See pop up that says new follower, then poof! Welp, hello new people! My Twitter is very broken rn. I'm Momo. Of course.
I believe that you can't speak about injustices, be an activist, unless you also mask as much as you can. No one is free til all are free. That includes me.

how stealing Palestinian property has become totally routine in the Gaza war, with minimal pushback from commanders.
The mask discourse this weekend is so appropriately timed.
We were to host a pair of friends today for an extremely rare visit, I was set to cook. I can count on one hand in 4 years how often.
They sent me photos from the restaurant they regularly dine at yesterday morning.
It's so extremely disorienting to be actively working for the freedom of all people, while being told on an endless loop that your life doesn't matter.
That you are less than the able bodied. That you're worth "leaving by the wayside" and being a little sad emoji, but not life.
So when I canceled, it was justifiably with ANGER at they disregard for my health, home and family.
Expecting people to not engage with RECREATIONAL, ELECTIVE activities unless taking the utmost precautions is not combative, perfectionist etc.
It's the bare fucking minimum.

I was taught in nursing school that black & brown bodies "didn't feel pain like whites". Not to believe victims of trauma, the chronically ill, bc they're likely druggies.
Medicine is rank with bigotry, founded on it & never changed.
The system is working as intended
Let me make this abundantly clear: I was going to have them in my home with my immune-suppressed disabled self, & my family who keep me safe.
The fact that eating regularly indoors with other masked diners put me at risk NEVER CROSSED THEIR MIND. Despite actually knowing me.
I wear a mask because my immune system attacks me instead of protects me.

Use a disabled parking space but "look fine" while out with your kids to get groceries. Get yelled at for 'faking it for opioids.' Explain that to your 9 year old while trying not to cry.

As an advocate who worked specifically with LGBT youth, can confirm. Religious foster agencies are an absolute hell for these kids & should be barred from the process. They are abusive homes. Period.
They should not be receiving taxpayer money in the first place.
How many major medical networks are owned/operated by religious organizations? Hospitals, rehabs, long term care, in home care...

Literally this was the ER I was placed in Friday night to wait testing. Think it used to be an infusion center.
Curtains separated me, immune compromised, only allowed a baggy surgical mask, and dozens of patients in one giant room.
Magic curtains keeping us safe.
Iโm not talking about an anonymous, nebulous, systematic harmโฆ of which there is a lot.
Could you do this? Could you lead a vulnerable patient into a clinical area and see them with nothing separating them from the risk of COVID from another pt except โmagic curtainsโ.

Ferrets also. Dogs too.
If you have COVID assume your pet is at risk and wear a mask around them.
Please at least pretend you care about them more than your vulnerable community?
Reminder: if you have covid or think you might, MASK AROUND YOUR CATS. Your cats can get really sick. Mask and try to distance from them as best you can, just like if they were anyone else in your house.

Why are we forced to beg for basic standards of care given to less common pathogens like MRSA?
I have been having a private battle with a hospital to provide a safe environment within the oncology treatment space for me to receive my IV treatments. Around December they removed majority of the air filters and went back to baggy blue masks.

Adding to this: please stop using brain damage or references to it as an insult, a gotcha, or moral judgment on someone. (especially toward bigots--bigotry is not disability)
Brain damage existed even before covid and brain damage injuries don't make people less than.
