Collage. A statue of Holy Mary with Sacred Heart emblem on her robe viewed from below atop and partially obscured by a mountain of skulls. With outstretched arms she offers a USAmerican flag. Her face is obscured by a skull illustration. Behind her is a vast cavern with walls lined with skulls like the Parisian catacombs.

It’s always a good idea to bully people who’ve killed scores of men, women, and children and will kill again into watching a silly little vanity speech. And then test them for lying about watching it, or making fun of it, under threat of consequences. It always works out well.

Leftists not masking aren’t serious. It betrays there is no strategy towards liberation. It’s short sighted. Can’t do the hard work to resist. Can’t do mutual aid. It’s just vibes, aesthetics, and social capital positioning. Just a quest for power without a plan.

bats 🦇✨ @itsbabs.bsky.social · 1d

even the smartest folks whose takes i otherwise appreciate, who otherwise want to resist fascism themselves & encourage others to, find wearing a mask in, at least, public indoor spaces—to prevent the harms of this administration from impacting others—to be a bridge too far; it’s shameful, frankly.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?

COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is often compared to other pandemics for its societal and global health impact, with some commentators drawing parallels to HIV/AIDS due to the immune dysfunction caused ...

FINDS THEM AND KILLS THEM

"Finds Them and Kills Them (Osh-Tisch) looked like a man, but wore women's clothing and had the heart of a woman.... she was brave and good."
― Pretty Shield

Her strength as a warrior is what earned her the name Osh-Tisch, which translates to “finds them and kills them."

Who is Osh-Tisch?
Osh-Tisch was a Apsáalooke Badé, a role within the Crow Nation that defied traditional gender norms, embodying both masculine and feminine qualities. Before colonization, Badé were deeply respected for their unique spiritual gifts, artistry, and contributions to community life.
As a Badé, Osh-Tisch carried responsibilities tied to culture, ceremony, and social balance. Their life shows how many of our nations embraced gender diversity long before Western colonial powers imposed rigid binaries.
