#wear a goddamn mask

[bluebelly-sun-serpentine]

I tested negative yesterday and was feeling better and now today it’s positive and my lungs feel weirder again. Today was the first day I cried even though I’ve spent years dreading Covid and doing everything I can to avoid it and educating myself and the people around me about what can go wrong, useful safety measures, what to do when you do get sick.

I know that all things considered I’m doing a lot better than I could be, but I’ve fallen so far behind in my work and schoolwork, and the room in which I’ve been isolating is so loud and so not conducive to sleep. I’m just so tired and discouraged. Yesterday I thought I might finally get out here, but now it looks like I’m likely to hit the three week mark. Getting anything done with ADHD is already a stretch, but doing it when stuck in one cluttered room, while sick, while under-slept, is just… it’s just not happening. And likely by the time I do test negative my PMDD will hit, and then the week of endometriosis-induced couch time. I’ll miss more than a month of my life because some complete fuckwit decided to come to school unmasked when sick.

I don’t even know how I’m going to go back to class and pretend to be friendly with these people. I am at the “I’d rather deck you than get within 30 feet of you and pretend you’re not a piece of shit” stage.

COVID is NOT over. Keep masking, don't get an illess that will cause you to become disabled, even if you have a mild or asymptomatic case. Or, ya know, die.

People just aren't counting the deaths anymore.

Keep masking.

not a single goddamn person in my family wears masks despite me having developed a few autoimmune issues/lots of other health issues, my little cousin who has cancer who they still visit, and my 94yr old grandmother who I live with who has an autoimmune disease and when I say anything about them maybe at least wearing a mask I get chewed out about how “masks are why everyone’s gone crazy” and “we as humans need to see other human faces”and “masks cause depression and violence” and “ masks cause you to have worse immune systems”

And yes they do watch Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson and believe Elon musk is a genius who’s going to save humanity

#fuck my life #covid isn't over #wear a goddamn mask #have some basic fucking empathy for your fellow humans #and some care for your own goddamn self #covid 19 #I hate my family sometimes #also if you watch and believe any of the bullshit rogan peterson and musk spew get tf off my blog and do some deep critical thinking #chronic illness #autoimmune

dark rant (Covid)

My partner has had a Covid rebound, my own symptoms are still lingering, and with every article on long Covid I see I'm immensely scared that my stupid fucking desire to not have tits condemned him, and me, or either of us, to a life of irreparable brain and organ damage.

I cannot undo what has happened but boy, if I'd know that THIS is the true price we'd have to pay for my surgery at this time, I wouldn't have gone. I'm just devastated. And so scared.

#Covid #coronavirus #top surgery #hospitals #wear a goddamn mask #why the fuck did we go out of our way to get vaccinated if we STILL get such shitty cases of Covid #despair #fear #illness

[lavender-femme]

Definitely think some of what I’m experiencing is long covid. With an inhaler, steroids, antibiotics, and a bunch more this should not still be this awful. I’ve been getting really short of breath and tired easily.. and it’s not getting better

I like the general fandom trend to just take the plot of Hyrule Warriors as a loose guideline at best and just use the whole concept as a good excuse to get blorbos to interact across timelines, BUT I'm very disappointed that everyone is missing the comedic potential of a very specific squad of characters:

Young Link (aka Mask), who walks out of the nightmare of Majora's Mask and immediately gets portal kidnapped into a temporal war, takes one look at the whole mess and decides that you could not fucking pay him to admit to being the resident expert on Time Shenanigans. He introduces himself with the title of Hero of Termina, and definitely doesn't have any other ones, that would be crazy. Hero of Time? Never heard of him.

Tetra, who is a kickass pirate captain with zero patience for people trying to shove her into the Designated Princess role, and realizes immediately that Oh Fuck, this Hyrule has a lot of Ideas about how the Hero and the Princess are supposed to properly play their parts, the second they realize she's technically a Zelda they're gonna shove her in a goddamn dress and damsel her again, that's not happening. So she's definitely just a really cool pirate captain, nothing else going on here at all, definitely not the heir of the Hylian royal family in her time, that'd be crazy.

Ravio, who is literally just a palette swapped Link, meaning that the second his hood comes off, things are gonna get Awkward. There's no way in hell he's dealing with all that Hero baggage, that's Link work, so that giant bunny hood/mask is practically superglued to his head, and he's not taking it off for love or money.

