Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

Lacking energy due to the heat? 🥵 Repeat after me: many things worth doing are worth doing badly. Half-assed toothbrushing is better than none. Eating ice cream is better than not eating. Do what you can, and try not to feel guilty about it. You don't deserve that.

Talking about ableist language is important, but when you aren't doing any work to protect yourself and others from a disabling illness, I lose major respect for you. Your disability advocacy can't just be theoretical.

NYC Dept of Health tweets from July 9. Both are reasons to wear an n95 in public. Not just in NYC. COVID, pollution, and climate change are everywhere. Covid and air pollution can cause cumulative damage and disability that will make you more vulnerable to heatwaves and other climate effects.

Oh, you are "holding space" are you? You think you are holding space? You fool. You are not. Space is expanding eternally, it will always escape your futile grasp, outrace any boundaries you try to impose on it. Your hubris betrays your ignorance. You cannot hold space. Space holds you.

An increasing body of studies suggests prolonged exposure to noise pollution may cause cardiovascular damage. One local bitcoin mine was producing well over the local allowable noise volume.

Want to mask but lack resources? Look up a local covid action group. They provide free masks, often including sampler packs to help you find the n95-type mask for your specific needs! Size, shape, hair texture, sensory needs, etc matter. So does community care. Normalize masking. Mask in public.

You can be disabled and be ableist. These values permeate our society so deeply. I've spent decades unpicking the ways it has affected my thinking and I'm by no means free of it.

My point here is that protecting your health with an n95 supports your resiliency to effects climate change and pollution, including but not limited to ozone. I feel like that was stated pretty clearly in the original post.

A new study found arsenic, lead, & other toxins in US & EU/UK tampons. No lead exposure is safe, but exact effects are unknown because no one’s researched it. Menstruation being neglected by science is a form of deadly medical sexism. Menstrual products weren’t even tested with blood until 2023.

Having a Covid aware account be a terf in my thread about medical neglect via insufficient research is a special kind of jumpscare and disappointment. I’ll take it as a reminder that those who are for collective liberation will mask, but not all who mask are for collective liberation.

It’s sad to see that people can’t even engage news about Gaza — thousands of civilians fleeing for their lives from bombs we paid for TODAY — without loudly replying “WELL, I’M STILL VOTING FOR BIDEN.” Ok? I didn’t ask you; the ask if anything was for your humanity. Y’all post like campaign bots.

Yes, there’s layers to the grief. For me, at least three: grieving the losses caused by cruel inaction, grieving of the loss of those communities, and grieving my sense of confidence in my ability to find/recognize good community. Solidarity to you.

"Peer reviewed" is such a loaded phrase anymore. Like. You want your science to be reviewed by people who understand the field so you don't end up with bullshit like the ROGD paper, but also you want to ensure your science isn't being gatekept by people with unexamined biases.

I don't want assimilation or a muting of what makes us, us. Assimilation kills culture, and queer culture is beautiful. I want society to accept us to the level where they'll not treat us like shit and take away our rights. Other than that, I want them to just leave us be.

I think about this often and also how suppression of knowledge and lived expertise is a tried-and-true strategy of control, whether it’s via bombing journalists and poets in Palestine or governments not funding liberal arts education or the way Disabled knowledge is made invisible and isolated.

Unmasked leftists, are you “being shamed” when told to wear an n95 or feeling shame when realizing your actions & values don’t align? If you can’t tolerate discomfort, you can’t learn, grow, or resist systems of oppression. Expand your capacity for discomfort to expand your potential to liberate.

Heat intolerance is a long covid symptom & side effect of many meds, from blood pressure to mental health meds… which are common post-covid needs. The rise of fascism during climate collapse & a covid surge is a real bad time to spread illness & disability. Wear an n95 in public. Resources in 🧵

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

Glad you have AC to help! Want to note it’s not all antihistamines that affect heat intolerance. It’s only ones with anticholinergic properties, so if you’re using one of those three, there may be an alternative option you and your doc can find that meets your needs but dodges the side effect.
