We must normalize #masks as a public #health tool before itโs too late.
If you care about #socialjustice, #disability rights, fighting fascism or your healthโฆ you should be wearing a mask. Ideally an #N95 or better.
The more of us wearing them, the harder they will be to ban.

Every year on May 1st, the world comes together to celebrate International Labour Day, also known as May Day. This day pays tribute to the hardworking individuals whose dedication shapes economies and communities across the globe. Itโs not just about recognitionโitโs about empowering workers to know and stand up for their rights.
Originating from the 1886 movement for an eight-hour workday, marked by the historic and tragic Haymarket Affair in Chicago, Labour Day symbolizes the ongoing fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and social justice.
In India, Labour Day has been observed since 1923, reminding us of the importance of protecting workersโ rights and dignity.
Letโs honour the progress made and acknowledge the challenges still faced by workers everywhere. Join the conversation, support workersโ rights, and stand for fairness.

Step 12 rewrite:
Having BECOME WOKE as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to FOLX WHO SHARE OUR PRIVILEGES, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

The Twelve Steps of AA
Step 1
We admitted we were powerless over alcohol โ that our lives had become unmanageable.
Step 2
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Step 3
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Step 4
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Step 5
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Step 6
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Step 7
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Step 8
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Step 9
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Step 10
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Step 11
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
Step 12
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Thinking about how I've said the 90s was culturally gripping the mic and stammering, "Hi I'm Bob and I'm an alcoholic," where maybe we didn't do anything about systemic social and cultural issues, but took the necessary first step and admitted we had a problem. Which empowered later generations to start doing something.
Leaning full into the 12 Step metaphor, in the 90s we began the fearless and searching moral inventory which got even more fearless and searching when social media empowered us to communicate these ideas more rapidly and without filters.
I know 12 Step programs have a bad rap, largely due, IMHO, to them being abused in some places but not all. But if you read the steps, other than some of the God stuff (GenX definitely skipped step 3 because we assumed nothing would restore society to sanity), the larger part of society has been following the 12 Steps for the last three decades.
It's the making amends steps that the other part of society is fighting as hard as it can.
If we are a collective mind, fascism is like the injured ego feels unbearable shame and pushes back with waves of deflection, denial, and destruction.
While the rest of us are the other part of the mind saying no, no we need to push through the discomfort and apologize, change our life, and make up for the past, and make our future actions right.
I'll follow this with the steps so you can compare.
(I wish I'd written this better but my editing brain is tired. I just wanted to get this idea down.)
(I feel like I could rewrite these to apply to our societal reckoning. I can relate the God aspects to having faith in our fellow man to do what is needed. Because that's the point of those steps, allowing you to let go of what you can't change while remaining hopeful. But you still have to do the work.)
