One of the unforseen and unaddressed issues with Joe Biden politicizing PPE and public health measures between 2020 and 2021 did is make the necessary protective measures high risk people and people with long covid must take to protect their lives seem like a political statement rather than medical tools.

Joe Biden has made life in public unsafe for the disabled not just by stopping almost all covid mitigation but also by emboldening violent fascists who harass and attack those masked in public while making the more 'moderate' members of American society into ableist minimizers who will standby and watch while it happens.

That was trump and Republicans.

And something Biden gleefully adopted instead of standing against like he promised

The full quote from Biden has him acknowledging that there is still an ongoing issue with COVID-19.

"The pandemic is over," he said. "We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape, and so I think it's changing, and I think [the Detroit auto show resuming after three years] is a perfect example of it."

While this is still not good, it does add significant context that the image and partial quote does not.

For anyone seeking the source of the quote and more context on the conversation it was this 60 minutes interview.

His administration has been spreading covid misinfo the whole time

Biden definitely politicized PPE and public health and it's statements like this

Combined with statements like this

And this

And this

That makes people react like this

I know we all like to pretend our words and actions exist in a vacuum but the president's statements absolutely do not. They have a deep affect on the public and specifically the people forced to live under his administration. Fascists and violence don't exist in a vacuum either.

But to suggest that the president of the USA bears no responsibility for the reactionaries that his party helped platform is just straight up misinfo.

Like I'm sorry but "that was Trump and Republicans" "yeah Biden said COVID is real even if he also said it's over" are you serious.

Can y'all stop talking about Trump for 5 minutes and focus on the fact that Biden said NOTHING could be done to save 600,000 lives???

He is ABSOLUTELY turning y'all into people who'd watch people die at the hands of reactionaries just for a political point. You're doing it right now.

So to reiterate OP's point yes, he has made the world more dangerous place by politicizing the pandemic more than Trump already had.

Biden has instituted a 50% tariff on needles and syringes, and a 25% tariff on ppe like surgical masks and gloves. This is at the same time that US manufactures in these fields are laying off workers and moving production to south and central america.

Biden: “I buried that dog….”

Yall: that’s not all he said. That’s just a sensationalist headline. Here’s more important context: “I buried that dog with my own two hands. I have no hate in my heart for canines, but it is my duty as an American and as your president to see all dogs six feet under.”

before you respond to anon hate resend it to yourself with a carefully placed typo that you can then mock at their expense

i think if i got to pet and caress a girl's achingly hard dick through her clothes i really would end up wide-eyed and cooing like it's a precious little animal

Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by

Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.

You. Are. Overstimulated.

People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.

These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.

Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time

Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!

you might especially feel this way if someone picks up on your bad mood, but all their kind suggestions make you want to bite and scream. in my experience that’s not because you hate them or even the suggestion, it’s probably because *any* new information or ideas, no matter how gentle, is just Too Many Thoughts. this is when it helps a lot to have a plan in advance, even if the plan is just “take medication” or “go to hidey-hole,” because trying to think of a solution in the moment might be beyond you.

(also if ur overstimulated, it’s often worth checking if you need to eat/sleep/shower as well, because that might be part of what’s overstimulating you!)

chronic pain is also a source of overstimulation

Thinking about dating a hyena girl and she makes me present my erection as a sign of submission to her

Every load of tgirl cum that doesn't end up inside another girl is a policy failure

the "pleasure to have in class" boy to "such a good doggy" girl pipeline

some of you just cannot accept that “i just don’t like it” is a complete reason to not engage with media or a facet of media

funniest possible advice

hey can i enter your room without knocking while you're stroking your dick and sit in the corner silently watching with really wide eyes and find out together if being creeped out makes you softer or harder

the world if I could go topless under my mesh sweater at work...

guys my dog is so edible like and rb w "thank you, prey animal." for 7 years of good luck!!!

hey team, we don't have to do this!

yeah yeah girlcock this girlcock that, but are you sitting next to her on the couch when you dont want to fuck her? are you holding her in platonic comfort when shes sad? are you grabbing her by the wrist at the function so she doesnt get separated from the rest of the girls? are you helping her zip up her dress? is she invited to girls night?

are you doing it when you don't want to fuck her? when she's not your girlfriend or your type or hot or skinny or goofy? are you doing it when she's just your friend?

are you treating her like Just Some Chick? the one who you're Not in love with but just like in a normal way?

are you being a girl friend to her when she's just a girl and a friend? when the thought doesn't make you have couvidh?

new jewerly!

PRO TIP: if you have a dick you can wear a thong and take photos and people on the internet will say nice things about you :)