Spirit Tracks Zelda, who is just in the Phantom Armour the whole time, and passing herself off as just a friendly ghost posessing a suit of armour to help the Hero of Spirits. Of course she isn't Princess Zelda, that's ridiculous, if she were a Zelda then people would start getting really weird about her technically being dead, and boy does that ever sound like a whole Thing she doesn't want to deal with, so she can't possibly be Zelda, she's just a nice ghost knight. Also, her teenage grandma is here, and that's kinda weird, so it's easier to just not admit to being royalty and avoid that awkward conversation.

Finally there's Sheik, who is not the Princess Zelda of the era straight up abandoning her war torn country for months at a time so she can risk her life in extreme cosplay for no clear reason, but is instead the actual Sheik from Ocarina of Time, who just beat Ganondorf like a month ago and is still trying to process what the fuck to do now. Also, he's been pretending to be a boy since he was ten, and is realizing there's a pretty good chance that he isn't pretending anymore, so that's a whole other can of worms. But for the last seven years of his life, being Princess Zelda meant certain death, so he's not really inclined to introduce himself like when in a new and stressful situation (not to mention he might actually just not be a girl named Zelda anymore), so he automatically introduces himself as just Sheik the spooky ninja man, and fuck he's in too deep to back out now, looks like he's committing to the bit. If you think you sense the Triforce of Wisdom on him, no you don't.

Cue shenanigans as the five of them attempt to hide that they're all actually kind of A Big Deal. The group motto is "Nobody says shit", which is usually delivered as a frantic hiss whenever someone slips up. Just the reunion between Sheik and Mask alone would be absolutely buckwild given how they parted, and how they're both frantically pretending to Not be involved with each other. For added hilarity and/or drama, Sheik gives his semi-bullshit cover story of having just been a friend of the Hero of Time, then runs into said Hero of Time and they both have to desperately pretend not to know each other, because if anyone picks up on the mountain of baggage between them then Mask is busted, and he won't hesitate to drag Sheik down with him out of sheer spite. Not to mention the weird balance of Sheik being used to this Link being a teenager that's actually a small child, and now has to adjust to Link who is a small child that's actually a teenager.

Also, i really feel like we're all missing out on the comedy potential of Ganondorf recognizing Young Link on sight and the two of them immediately launching into a grudge match with some extremely personal and specific insults on both sides. Meanwhile literally everybody else is just standing there watching, trying to process the fact that out of every single person that's been pulled out of time, Ganondorf only has personal beef with a literal nine year old.

I just feel like we're all really sleeping on the potential for Shenanigans here. The whole thing is an absurd mess, why not have some fun with it?

#legend of zelda #hyrule warriors #for the record im picturing the sheik-mask reunion as being the spiderman pointing meme for like five minutes #also my mental image of sheik is extremely Bad haircut (he does it himself with a knife and doesnt care about making it even) #and a ridiculous tanline across his face from wearing a mask all day #OOT magiaclly growing out zelda's hair and manifesting a Royal Gown was some top tier bullshit and i'm always angry about it #like dude. literally all of princess zelda's finery was made for a ten year old #she's like eighteen now. nobody's making royal finery for teenage zelda. where was she supposed to get that dress. #i am eternally on my agenda to let zelda wear some goddamn pants without an immediate magic makeover to *fix* it #anyways nintendo's sexism aside i like sheik being trans its very fun and sexy of him #tfw you go into hiding to escape political assassination and accidentally trans your gender in the process

lol i broke my record yesterday. Methinks we're in a surge

my fucking boss came into work sick very insistent that he'd checked and it was just a cold because he's a fucking liar

#original #i should have been more careful #and when i knew i had to eat lunch at my desk i should have like #grabbed some meal shakes i could chug in the back room so as not to take my mask off at my desk #but i'm already the only person at work who still wears a mask all day and i just wanted to eat my goddamn lunch

[bluebelly-sun-serpentine]

I'm free!

I finally tested negative two days in a row after nearly 3 weeks of being stuck in one room, masking around the house, coordinating showers, feeling aimless and cooped up. I'm still not recovered but at least now I can hug my partner again, use my own workspace, get back to my necessary routines, hopefully actually get things done. What a relief.

