This is well worth your time (seriously). If you don't want to read something on substack (understandable, I avoid the place too), you can find this same piece on Patreon here:

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.

My latest:

Beyond all reason
Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

Love to start my day off by being refused service by a company's call center because I use a different name than my legal name and "that name doesn't make sense as a nickname" 😡

If MN counties accept federal funds for ICE detention facilities they should be ineligible to receive state transportation funding.

Not only is it possible to believe that political violence is bad AND Nazis are bad (and not to be mourned as part of public life), it’s… a very consistent worldview

The thing about investing in public transit is that it *scales* — the more people use it, the better it gets. For everyone.

Whereas the more cars there are, the *worse* everything about driving gets. Traffic. Parking.

[Ever noticed that in just about every car ad it’s alone on the road? Yeah.]
Mamdani: We need to make public transportation so good that “no matter how much money is in your pocket, you say: I’m gonna use this.”

Me watching all of the backed up traffic on the interstate to get into downtown while I pass them on the bus:

If you’re sick right now, please test for Covid. Stay home if it’s at all possible, and wear a mask. Ideally an N95.

It’s not over. It was never over.

No one is coming to save us so we must save each other.

One of the best ways to do that is to commit to breaking chains of transmission!

I’m just saying, what if we blocked off streets from traffic so neighbors could chat and kids could play more often?

Is that too much to ask for?

Ideally in all sizes so I could get one.

I personally won’t stand for a DFL/Democratic party that doesn’t fight for Trans people. You protect all of us or none of us.

The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander.

It led me to seek out most of the other influential non fiction books I've read.
What non fiction book has influenced your worldview the most?
