this is truly one of the most disturbing and disrespectful things to exist imo. peak colonizer behavior to carve your face into a sacred mountain to mock a people you genocided.

after working in-person again and being the only person who still masks, i do see why people stopped. you spend enough time around people who don’t seem to be getting sick anymore, why would you? and if you were only mildly symptomatic and aren’t aware of updated info, well. .

the thing about Whiteness is that until you understand just how deep and insidious it is, it’s really hard to pinpoint. but once you see it, you realize it’s everywhere. and it’s not White people. it’s this idea that the way White people view the world is the way the world is.

containing and mitigating norovirus spread is HEAVILY reliant on handwashing and disinfecting surfaces, especially in the restroom and around food. main route of transmission is fecal-oral. hand sanitizer does NOT kill Noro. masking also helps 🫶🏽.

some covid cautious people are quickly slipping into this mindset too btw.

another important thing about masking is that it’s really meant to buy us time while we accomplish longer term public health goals like updating air quality infrastructure. and if we can do that, that opens the door to other structural changes around energy and consumption.

Novavax JN.1 is the only new vaccine from which I have seen data against now dominant KP.3.1.1 variant. And that data is excellent, it's almost as effective against KP.3.1.1 as JN.1. Novavax is a safe, broadly and long protective protein adjuvant vaccine.

idk how to properly articulate this, but so much of Whiteness involves domination over the body, emotional and physical. to dominate others you have to disregard your own body so as to not have a shred of empathy for the people you’re dominating (1/2).
