👉"Mask-wearing effectively reduces short- and long-range transmission. We modelled surgical masks (50% filtration efficiency) and N95 masks (95% efficiency)"
"N95 masks showed near-zero secondary infections across all outbreak scenarios"
University of Hong Kong researchers analyzed 40 airplane outbreaks of COVID-19 and flu.
Infection risk was highest near infected passengers.
Models found N95 masks nearly eliminated transmission, while doubling ventilation alone was insufficient.

Oof, that hit.
Men may admire intelligent women in principle, yet respond differently when confronted with their intelligence in person. As I told @JosieCox_NYC, it is another way women are considered 'never quite right' at work.

‘Just a cold’
Al Pacino says he passed out with COVID in his apartment, woke up to five paramedics in his living room, and was told his pulse had stopped
"I felt I left the Earth when I passed out."
"Next thing I know, I open my eyes and there's five paramedics in my living room."
"And they were my doctors, but I couldn't recognize them from head to toe."
"But they said, my pulse had stopped."
The last thing he remembers is asking the name of the guy filling him up with fluids. Then he wakes up to two doctors in what looked like space suits, and his first thought is that it looks like a film set. Fifty years in front of cameras will do that.

Now that the vote validated Jelly’s decision, I’m bringing back the article I wrote defending her decision and discussing what it looks like to truly support women as viewers! #Survivor #Survivor51
Hello everyone! I wrote about the decision Jelly made to take out Alexis over Devin, why many of the standard principles of feminism do not apply on #Survivor, and what it means to support female contestants. I’d love to hear what you think! #Survivor51

Daily N95 wear has been a life-changer for me. Not being sick for 6 years was like getting 14-21 days back per year from a single acute illness. Let’s say 84-126 extra healthy days. It’s incredible when you think about it. Masks on planes =no brainer. Daily public masking? Same.

one of my core wounds is that the main thing i remember being told over and over as a LITTLE GIRL was that i “cried too much” and was “too sensitive”

It’s sad to think features like these have survived centuries, thousands of years of human history.
Hooded eyes, aquiline noses, strong eyebrows, round cheeks, thinner lips, tall, larger built, square jaws, the very faces our mothers, our grandmothers carried, all of it stretching back to queens and peasants alike.
Features that have survived it all, seen it all, and all for you to be told now — well it’s just not attractive.
Imagine inheriting a face shaped by the entirety of human history, imagine being blessed with a beauty that has survived the many rises and falls of humanity, only to be told you now have to give it all up to the vanities of this generation. What worth is beauty without any history? What worth is beauty without meaning? What worth is beauty when it stops being something we recognize and instead becomes just something we manufacture?

“They would tell us if it was that bad”.
Nope, they told you in 2022 they were delegating the responsibility for public health to you, you just ignored that part.

Disturbing how numb we've become to having a serial rapist pedophile as our president. Yawning replies from people saying we already know this about him or MAGA laughing despite the scale of victims. The normalization of sexual violence against women & children MAGA has achieved.

We can’t celebrate our birthdays by throwing parties or having a weekend away. We can’t like books and movies “for children”. We can’t collect stuff. We can’t write fanfics or enjoy fandom.
All we’re allowed to do at 30 as women is get married, breed and do our taxes.

Winter is coming, and the rain is on its way. The roof of our house is cracked, but we don’t know if water will come pouring in through these fissures—life is truly working against us. 🥺

I feel restless and tired, and I think a lot about my future: will I be able to succeed and achieve my dream? 🥺
I really need your help and words of encouragement. Please share this post and leave a comment to motivate me. 🥺🙏🏻
There's no light to study; I feel like life is working against me and doesn't want me to move towards my goal. There are only 20-25 days left until the midterms. I really need your support and words of encouragement. 🙏🏻🙁

the thing is that victims of abuse or people in toxic situations or environments aren’t going to be people you like. they might not even be good people. doesn’t change the fact that what happened to them was wrong. and that perfect victim mentality is gonna eat yall up every time
