I live in an area currently experiencing significant wildfires & smoke, so I wear a mask when riding my bike. Doesn’t make any sense to try and control what people do with their bodies

Bird flu is starting to spread (in humans) in Texas, Michigan, Colorado, and Wisconsin. But the masks are the problem.

not gonna lie, getting pretty tired of being looked at weird for this. at this point if someone makes me take it off I’m just gonna launch into a coughing fit in their face.

People change their attitude real fast if you say “oh sorry, if you’re okay with me giving you [insert random sickness] I’ll happily take my mask off”

Chronic Illness

!chronicillness@lemmy.world

Create post

A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
  4. No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
