In one year, New York City's messaging went from "you do you" to "mask up with an N95."

This didn't happen by chance. Advocates and groups like Covid Advocacy NY organized to take down the MTA signs and attended every NYC council hearing on COVID to push for better messaging. Advocacy works!

@FormerlyStC I got this one as a gift, I usually never buy them

Does anyone else feel trapped when they have a hoodie on that doesn't have a zipper?

It takes me too long to realize I'm too warm and then I start to freak out until I can wiggle out of it. ><

@Kellyshenanigans she still supports her kid, but yea, were kind of the go-between for helping her kid as well.
@grrrr_shark thanks! 😅
@joshsusser thanks! Nice to see you again too! Yea I feel like this is more of a mastodon post lol.
@grrrr_shark I just keep correcting her and I'm sure I'm seen as "combative" for asking her to respect me as a human being.
