BroadwaybabytoPlease stop saying ICE agents are “wearing masks”They’re wearing face coverings. Gaitors.The anti-mask rhetoric has caused untold harm to disabled people. Mask bans have already been enacted in many places. We must fight for our right to continue wearing medical masks & respirators.For those who says this isn’t the right time because there’s a “crisis”, understand that disabled people are often the first targets under fascism. Some places have already criminalized masking. We need to keep each other as healthy as possible.

BroadwaybabytoThe masks ICE agents wear aren’t masks. They’re face coverings designed to hide their identity. The masks disabled people have been pleading to normalize are KN95s, N95s and other respirators.

Maggie MaybeI need to celebrate this win somewhere and none of my friends care about this stuff, but I FINALLY got maintenance at this apartment complex to understand and accept that they will not be allowed in my apartment without masks, no exceptions.It only took five years, me buying signs to put on both doors (they have been there since the summer of 2021), and me slamming the door in their face and locking it before they finally realized this is not negotiable. I’m a little nervous that the two guys coming tomorrow will take their masks off as soon as I go in my bedroom and shut the door leaving them to do their thing, but my plan is to look like crap & cough a lot so I scare them. I know that’s not nice but you gotta do what you gotta do.<a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/MasksWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MasksWork</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ActuallyWinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyWinning</a> 🎉🎈👏🏻🎊

BroadwaybabytoHuge cuts at NIOSH mean that those who reply on respirators to keep themselves safe will have less protection. This impacts firefighters, miners, healthcare workers and all manner of industries. It’s also devastating to the disability community. “You do you” Covid policies left many of us with N95s as our main line of defence against repeat infection.Respirators make public spaces accessible. They allow us to attend healthcare appointments without forced infection.Cutting the people who ensure their quality will endanger disabled lives.<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/06/health/cdc-niosh-cuts-safety/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/06/health/cdc-niosh-cuts-safety/index.html</a><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspoli</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/maskswork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maskswork</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/wearamask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wearamask</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/niosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niosh</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covidisairborne</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covidisnotover</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a>

datum (n=1)the thing about echo chambers, is they reflect back what is put into them, "with character" - think of how a choir sounds in a cathedral, versus outsidenonsense in, nonsense with character outBUTglorious, coordinated, beautiful voices in? Reverberating, amplified, beauty out!what I'm getting at is: yeah, places within Mastodon & Fediverse are clearly echo chambersbut the voices in this concert hall are beautiful singly, and in harmony, and in dissonance. Songs that reflect the human condition, and broader reality.It's not misleading to be in an echo chamber where "2+2=4"[*] and "what does the evidence say" are mantras.I'm sure this is not an original thought, thanks to whoever (in this echo chamber!) planted it in my brain however long ago.[*] <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/masksWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#masksWork</a> and <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CovidIsNotOver</a> !
