Please boost.
I am starting my thesis research. I am looking for community health centers in a variety of locations, and looking for their websites/FB pages. I am investigating the rhetorics used surrounding trans care, trans bodies, and trans experiences within those community health centers. I am looking at their methods of community engagement with the trans community.
If you are trans (or an ally) who knows about or engages with a community health center in your area, could you please reply here or DM me? I want to cast a wide net for my research, but want to do so by starting with actual trans people in those communities.

The funny thing is, we can stop playing Russian roulette at any point in time.
Mask, demand clean air for safe learning and working environments, etc.

A recent @washingtonpost@twitter.com opinion piece speculated that COVID-19 deaths are over-counted.
Our new @ConversationUS@twitter.com article explains why this piece is flawed.
COVID-19 deaths are not overcounted; most evidence indicates they are undercounted.

End of a 12 hour day of clinic, including #MentalHealth care for patients who can’t afford private therapy. Then home visits on a snowy night to give immunocompromised patients a booster of bivalent vaccine (#CovidIsNotOver). Family medicine is about relationships. Goodnight.

Any strategy that locks higher risk people out of society indefinitely is unethical. The only way we can protect the "vulnerable" from this deadly pandemic is with collective action. We all need to do our part to reduce virus transmission and make public spaces accessible to all.

@michael @ProjectN95 @trendless @cmclase another vote for the vitacore N99. It’s a nice snug fit without being too small so things pop out. They’re my go to for most high risk situations.
The next project I’m going to start after trying to systemize the mutual aid network (without functioning like charities)
is a #COVIDsafe citizens coalition.
We may be the only ones masking in some areas, in others it’s half the population. We don’t need to wait for the government to change what we can.

#MillionsMaskMovement
#COVIDSafe

we’ve reached the point where we can unite & elevate.
Reply if you want to be part of this.
Dear #Lazyweb --
Does anyone know of trustworthy #N99 (or equivalent, and not #N95) #respirators that are on the larger size?
I have tried https://wellbefore.com/products/wellbefore-n99-respirator-mask-niosh-approved and like them, but they are too short vertically and my chin wants to pop out when I speak.
Free N95s! NYC! Times Square! Tomorrow! Details at link, including if you want to help: https://med-mastodon.com/@MaksiSanctum/109746631551076850

@cmclase SUPER USEFUL! Thank you SO much!
Jill Filipovic looks at a lawsuit filed in Texas by anti-abortion activists to prevent women from accessing mifepristone, and she concludes,
The "norm of just straight-up lying is pretty baked into the anti-abortion movement."
And why so? "Because it shows that they know they can’t win on the merits." They know that if they tell the truth, they'll lose.
