Also, another thing I did was when I found someone who was a prominent Covid poster like @violetblue.bsky.social, (from New Zealand!) I’d search who they were following for more Covid-aware folks to follow.

If you want to know the true state of Covid risk today, look to liability clauses & insurance policies.

Even Ticketmaster warns β€œCOVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. You assume all risks, hazards, and dangers…”

It’s how I built up my Covid-aware community that is way larger than at the other place, and it’s been a lifeline for me as all my IRL friends went back to normal and abandoned me. I also follow art, nature, climate science feeds I pop into once in awhile and where I discovered other folks to follow

When you find a feed of interest in # feed search, use the pin icon at the top corner to pin it to your feeds.
Access the feeds quickly by hitting the # icon at top right corner (on mobile). Scroll a feed and follow individuals you like on that feed for them to show up in your timeline every day.

You can find like-minded folks by searching terms ex. sci-fi, even in # Feeds section in menu, scroll down to search bar. Here’s a few to check out & follow to build community:

I wouldn’t buy expired N95/FFP3 masks unless I had no choice, but here’s info to reassure anyone who does have masks expiring soon or already expired according to date on the box, they’re not necessarily expired. N95s (prob FFP3s too) are effective for up to 10 years. Hope you find your masks tho!

Absolutely! I don’t go anywhere without my N95, especially crowded indoor events. And I have a cute black lace overlay and gold chain to dress it up for concerts 🀘😷

But don't worry everyone. Covid is gone. But it's still here and extremely dangerous, but it's gone you don't have to worry about it. It's still here but not as bad. It's really dangerous but it's gone don't worry

I am routinely struck silent by the fact that we can stop HIV in its tracks, literally zero transmission, and as a society we just choose not to.

UK begins new vaccine trials for avian influenza New targeted vaccine trials in turkeys will test vaccine efficacy as part of the fight to protect wild and captive birds from avian influenza.

Avian Influenza vaccine research is continuing in various countries around the world. A new trial for vaccinating birds has begun in the UK, in the hopes of producing a vaccine that may better control the spread of H5N1.

i’ve had ME/CFS for about 20 years.

a huge part of why i am so vocal about protecting yourself from #covid is because i, too, have felt like an observer on my own life.

i’m almost 40 and have barely done any of the things i’d really like to. i’ve been too busy struggling to survive.

10.03.2026 01:59 πŸ‘ 15 πŸ” 2 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

and that was well before the ongoing #SARS-CoV-2 pandemic started. and that’s why i have been so adamant in protecting myself from covid this whole time.

i don’t want things to get EVEN WORSE.

We can’t say it enough. I think most people don’t know that every Covid infection damages which is why they walk around thinking Covid is just a cold now since they recover β€œjust fine”. We have to keep telling them even if most choose to ignore it. It’s worth it for those who’ll choose to mask again

You can reduce your chances of
-Being sick on vacation (sucks!!)
-Being sick after vacation (bummer!!)
-Missing work when you intended to be back, because you're sick (yikes!!)
-Spreading sickness to people on your flights like babies or disabled folks who can't mask or get vaccinated (solidarity!!)

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

China leads the world in solar deployment. Even parking lots and rooftops are being turned into solar power plants β€” generating electricity while using space that’s already paved.

China also exceeded its 2030 wind + solar capacity target (1.2 TW) in 2024 β€” about six years early. #Bettrification

Nope, the way we fight back is by taxing the wealthy and implementing UBI for the rest of us.

We're sick and tired of begging for scraps and fighting for our lives while every single elected official is doing just fine. Go tax the wealthy and quit telling us to submit to the system they built.
