This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

First y’all mourn a Christo-fascist and attempt to rehabilitate his nasty, dutty image into some sort of political martyr.
Now it’s Diane Keaton who said that there is a victim mentality when confronted with her support of a child rapist
But hey, The Godfather amirite 🙃

Something the movie gets right is the sanitized American history that has been absorbed by Son - a white man with ultra rich oil industry parents who had the means to stock up on supplies, but let most people they knew die.

meanwhile, a lot of todays queer community continues to ignore covid and kills off our own people.

if you ignore covid, you would have ignored hiv/aids.

mask up and protect our people because the government sure as fuck wont

Ricardo Levins Morales Art Studio @rlmartstudio.bsky.social · 1d

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

Which of course, defeats the whole purpose of quarantining a whole wing if visitors are allowed in #Covid19 positive rooms w/o masks & then they leave & saunter on thru other wings, common areas, hallways, bathrooms, cafeteria etc where other patients, visitors & staff are breathing the same air.

My mood disorder flared up because of post-COVID symptoms. Now I’m not sure if I will find another team at work or whether I’ll be fired.

The students I math tutor have really bad ADHD like myself and can’t focus.

SARS-CoV-2 ruined both my mental health and physical health.

Happy Monday and a gentle reminder to those dealing with chronic illness to watch out for the October Slide.

This time of year can cause flare ups, increased symptoms and unexpected hits to your baseline.

It’s best to go slow. Be gentle. And know that you’re not alone.

"Wearing an N95 or better respirator in every place where you share the air with people who might have Covid is the single most important thing you can do. More than 400 studies show masking is highly effective at protecting you[...] The less infections you sustain, the more your brain is shielded"👇

Guiness Pig @guinesspig.bsky.social · 6d

Are we suffering from benevolence debt?

As a Covid-Conscious person, your choice to continue with masking and mitigations is part of the legacy you're building.

It matters more than you'll ever know.

This week we discuss one of our favorite "not scary" scary movies, Dave Made a Maze, to continue their escalating ScareTober series of movies. We inversed the scare factor of Cooties and this, but we stand by our decision for the story. #DaveMadeAMaze #NickThune #JamesUrbaniak #MeeraRohitKumbhani

This reminds me of how David Lynch said he wanted to keep working but couldn’t because COVID posed too great a risk & people stopped being willing to mask up to protect others.

Ableism is an insidious evil in society & healthcare. It convinces us to abandon each other for profit & convenience.

Kristen Immoor @kristenimmoor.bsky.social · 1d

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Screenshot of text from the interview:

You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still?

I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe.

[I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]

Pre-op done. Bc of my chronic respiratory failure, I'll likely remain intubated in the ICU for a bit after surgery. Also pretty high risk for rebound pulmonary emboli & hemorrhage. But! I need the surgery🤷‍♀️

At $4149/$6K with $1851 remaining. Surgery is Oct. 23rd. Any continued help is appreciated!
