To my fellow cynics in the #Neurodivergent and #COVIDcautious communities, do you find it easy to turn off the cynicism when talking to neurotypicals/the COVID cavalier? My problem is I know I SHOULD shut up, but I CAN'T.

@MichRVer shared a $1/ea (min 25) rapid test sale! Thank you!! I've never used this brand and have no idea if it's showing current variants well but probably still worth it as test costs is a barrier for many right now. It may be worth stocking up to give ones to friends and family or local mutual aid groups / mask blocs https://zeroes.ca/@MichRVer/111037916984984474

Government: It's your choice how to protect yourself against #COVID.
Me: Great! I choose to follow the science and get vaccinated every six months even if I have to pay for it out of pocket.
G: No, not like that.

#NoToBrainInfections tag is an attempt to get some people thinking about a critically important and yet criminally neglected and ignored public health catastrophe with whatever undamaged neurons they’ve got left. You can read about it in academic papers that never get discussed fairly or fully outside a very narrow group of #CovidCautious people. And you can learn about it, tragically, from hundreds of stories by people with #LongCovid if you care to listen.
I have.

"Life is full of risk™" is such a non-argument it's absolutely laughable.
I love biking. There is risk in biking, yet I still bike. The actual absolute risk is VERY low, though, and the benefit is very high for me. It's transportation, it keeps me healthy, it's FUN.
With a vaxxed-and-relaxed attitude, COVID infection is guaranteed. The risks from infection are astronomical and, in exchange, I get what? Brunch? Fuck that.

It's back to school day and here goes my little brother into a bigger sea of maskless kids this year. I wish people weren't so ridiculous with their denial of covid severity.
I'm in France and I don't know where to turn to to find info on current transmission levels, to show family that yes, it's still happening. We hear about the US, but not about here.
Also, I don't know if it's been discussed already, but my experience is that for non-english speaking people, so much info is not accessible. You can't just send people links to studies, when they don't understand English. This has been a major obstacle in my opinion, to make people aware of the risks and prevention methods. *sigh*

Well, here goes. I literally don't know how else to make IRL friends, so I'm going to see if fedi can help me.
Hi! I'm Balerion (real name to be revealed when friendship applicants pass the vibe check), and I live in the #Seattle area. I'm 27, white, queer, and PROBABLY a cis woman. Oh, and I have ADHD. I'm looking for IRL lefty friends because I don't have any & would like to. Bonus points if you're not a fed, but one can't be too picky.
A little more about me: I am #CovidCautious & wear a mask everywhere I go. My hobbies include #crochet, #DND, #VideoGames (loving #BaldursGate3), writing occasionally, listening to podcasts, reading political theory, hanging out with animals, and consuming pretty much all forms of fiction. I have two awful cats. I'm very #420 friendly & would be glad to have someone to do edibles with. I'm a libertarian #socialist who's very passionate about politics & making change in the world. I'm not technically an #anarchist, but I'm very sympathetic to #anarchism & tend to get along with anarchists.
If you think we might click, please check my pinned posts. Still like me? Then feel free to hit me up!
Boosts appreciated for reach.
P.S. Please be vaxxed/have a medical reason not to be.

Based on the poll yesterday, the secret society of maskers who wear N95s or greater will be henceforth referred to as a Fellowship.
Now the question is... The Fellowship of *what*?

and O! The Great Heretics spoke from on high amongst the birds and the masses did prostrate themselves before them and chanted, "the virus that must not be named is mild," and they disbursed and flew across the Earth spreading the word of the evil ones. "Thou shalt live thine life and not live in fear," they said, in unison, and thus The Great Pestilence spread ever farther.

I'm thinking the Vulcan salute would be such a perfect hand sign for the #COVIDcautious fellowship (name TBD), if it weren't already taken...
Live long and prosper my friends. 🖖

It blows my mind that nobody is out there making elastomeric N95+ respirators that look less like industrial equipment and more like an accessory. Is the market really too small to make this work?!? I feel like the elastomeric options are so limited and many aren't available in Canada.
I have a Flo Mask but I find the fit can be finicky. It's fine if I'm not talking to people, but it felt sketchy in Costco today.
I need a replacement as well because of a small nick on the inside of the gasket but everything looks so intense. So far, the Envo Mask Pro looks to be the best, but it's soooo expensive to import it here. I have a Dentec NxMD that I painted but I don't trust the way the filters are attached. It feels way too easy to install them incorrectly.

There’s a lot I’m willing to give up for covid safety and solidarity, but at this stage it seems to be in conflict with being able to date and have a partner. This may be my breaking point. It’s very hard to accept this is the state of things.
I don't typically do #followfriday but I am really excited a couple mutuals from other places on the web are on here now so I am today!
#COVIDcautious #covidaware #stillCOVIDing #ZeroCovid friends please give a warm welcome to @Kelcsimpkins and @imperfectlyme420!
I am still a fediverse newbie myself but links.zeroes.ca has some great resources, including apps and web versions (I like Moshidon on android, Ice Cubes on ios and Elk.zone on web myself) since the official clients can feel a bit... meh? (coming from Twitter, especially), so give it a look!
#followfriday #COVIDcautious #covidaware #stillCOVIDing #ZeroCovid
The fact that there's a new variant out (again) that people are concerned about changes literally nothing for me. I'm not more worried. I'm not changing my behavior. I only think about it when articles come up. It IS interesting seeing viral evolution unfold so rapidly.
It seems so ironic being told I'm living in fear when I feel so emotionally detached to increasing immune escape. Mechanical interventions never stopped working. 🤷
#WearAMask #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDcautious
My heretofore #COVIDcautious friend minimized the article about post-Omicron COVID infection vulnerability stating that it was probably because those who caught Omicron were more likely to catch it again because of their risky behaviours. He never read the study, or even the title... Which shows it was a study of older adults in long term care and retirement facilities...
