“You never know what you’ll find beneath the surface, wrap it up every time” As true for covid as it is for AIDS. Wrap it up (in a respirator or condom), every time! #MasksWork

“Get the facts” We really need an information driven public health campaign for covid prevention. Too many people think it’s impossible when it really isn’t. We knew *exactly* how to prevent it as soon as we knew it was airborne. In 2020 #CovidIsAirborne

“AIDS is preventable. Apathy is lethal” Again. So true for covid that it literally took my breath for a second. #ApathyIsLethal #CovidIsAirborne

“Stop AIDS before it stops the world” I’ll end it on this. We need to stop Covid before it stops the world. Wear a MASK #CovidIsAirborne #onpoli #canpoli Public Health ON Region of Waterloo Waterloo Region DSB Marit Stiles Justin Trudeau Ontario School Safety Health Canada and PHAC Canada's CPHO

You have GOT to be fucking kidding me:

"Having grown up here... lots of people who are assertive/direct can be annoying." Minnesota in a nutshell. Also, I used to have to tell people that it was rude to make cabin trip plans while with people who were part of the friend group but explicitly not invited to the cabin.

Last week I made (outdoor) plans with friends, & offered to pick them up since I was driving by their place. They know how cautious I am and yet still blithely hopped into my car without masks on; presumably without having masks at all, so I couldn't even make the request.

Yoooooooooo, see you all at Daley Plaza to protest the GardaWorld contract? Masked for everyone's safety and accessibility?? Thrilled to see some direct action I can participate in, and hopeful other organizers take note ❤️

I want to hit the Pullman House Tours this weekend, ideally Sunday. Sunday is also Marathon Day. Looks like the route does *not* include DSLSD. Am... am I good to plan on traversing the city on Sunday despite the race, or will it be a horrible mistake?

Very much looking forward to diving into these, But what little reading I've done in the past already made it extraordinarily clear that you don't need to understand all the complexities to recognize that how Palestinians have been treated is both abominable and unconscionable.

I really need the The Onion to make a Point/Counterpoint, one side discussing scientific studies about what COVID does to the body, high profile cases of Long COVID, and trends of what's happening at the population level, And the other side rebutting, "I was told it's mild."

Tried to donate platelets, but American Red Cross unequivocally required I go mask off indoors to take my temp. During a pandemic. Wouldn't take it via forehead or armpit. Wouldn't step outside with me & do it outdoors. Wouldn't consider any proposed solutions. So I left. GOOD JOB, GUYS