#original photography #covid 19 #covid isn't over #wear a goddamn mask #not giving the people who got me sick the time of day when I go back to class though #just gonna hang out in my own little corner with my friends who aren't selfish dicks #preferably outside

"It’s interesting how often people cite “CDC guidance” as their reason for unmasking. Although the CDC has absolutely participated in and cosigned the mainstream minimizing of the illness, even the CDC still acknowledges that vulnerable people are at risk from COVID infection. They simply encourage the public to let those people die.

During an interview with the BBC in the fall, Dr. Fauci famously said aloud “You’ll find the vulnerable will fall by the wayside. They’ll get infected, they’ll get hospitalized, and some will die.” Should he have characterized any other vulnerable group this way (“You’ll find Native people will fall by the wayside,” “You’ll find trans people will fall by the wayside,” “You’ll find Black people will fall by the wayside,” “You’ll find women will fall by the wayside”) there would surely have been an almighty backlash. But to say medically vulnerable people must die so the rest of us may have brunch indoors does not beget such a reaction- never mind that all the above-named groups- Native people, trans people, Black people and women- are at a higher risk for Long COVID, and other poor outcomes from COVID." ... "The move to frame the requirement of a public safety measure- no different from requiring seatbelts, helmets, pants and shoes in public- as a violation of bodily autonomy came directly from groups like the Atlas Network, which, as you might gather from its Ayn-Rand-worshipping name, opposes all public regulation. Meanwhile, we continue to violate the bodily autonomy of disabled people by making participation in public life contingent on accepting forcible, continual reinfections. Since Biden’s COVID normalization campaign, MAGA-style rhetoric about how disabled people should “stay home forever” and how they are “useless” and “weak” has absolutely infiltrated left spaces. Many disabled people, in fact, are effectively “staying home forever.” They are shielding themselves from a disease that may kill them, and certainly would likely lower their baseline health, and have been for years. Meanwhile, the pleas of these incredibly isolated people for the bare minimum of solidarity- please at least mask up indoors when not eating or drinking- are ignored because that is apparently too difficult for the mental health of abled people." ... "A last point I will address, I did see questions about how we are supposed to “force” people to mask. Disabled people, vulnerable people, and left groups generally do not have the power of the state. We are not going to be engaging in “policing,” because nobody is going to end up in jail, physically hurt, on probation, or with limited job prospects because of our community care. Simply write “masks required” on your event invites, distribute masks wherever possible (contact your local Mask Bloc!), and do your best to spread information while modeling good praxis by masking yourself. For the most part, people are following the crowd. They will do what the majority is doing, and many will be happy to mask if it is normalized instead of stigmatized.

A left that purges its spaces of everyone who values community care, everyone who is willing to experience a minor inconvenience for the well-being of another, everyone who thinks it’s all of us or none of us, is a drastically weakened left. A left that does not incorporate disability praxis is drastically limiting its own scope and ability to be effectual. A left that mocks vulnerable groups and seeks to justify harm to them is not grounded in real justice and has only a superficial understanding of its own aims. Join us in masking, keep your comrades safe, and relish the beauty of avoiding illness while knowing you did your part to protect others. It’s a good feeling at the end of the day, I promise you that."

I've had anxiety pretty much all my life and having my fears/concerns brushed off is not a new thing for me and sometimes it's justified, but it is uniquely annoying in this case because I keep being right, repeatedly, throughout the pandemic, and people are still acting like I'm just being my panicky self and it's not as big a deal as I'm making it.

#for months my mom kept getting on my case about masking in the common areas of her complex #'everyone here is elderly they don't go out! why are you still wearing a mask here?' #and then suddenly what do you know two of her neighbors have covid and I was right #everyone: why are you still isolating and masking so much the pandemic is over! #me: it is not fucking over and it's gonna get worse again because of this #a couple months later: oh god there's a new variant that resists vaccines we couldn't possibly have predicted or prevented this #ironically I got covid somewhere highly improbable back in 2022 and it promptly made my anxiety like 5x worse so now I'm even more annoying #I also just kinda. got worse at spelling and keeping track of information #it's deeply frustrating but at least I never lost taste/smell and meds have helped with the anxiety so eh #still this could have been avoided if people would just take the goddamn thing seriously #and I'm gonna be salty about it for the rest of my life
