I don’t know what lies beyond the next two weeks. It’s obvious now that this will last way beyond two weeks. And to be honest: I have not yet fully absorbed that. I feel like I’m in the middle of a fugue state. #COVID19 #CoronavirusOutbreak
I have never been a planner so I rarely think beyond two months - a blessing and a curse. This is like a new form of double consciousness: life as we were planning and life as a pandemic steers it.

I don’t have the TV on all day. I get my mews online. Sometimes when I’m reading a book, or not refreshing social media, I forget for a second that we are in the midst of a global pandemic And when I remember, I am grateful for the part of me that is a friend to chaos. #COVID19

Jennifer Rubin is a reminder of why I don’t support a woman just because she is a woman. What are her politics? I don’t want a woman in power just because she is a woman. I want a woman who dismantles not upholds patriarchy.
Take Gina Haspel, head of the CIA: My feminism does not demand that a woman have an equal opportunity to torture, alongside men. Torture is no less wrong because a woman, not a man, carries it out. google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…
We must ask more than “Can a woman be president?” Or Vice President? We must ask equally pertinent questions: Is that woman feminist? Is she invested in dismantling patriarchy? Will she use her power to uphold or diminish patriarchy? google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…

A Thank You thread.

My brother is a cardiologist & his wife is OB/GYN. People’s hearts will still need taking care of & babies will continue being born. Worried sick about them.

- Thank you physicians, nurses, orderlies, all who work in hospitals & clinics

#CoronavirusOutbreak
Thank you all the grocery store employees - those we see in aisles and as we pay, those we don’t see but who are working in storerooms or delivery, those who clean and keep surfaces sanitized. Thank you all. #COVID19 #CoronavirusOutbreak
Add your thank you’s in reply

I will remember Friday March 6. It will probably be the last time for a while I will be in a crowded club. It was for the Nefertitties drag night in #Brooklyn hosted by my dear friend #Egyptian queen AnaMasreya. Here we are in our Cheetah prints for Cheetah Gurlz Night
It also starred Mexican queen Koko Rokokko and Palestinian queen Eva Laurent
AnaMasreya asked me to say a few words and I will post the video of what I said soon.

TL:DR there is no liberation without queer liberation, without gender liberation, without sexual liberation.
The revolution starts in my cunt.

A really heartbreaking sight. The sacrifices from health workers in China have been immense.
This is the context of that video, reportedly related to the death of hospital director Liu Zhiming.
This is making the rounds, claiming to be Chinese escaping the country into Vietnam. I'm almost certain that it is misrepresented, and that this is not true.

Unsurprisingly, more information was withheld by the Chinese government. COVID-19 had reached Guangdong by January 4th. Wuhan's lockdown only began on the 23rd. This is a probelm far bigger than Hubei and China.
Alternate reality: Theranos Ends Pandemic
It's so sad to read these stories of China's state of unrest. Trust is degraded. This is not a society that will return to normal with a snap of fingers and bans lifted. China is damaged, could be for years, & we're not even near the end of this epidemic.

If you're looking for someone compromised on China, you have this theater and its 'unbreakable friendship.' news.yahoo.com/china-declines…
Xi's latest appearance on a call with Trump this morning is a different story, merely parroting the "People's War" language that state media has orchestrated in recent days
This question has only deepened for Chinese and the world in recent days, with the tragedy only growing day after day, and Wuhan's whistleblower now fallen: where is Xi Jinping? time.com/5778994/corona…

@CDCgov While I wait for more info to develop in the coming days, make sure to follow @JaneLytv's fantastic coverage of the misinformation that is spreading:
@CDCgov @JaneLytv This is absolutely untrue and there is no reporting to validate it. What is happening in Wuhan is not related to a biological weapon, or a human-caused accidental release, and this emergent reporting of a Chinese national being removed from a Canadian lab is in no way related. Image
@CDCgov @JaneLytv This is trash reporting that is by definition fake news. The Wuhan coronavirus was not released by a lab, and there is no evidence to in any way suggest that. washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/…

Now Japan too 👀 https://t.co/9yeEsUGHDx
It’s probably a good time to remember that the 2002 SARS outbreak killed 774 people across 37 countries and it had a 10% mortality rate. This one looks less deadly, but also looks ripe to — and actively is — going global. on.ft.com/2u6G7zV
Umm, any of y'all have room in your bunker? The Chinese government was withholding the severity of this outbreak & transmission capability, and the number of coronavirus cases has exploded😷

THE NEXUS BETWEEN TRUTH AND LIES (A Case Study of Nigeria)

According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day.
The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvellous day today"!
The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful.
They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well.

Again, The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!"!
The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice.
They undress and start bathing.
Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away.

The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back.
