I’m in a similar situation. I’m #Immunocompromised. #MedicalFacilities in my area are no longer #masking.

I need a new pair of glasses. Don’t get me started on my other medical needs… Not to mention my need for myself and progeny to survive #ClimateChange …

So I need new glasses. My current pair is scratched. Once that scratch-proof coating is breached, the whole surface just starts to peel away.

I need a full optical exam. I have (hopefully still minor) eye issues. I’m no spring chicken.

I am not willing to have an inadequately-masked examiner breathe directly into my face. I will not risk my life or my family’s health just so I can read the fine print (and road signs…). That’s how I let my glasses degrade this far in the first place.

It probably won’t work to ask the optical staff to adequately mask to protect my life (blah blah blah, they don’t care).
Monetary gain doesn’t matter (plenty of other customers willing to risk their health for their services).

What about #SocialComparison or #SocialPressure? I wonder if I could say something like “Optometrists have agreed to…” “Doctors are willing to…” “Leading medical providers…”

💜💜💜 I could use your suggestions on specific phrases that could be effective. 💜💜💜

Naysayers, please be prepared to be shut down.

Oh gawd, I have recollections of the #cringe response to “Well, up NORTH, we…” …while talking in the south. I am not, nor have I ever been a yankee. And I really don’t want to be accused of being a damn yankee. But here we are.

Normalise calling Twitter “the Nazi bar.”

Friend: Hey are you on Twitter?

You: The Nazi bar? No. You?

To those who seek love, who want love but can’t receive it, to those who are lonely, to those who feel they are not worthy… I’m sending love to you. Take care, this commercial wasteful day of bullshit doesn’t define you 🤍

“A negative #perception of atheists and #pressure from #family and peers may also cause some atheists to #disassociate themselves from atheism. #Misunderstanding of the term may also be a reason some label themselves differently.”

Unpopular Opinion:

“No thank you” is a complete response, that does not require explanation, justification, or a mounted defense.

When social pressure leads to favoritism, policy can aim to reduce the bias by affecting its source. What if the source that we thought matters, does not, but favoritism is? There could be multiple sources!

@dumpsterqueer I'm hoping this will sort itself out.

The only leavers we have are known #identites, the ability to exclude, and #socialPressure. If there's bad actors complain to your #admin and the admin of the site the person is posting from.

Bad actors over time will either move to spaces they're welcome at. Or they're already there and it's the space that needs to be excised.

It takes action though.

As
- 👩‍🔬 biomed researcher w/ bona fide credentials (See how that works, E Holmes?)
- a 2x tech entrepreneur
- a woman "of a certain age" in tech industry populated by bros my kid's age

I struggle 2 articulate my reaction 2 Holmes

She's a 👩 who almost did it, except
- All FITYMI
- Endanger lives&health/didn't care
- Deceive investors/CMS/FDA/etc
- Attempt 2 destroy whistleblowers/Schultz family😔
- Focus on personal fame
- Used looks/fakery, but #socialpressure

下乡的抑郁第一书记同事说过一阵就去办离婚手续，死心了，不想挽回了。等九月份大女儿由他岳父和他一起带，在单位附近租个房子上小学。人家都生了两个孩子并且要离婚了，我一个孩子还没生出来。。#socialpressure

Burden of Messages (July 2021)

Sometimes we feel pressured by a message, pressured to respond. As if the burden of the whole world was on our shoulders. But sometimes responding to the message, replying to the message, does nothing to relieve the burden. And yet the messages keep coming...
