"If it was important you wouldn't forget"

When I hyperfocus I sometimes forget to breathe, Karen

Not everyone conforms to your neuro-normative standards, Karen.

Not everyone feels, thinks and acts like you do, Karen.

I literally forget to do the most basic functions of life sometimes, like eating, sleeping, or drinking water when I'm occupied

‘mx’ as a gender neutral title is cool tho. i dont vibe with it like just call me Francis if u wanna be formal but a lot of people DO use it and thats totally understandable. honestly thats one of the few times adding an X into a word makes sense, bc mr and ms are already gendered, a third option should be available to those who prefer that.

but folx and yxll are still painfully stupid, unneeded (folks and yall are already gender neutral like???) and limit accessibility for dyslexic ppl & ppl who use text to speech programs & ppl whos first language isnt english. like its painfully performative and not needed.

Hey idk who needs to hear this, but it’s okay that your room is messy. It’s totally fine if your side table is covered in water cups, if your sheets are all bunched up and there are clothes and books on the floor. Not being able to consistently do these things isn’t a moral failing. It doesn’t matter if you have ADHD, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, physical pain. It’s alright for you to only be able to do the dishes and the laundry, it’s okay for you only be able to make the bed, and it’s okay if all you can do today is stay in bed. You’re not lazy or a slob for wanting to put it off until you’re ready, the day will come.

It’s safe to say the British public aren’t impressed by the government’s new bullshit slogan

I'm gonna fucking cry

A movie about a TEENAGE boy with SCHIZOPHRENIA that's ISNT a horror movie, has a BLACK FEMALE as one of the main characters, DOESN'T put the main character down for his mental disorder, let's the character BE MORE THAN HIS MENTAL DISORDER, let's him have A MAIN INTEREST AND HOBBY which is cooking and not something like SCIENCE which they usually give to all schizophrenics or people with mental disorders as a stereotype, AND SO MUCH MORE

I'm going to cry.

Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!

If you want to force people to wear a mask against their will, the burden of proof is on YOU to PROVE that it’s not only SLIGHTLY effective, but actually IMPERATIVE for public health. You have to PROVE that not wearing a mask is more likely to hurt the people around any given individual than the mask is to hurt that individual. Gee that’s a lot of burden. That’s a lot of proof to have to come up with. That’s some complicated data analysis right there.

One shoddily done brand new study that was drummed up suddenly, after years of consistent research showing that cloth masks don’t help and are bad for your health, is not cutting it.

And while we’re at it, just because I’m not necking all over the governmental-corporate science machine’s latest thinkpiece doesn’t mean I’m “anti-science”.

funnysnake2019

Here’s a delightful fact for you: if you, and everyone else, comply with every safety guideline OTHER THAN wearing a mask, you will not gain anything by wearing a mask.

So, let’s go through them.

Do you wash your hands regularly and thoroughly, with soap?

Do you maintain social distancing at all times?

Do you self-quarantine when you have symptoms?

If you answered “yes”, to all three questions, you should be fine.

Also, you are right: there’s no definitive proof for or against the effectiveness of masks. Whether that is enough to unequivocally state that it’s useless and harmful is suspect, though.

Now it’s my turn: where’s the evidence that this is the “governmental-corporate science machine’s latest thinkpiece“, rather than just something scientists are willing to try, because we know very little right now?

Of course, if I come with shoddy clinical trials and you come with something that isn’t at least as good, you can’t be mad at me if I don’t believe that at all.

greater-than-the-sword

Scientists can be as willing to try it as they like. In fact, any individual can be as willing to try it as they like. Anyone who wants to voluntarily engage in this worldwide social/medical experiment is free to do so.

But, my point is, it’s not ethical to force people by law or mandate to participate in what’s essentially a medical experiment.

It seems within the powers of government to take measures to protect the public health. Seeing as mask-wearing is easy and could very well be helpful, it not only seems legitimate, but it becomes one of the very simple charities we can do for others regardless of government mandate. Calling it a medical experiment is hardly fair -- infecting black men with syphilis to study the effect is an unethical medical experiment. Mandating a simple, cheap, completely non-invasive, and at most mildly inconvenient measure to restrict the spread of a virus to vulnerable populations is good governing.

greater-than-the-sword

Calling it “simple, non-invasive and at most mildly inconvenient” is ignorant of people with disabilities at best, and incredibly ableist at worst. I’ve made an entire post already about the difficulties faced by different types of disabled people due to face masks and I received resounding agreement and thanks from these groups. Among them are people with autism and sensory disorders, thermoregulatory disabilities, hearing difficulties, panic attacks, skin conditions and trauma triggers. These are all potentially undiagnosed issues that are incredibly common, not to mention the obvious ones like athsma etc. and they’re not taken seriously.

In principle it IS still a medical experiment even if you think it is or should be harmless. It’s also not equally harmless to everyone, which should be enough to secure freedom of choice.
