I'll go when they start mandating masks and enacting preventative measures against the careless spread of disease again. You're not going to do that, though, and no one else will advocate for those who suffered/are suffering under COVID and continuous threat of exposure to an airborne, highly transmissible, potentially asymptomatic neurodegenerative disease that causes cumulative, lasting damage with each infection and, most importantly, has no cure. So, no, I'll stay right where I am.
So many group photos of socialist orgs with not one person wearing a goddamn mask.
Mushrooms may help repairing degenerative damage when generative mechanisms remain.
I've done and will do more than you ever have or will.
Plenty you can do from inside. What part of the world are you in?
The point is not that I am in here, and think I can do nothing. The point is that you are all out there, and think you can do everything. You are all out there, frozen in time and calcified in denial, when the world changed in 2020. The world changed and no one in the world is changing with it, so now measles returns. Whooping cough returns. Tuberculosis returns. Do you understand? I have done and continue to do plenty with my community of people who are devoted to keeping each other and us all safe. 11 million people are in this photograph telling me they do not share this value. I go outside every day to people telling me they do not share this value. Whatever is going on out there, it's certainly something, but it's not sustainable in the new world. It's not equitable, it's not emancipatory. The same people screech and holler and scold and assure me that whatever side they're on really cares about those things, but nothing they do can be any of those things if their health, their people's health, the health of everyone involved in present or future is forfeit to the plague—and if that's the case, what good is any of it? Just wear a god damn mask when you're outside your home. It's that simple.
Agreed
Do you know who it was in January who gave out respirators to the entire city of LA during those wildfires? It wasn't the "No Kings" or "No Tyrants" or whatever protesters. It wasn't the DSA or PSL organizers. It wasn't the city of LA. It was the city of LA's COVID mask bloc. Try again.
