considering for how long the CDC and WHO refused to admit that COVID is airborne, idk about that
pro-vaxxers as well who stopped masking against covid
writing Nazi does the same thing without passerby’s thinking you’re the Nazi for doing graffiti of swastikas
this lead me to discover that there’s a Reddit-like client for Bluesky. That’s genuinely a great feature that they are open enough for that
I just made up the genocide Spain committed in the Americas? lol ok buddy
which part don’t you understand? maybe I can explain
I didn’t look into that yet but I assume the leftist parties probably convinced some to pacify
I didn’t say they did. Spanish versions from Latin America are still marginalized though because the indigenous peoples heavily influenced the language and the vocabulary, etc. that’s why Spaniards get judgemental when they “correct” Latine people because they view their language as inferior and grammatically incorrect
I don’t wear small size so keep that in mind when reading.
look through ppeo.com or on savewo.com. some models have size charts in the description but I wouldn’t rely on them too much. the only way to know is to try every size and check which one fits you best. there are stores selling mask samples so you could use that. r/masks4all probably has a link.
the short answer is colonization. the US school system admires the Castilian language more because they have a shared history with the Spanish empire of using European languages to commit cultural genocide against the indigenous peoples of America
what does he have to do with the 2001 worker uprisings? this is a different political movement
it’s more complicated than that as it involves fucking with someone’s cognitive state without their consent, it’s not as simplistic as “blowing someone’s high”. if you look in Juno’s playlist they have a video mentioning that sending someone into withdrawal can sometimes be more dangerous than an overdose.
also, why risk sending them into withdrawal when you can do your due diligence instead?
I wonder how an article in a medical journal “Treating overdose without blowing a patient’s sweet high” would go.
you’re right, it would probably go horribly because most medics are fucking ghouls when it comes to substance users. they treat them like subhumans. and that’s exactly the reason why they’re lagging behind compared to street medics and harm reduction professionals. that’s what leads to doctors administering naloxone to punish patients even when they’re not ODing, just because they enjoy seeing them suffer.
that’s why you sometimes see people bragging about how they administered 2 doses at once instead of waiting because they’re more concerned with making the victim sober than keeping them safe.
it boils down to whether you respect substance users’ autonomy or you’re just doing it to be seen as a savior. ask around the people that have been woken up with nasal sprays versus IM and they’ll tell you why they fucking hate it
check to see if there’s a mask bloc near you as they offer free respirators to anyone who needs them and they organize political actions to encourage mask wearing in all public spaces. https://maskbloc.org/. I also highly recommend r/Masks4All, their wiki is packed with so many tips on how to save money when buying masks in bulk. if you’re comfortable with wearing an elastomeric respirator, your wallet is gonna thank you immensely as the price per lifetime use is laughably cheaper compared to buying disposable respirators multiple times per year. one model that I like is Honeywell 7700 with P100 filters.
one of the most effective individual actions you can take is fit-testing your respirator to make sure it’s not leaking. stick to N95 respirators and higher and do a qualitative fit test at home. some mask blocs buy Portacount machines communally so they can offer free fit testing to the people who contact them. if that’s not available locally, contact workplace safety companies to book a quantitative fit test with specialized equipment that you probably couldn’t afford to buy for yourself. some of them also rent out Portacount machines although more rarely.
get educated on the swiss cheese model and stack up prevention methods instead of relying on a standalone one-size-fits-all solution.
you might wanna carry around an air purifier or build your own DIY model that’s cheaper and more effective than most options on the market. you can also run it on a portable battery since the fans only consume 10W at max load. check out the r/crboxes subreddit if you need to ask questions, they’re full of helpful people.
get connected with your local disability community as they have been battling eugenics for decades and developing novel ways of surviving pandemics since forever. ask your local immunocompromised neighbors what measures they’re taking to stay alive. even if you’re able-bodied, their safety measures will undoubtedly benefit you as well.
I’m leaving this option for last because it’s not affordable for most people, but you might wanna look into Far-UVC lighting to disinfect the air. https://cybernightmarket.com/products/mini-far-uvc-lights-set
who are you talking about in particular?
by giving the workplaces back to the workers. tax the rich by eliminating their profit and redistributing the fruits of labor where it belongs.
the Argentinian example is extremely inspiring for workplace self-management:

I would argue just like Juno did that the naloxone dose being too high has nothing to do with ease of administration as that’s already ensured by the spray being so easy to use. it looks more like severe negligence and ableism from the pharma companies to me.
as far as I understand, accounting for the nasal route only having 50% bioavailability, shouldn’t a nasal spray have a maximum of 0.8 mg of naloxone? Juno said that there are people working on putting lower doses on the market for general distribution.
they also mention that it’s possible to stop the overdose without ruining someone’s high but that probably requires more educated training than most harm reduction resources offer. sounds to me like people are shifting blame from themselves forcing someone into withdrawal to the substance user being “violent” (this is extremely rare and mostly a rumor started by copaganda and ableist healthcare workers).
I recommend watching Juno’s entire playlist on naloxone harm reduction. they’re a harm reduction educator and substance user and they have more intimate knowledge than the sterile pamphlets that medical institutions put out.
people often get agitated because you’re forcing them into acute opioid withdrawal by administering too much naloxone. the nasal type that most civilians have access to contains 4 mg vs the 0.4 mg intramuscular that EMS workers administer. this comes out to a 5 times higher dose than strictly necessary. source:
Based on a relative bioavailability of 50%, an initial 2 mg Naloxone Hydrochloride Nasal Spray dose would be considered equivalent to 1 mg IM dose and a 4 mg Naloxone Hydrochloride Nasal Spray dose would be equivalent to 2 mg IM dose, which corresponds with the maximum recommended initial dose in adult clinical guidelines.
I can’t say there’s an easy alternative but anyone who’s able should contact harm reduction orgs to get trained in administering intramuscular naloxone. nasal works too, but be mindful that the person you’re “helping” is gonna have probably the worst day of their life.
people should also be aware there’s a lot of seemingly helpful information out there influenced by copaganda warning civilians that substance users are dangerous/violent and to stay away/call the cops. this is a fucked up way to do harm reduction and really dehumanizing to substance users.
edit: replaced precipitated withdrawal with acute opioid withdrawal.
obviously but even if you were made legally female overnight that doesn’t dictate your gender
