i’m sorry to be asking for so much help but it really does help and mean a lot. i just added a food processor which would help be able to eat fresher food; i miss cooking but it’s so painful and beyond my abilities now.
there’s food and other essential to help me at home, & cats & autistic carer 🤍🙏

#OneOfTheTwo

A cartoon by Katrina Cooper-Hinton a.k.a some random chick depicting a silhouette of a person shrugging in helplessness, surrounded by word balloons from off screen that goes in an infinite loop like this:
If you're vulnerable you can just protect yourself by wearing a mask. If you're so vulnerable you need to wear a mask you should just stay home where you're safe. If you stay home all the time it will be bad for your mental health. If other people have to wear masks to protect you it infringes on their freedom. If you need essential things and have to go out you can just protect yourself by wearing a mask. Masks are superfluous now; wearing one is a sign of poor mental health. If you're so scared it makes you put a mask on you should just stay home. If you stay home all the time it will be bad for your mental health. You can't expect people to go out of their way for your safety so it's your duty to stay out of our way for our convenience. If you're vulnerable you can just protect yourself by wearing a mask.

A cartoon by Katrina Cooper-Hinton a.k.a Some Random Chick depicting a person sitting in a wheelchair wearing an oxygen mask with the tank on the back of the wheelchair, one hand resting on a dog. Both are looking quizzically at an unmasked person gleefully explaining, "You have to understand that mandates were because of fairness, so it's good there aren't any rules about it anymore. Because now it's fair. It was mean to say that people wouldn't wear masks around someone who could prove they really needed them to. Now we don't have to so now things are fair. Anyway it's unfair to ask people to give up freedom by wearing a mask or staying inside. People need to mingle and see smiles and spend money or they get lonely and bored! And anyway anybody who dies was going to anyway and wasn't happy or contributing so it's sad but it is what it is. So if you folks could just keep away safe inside and keep those masks on so that everybody can be free that'd be great! Just until you're gone, obviously. OK! Good talk!"

A cartoon by Katrina Cooper-Hinton a.k.a Some Random Chick. A person wearing a mask is taken aback by another person, hand on heart, sanctimoniously declaiming, "You don't need that you know. It's optional. When something is optional it means you don't have to do it. You don't seem to get that. It's your right not to wear that, so by doing so you're abusing your own right to choose. You're supposed to choose what everybody else chooses or you're throwing your right to choose away on just being weird. It's not really a choice when you do what "they" recommend, it's fascism! Freedom to choose means doing what normal people do, otherwise you're just being a sheep!" From this person's mouth is issuing a miasma that first passes a mother and child, then that child with grandma, then grandma with her tea circle, and culminates in a graveyard where the headstones say "Beloved" and "Dear" and "Missed" and "Loved" and "Gone" and "Mourned".

A cartoon by Katrina Cooper-Hinton a.k.a Some Random Chick. Panel one: A person wearing a mask is standing at a bus stop looking off into space, behind another person looking at their phone. Panel Two: identical. they are still standing at the bus stop, minding their own businesses. Panel Three: The person in the mask is startled by the person with the phone suddenly whipping around and shouting, "You are really pissing me off! Get over yourself!"

I'm #OneOfTheTwo just trying to stop waves of sickness washing across my loved ones/everyone else over & over, and to keep my daughter with severe Long Covid alive. I guess her heart problem is HILARIOUS, right @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social? Immunodeficiency, GREAT joke. Here's me. Oh NO, a mask.

@itsbabs.bsky.social

you need look no further than the hashtag #OneOfTheTwo to see how many more than just two jon stewart and co punched down at. but isn’t it great? that so many more than just a few people are taking a simple action that benefits even those who use their vaunted platforms to deride it? i see you all🫡✨

a selfie of babs (a white femme person with tattooed arms and long brown & blonde hair pulled into a pony tail) in a hallway with white walls and grey carpet. they’re wearing a black sleeveless top with a golden fire poppy in in the turtleneck, green plaid pants, and a tan belt with brown trim. they also have on an olive green powecom kn95 decorated with a gold mask chain with two gold gems on each end and white & gold circular glasses.

Dear Jon Stewart,

No one randomly owes you information about their health, their loved one’s health, or, understandably, just wanting to avoid Covid, which is the only way to prevent Long Covid.

Hey Jon Stewart, jokes about wearing masks aren't funny

Critics of the Daily Show host say he's a hypocrite.
