- I hadn’t heard from my dad in months so I called his local social services to see if they could send anyone to check on him. They said only option was cops showing up. So instead I DoorDashed him cookies & asked the driver to deliver directly to him. He was there thank god.
- Replying to @genderlessfleshDoorDash driver was so freaking sweet about everything. She told my dad to call me. He did not. After I repeatedly called him, he finally emails me some weird, vague transphobic thing. So that’s why we don’t talk anymore. But at least I was able to confirm he was ALIVE.
- Me (masked) “Oh, I’m not sick, I just can’t get sick” Her (in hospital scrubs/no mask), “Do you have an EXCITING vacation planned?” Me, “No. I have a debilitating chronic illness & can’t get more sick.” Her, “Oh, so when you get sick you get REALLY sick?” Me, “Yes…?” Cont…1/2
- Sometimes I think about the dental tech who kept asking me if I was *sure* I wasn’t sick when I showed up to a consult in a N95. If I was sick & trying to hide it why tf would I show up masked? I told her I have chronic illnesses, not an acute one. Later during intake she said, “
- Dental tech: *sees my mask* “Are you sick?” Me: No. I can’t GET sick.” DT: “Are you sure there’s nothing we need to know…?” Me: “I’m chronically ill, not acutely ill.” DT: “So you wear the mask all the time, even at home?” Me: “Yes, but only at home if people come over. I’ve…

- Replying to @genderlessfleshHer, “Ohhh…(takes a step away from me).” Me, “Walking pneumonia is going around! I’ve read accounts of multiple people getting denied xrays of their lungs when they seek care & then it turns out they DID have walking pneumonia.” Her, “Uhhh…uh-huh. Well, see you later…” 2/2
- Replying to @genderlessflesh…yes, let’s hear about those chronic illnesses”. Then she kept asking me questions about my conditions. Like: stfu & don’t grill patients who are doing more to protect themselves, you, and your other patients than you do. Not sorry if I remind you you’re violating your oath.
- Protect yourself against government surveillance, walking pneumonia, bird flu, influenza, and Covid with this one weird trick!
- When my gf & I first started dating, she woke me up for a tornado warning. I got up immediately & we hunkered down in the safest place in my apartment. It was a moment of clarity for both of us. 6 years later & we still take safety seriously, including the ongoing pandemic. It
- 17 year old on reddit reports they’ve had covid 9 times, 2 of which were completely asymptomatic & they only found out bc they had to test for an event. They’ve decided to start masking again. Children have been completely failed by “public health”. This is horrific.
- Oh, we shouldn’t shame doctors for not wearing N95s? You mean the wittle, clueless babies? The poor, innocent doctors who have about a decade of medical education & a massive power differential with patients? The drs who can write anything in our charts & say we’re non compliant?
