasn’t so quiet. I want more. I want masked community gatherings, I want a corsi-rosenthal in every Masjid, I want queer and COVID-safe iftars, I want to not have to face indignation when I ask about masking..." [1/2]
