i wear a thick n99 mask whenever i’m out bc i have lupus. totally fine, sometimes it’s uncomfy or humid, whatever. keeps me safe. it is RARE that i wear just a surgical mask but i popped one on today bc it was the closest thing& OH MY GOD. IT’S SO LIGHT. YALL COMPLAIN ABT THIS???
this paper mask— very effective at keeping us safe— is what y’all complain about. REALLY. i love thicc mask, wouldn’t trade it. truly. but jfc it’s so much more THERE than this paper mask i’m like shook. and yet i still remind people **daily** at my retail job?? gfd 😒
sorry i’m ✨complaining✨ today but whew i’m just really hittin a wall lately and i gotta let off some steam somewhere and this mY twitter dot com profile welcome!!!!!
it just hurts to be eye rolled & huffed at & treated like the mask police every day when it’s so easy to wear this flimsy piece of paper. like i truly feel personally disrespected when people behave like i’m enforcing ✨a rule✨ rather than what i AM doing: begging for my safety.
lmao had a group of four white 20-somethings literally leave their ice cream and walk out because i had to ask them to wear a mask once when they walked in and twice more in a like ~5min interaction. super cool to feel like my life is tHaT ✨valuable✨

Making comparisons between hydroxychloroquine & ivermectin is warranted in some situations, but overwhelmingly it seems to be done without nuance. This perpetuates the invisibile harm autoimmune people continue to bear as our essential medication— HCQ— is once again in shortage.
I don’t say all of this for some woe is me oppression olympics bs or whatever you care to project— I say it because the difference matters. The severity of the harm done to chronically ill and disabled people is more than worth mentioning, it should be centered. #HighRiskCovid19
Don’t just act as joker or stenographer of the horrors we’re all living through— make the realities clear. Who is harmed by disinformation and how? Was the harm ever addressed? No? Why? What precedent does this set? What doors does it leave open? Do better. #DisabledPeopleToldYou
PLEASE take a few minutes— share our posts, make a report, make a call, debunk disinformation in your personal lives— just push back against the propaganda hurting our communities. #NoLicenseForDisinformation
🗣 #ADoctorADay 1/? — Who better to report for spreading dangerous information than Dr. Simone Gold? We need everyone to go to mbc.ca.gov/Consumers/file… to report her harmful disinformation— not to mention that little insurrection snafu— & share this! #NoLicenseForDisinformation 1/
Dr. Simone Gold, founder of America’s Frontline Doctors, is one of the most infamous new voices of the #COVID19 pandemic. With help from the Tea Party Patriots, Gold&crew became disinfo superspreaders overnight,& it has not stopped since. Report her. 2/#NoLicenseForDisinformation
Dr. Simone Gold’s dangerous conduct starts before the White Coat Summit, when she began prescribing hydroxychloroquine for covid, despite the lack of evidence. She brags abt clearing out a LA pharmacy of its HCQ, while rheumatic patients struggled to find our essential meds. 3/
