    So, so many stories of this amongst friends and family. Of course, they don't see it, which is good in some ways, but really not in so many other.

    #COVIDisNOTover

    I still and will always #wearaN95mask

  2. @edsuom I’d like to second that sentiment a thousand times. Fuck him and anyone who thinks like him. I have a right to keep myself safe and healthy. #COVID #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovid #MayorAdams

    Thanks for this. A really thoughtful meditation.

    It's mind-boggling how people have adapted to the virus- in its favour. It makes no sense logically. Some people including me have speculated (god forbid a radical thought) that the virus is, indeed, changing behaviour. Now I'll have to look up changes from toxoplasmosis. Brain damage can also make people careless. Thanks for giving us an interesting lead.

    Your photographs will get seen but the number of sightings will never be known by you unless your photo is favourited or boosted. We're not here for make viral posts. We're here to share what we have in the hope that someone else's day will be made better for it.

    And those of us who have fled from the birdsite are not refugees. We don't refer to ourselves as that because it detracts from the conversations of people who have left in fear of their lives seeking a better life for the future.

    I'm a #TwitterQuitter same as you. Welcome to Mastodon.

  5. @Kay @edsuom Crowds are just not a wise choice for going about bare-faced anymore.

    Related: I have #ChronicSinusitis. It flares up if I catch any kind of respiratory bug. Since my immune system is almost constantly trying to keep my sinuses healthy-ish, I catch absolutely everything.

    So masking up just makes extra sense to me! Covid or no, I'm glad not to catch a cold from the unmasked guy who came to an event saying he was healthy but his whole family was sick! 🙄

    I ditto this.
    Looking at photos of myself with friends from the #BeforeTimes it's really quite difficult to accept how good we had it. Looking at photos of being in crowds in the BTs now gives me the hebbie jebbies.

    I think this particularly true in gaming. When I think of '70s arcade culture, when I was 12-13, that's completely gone now.

    And what's replaced it is this ultra-capitalism where games workers are routinely expected to overwork to levels that affect their mental and physical health.

    The money in the biz has made crunch time and un-finished releases commonplace.

    We're a long way from this: youtu.be/FHS-Mg0n1BU?si=KW2MkN

  12. @StillIRise1963 @edsuom I’ve often thought that America needs a third party to balance out the extremophiles in this extant duopoly of aristocratic ochlocracies.

    A “White Party”, an analogue to the “Rainbow Nation”, where the core principles are strictly: UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international rule-of-law, and truth-seeking as witnesses before God.

  17. I've been meaning to make my own version of @edsuom's dental PAPR ever since he first posted it. Now, thanks to @Nerobro's machining work in black delrin, I have all the parts I should need to do the build, which will be based on the Optrel e3000x. First step this weekend was organizing my workbench so I have somewhere to do the work! #Knolling #Bins #PAPR #COVIDisAirborne

  18. And by the way, this whole transaction was conducted with me wearing my #N95 respirator because I never set foot into any public indoor space without. Maybe if #Covid stays as low as it is now for another year, but not yet.

    Nobody paid the slightest attention to it.

  23. I am about a month of low #Covid levels from saying fuck it all and getting on with my life. Such is the evolution of the human brain to reason, based far more than on mere remembered facts about dreadful health damage being inflicted by this #virus, on emotion and contact with other human brains being carried about in close physical proximity

    But I'm pretty sure I won't, and don't come at me with stuff about the #N95 making no difference in your life. They cover up the very part of you that other humans evolved to very carefully read and prevent you from taking part in millennia-old social. And if you are a minimizer who happened to stray into this quiet little space of ours, well, you are beneath my contempt.

    Sorry about the rough mood and words. Got feelings today.

  28. 6/ So, please anyone who has read this thread to the end, fellow traveler down a lonely road of #ZeroCovid or maybe the still-excellent #AsLittleCovidAsPossibleWhileStayingSane, let’s not do this same thing to one of our own. Give @augieray a follow if not a kind word of thanks for all he’s done, and if he’s going to have brunch with some buddies on a quiet Monday morning, wish him bon appetit. //

  29. 4/ You don’t want this virus in you because it could fuck up your immune system. That’s my blunt summary of Dr. Leonardi’s teachings, which helped cement my own resolve to never get infected if I can help it. So far, never have. My #N95 mask is a permanent part of my life now.

    We now are seeing the devastation this virus has had on people’s immune systems. And there are now papers, few if any of which acknowledge Dr. Leonardi, I’m guessing, that document the very quantifiable result of all these mass infections.

    He was right. And it didn’t do him much good. As far as I know, his warnings didn’t help his career any. They certainly didn’t help his popularity.
