Myself and @sesmith.lol and others were interviewed for the Lancet’s obituary of our friend Alice. <3

I knew I loved you when...You rescheduled our date because you were sick and wanted to protect me

I knew I loved you when...You told me you wanted to use protection

I knew I loved you when...You wore a mask on our date

I knew I loved you when... You used a thermometer to cook our dinner to a safe internal temperature

Looking for a Valentine for that special someone? We made you a few to choose from. We can’t tell you who to love, but we think these are all green flags.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, I'm wearing a mask ‘Cause I care about you A red valentine with two n 95 masks and a number of pink hearts.

Love isn't seasonal and neither is Covid.

You can show people you care by wearing a well-fitted mask and protecting them from infection that could result in long-term, debilitating symptoms.

Love is in the air, so is Covid! Let’s clean the air together! A valentine with clouds at the bottom and hearts, balloons, and gifts floating through the air.

We don't have to keep getting sick all the time!
We don't need to jeopardize people's health.

For over 100 years we've known that many pathogens are airborne, and it's time we do something about it.

"Stop breaking my heart... by ending the chain of transmission." A valentine with an illustration of a red broken heart in the middle. An n 95 mask is in the right corner.

Inaction on the part of governments, medical communities, and the public has left us broken hearted.

And Covid infections leave people with physiologically broken hearts.

consider that they are preparing you for the next pandemic by removing any pretense of protection—they never wanted it for covid, which is why sars2 remains in harmful circulation, & they don’t want it for the next novel pathogen.

this is the preparation. prepare to suffer.

better to mask up now.

If you are scoffing at people for engaging solely online ... have you offered rides to disabled people? Do you mask? Do you reach out to & visit homebound disabled people? Do you help them get mobility aids & other accessibility devices? Do you meet in accessible spaces? And on & on.

I choo-choo-choose to protect you from long Covid. A Valentine with a train wearing an n 95 mask and hearts are coming out the smoke stack.

Breaking the chain of transmission shows a lot of love.

Anyone -adults and children- can be debilitated by Covid, even well after the acute phase (initial symptoms), which is why Long Covid has been referred to as a mass-disabling event.

And a lot of us are either newly disabled due to COVID, we've had existing disabilities exacerbated BY COVID, or we ABSOLUTELY CANNOT take any sort of chances that we might catch COVID, which is STILL FATAL TO MANY and even if it's not immediately fatal, it can screw up your health permanently.

Unmitigated illness is a tool used by fascists to eliminate the groups of people they hate & have deprived of resources, while making money off those who can afford to play the pay-to-win game of for-profit healthcare.

Wearing an n95 is an act of hope, solidarity, & resistance. Give/get mutual aid:

It is not too late to do better.

Deprioritize your short-term discomfort for the sake of long-term justice. Wear an n95 in public spaces to protect yourself & those who are higher risk & less resourced for recover.

Recognize that our resistance must be as intersectional as the impacts of fascism.

Two simple* ways to stop being a cog in the fascist machine in 2026:

1. Leave substack. They fund Nazis. Don’t write, read, or subscribe. Use Ghost, Beehiiv, &c.

2. Wear an n95 in public to protect vulnerable groups & those with less ability or access to resources to recover. Give/get mutual aid:

Please remember that if you’re too sick to protest, boycott or get engaged in the resistance… it’s ok.

Everyone contributes in their own way.

Many disabled people can’t be boots on the ground but want to help any way they can.

Make events inclusive. Focus on accessibility.

Don’t leave us behind

🚨 Champaign Unit 4 is proposing a policy change that re-introduces ambiguity around face coverings.

I raised this before Christmas.
It went viral.
Local news noticed.
And the district backed up.

Now it’s back.
@wcia3news.bsky.social 👇

Myself and several members are going to tomorrow's school board meeting because of this!
I'll have masks and covid tests on me to hand out. Including a few children's masks.

Make 2026 the year you start wearing respirators.
They're much more effective than surgical masks or "face coverings", they're more comfortable, there's different fits and styles to choose from, and you can reuse them a few times before throwing them out.

Also, ICE agents don't wear respirators.

We can’t comply our way out of fascism any more than we can ignore our way out of a pandemic.

ICE is a tool of fascism. So are unmitigated pandemics & the people who won’t wear an n95. So are anti-trans laws & those who want to delay trans liberation. So are genocides & those who ignore them.

Federal Agents Are Violating the Rights of Americans ICE and the National Guard are acting with impunity.

This last week was extremely hard.

A challenge many Americans face is lacking the vocabulary for what is happening on our streets.

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social breaks down how ICE has been turned into a paramilitary force to terrorize citizens.

Repeat after me:

I will wear a N95 respirator as I travel in shared indoor spaces (healthcare facilities, airports, public restrooms, mall, etc)

I will not visit anyone upon feeling ANY symptoms indicating possible infection (e.g., tiredness, headache).

I will test.

Air purifiers are my friend.
