“After a truly “mild” COVID infection in 2022, we had cardio-pulmonary symptoms persist for 6+ months…” Brian & Britt #MaskUp especially at the “Big 3”. Chatted w. @msjulieslam.bsky.social at a @positivedeviance.bsky.social event. www.instagram.com/p/DZBqQGjRPq5/ www.facebook.com/share/p/18sc...

“It’s 2026, and culture has frozen into nostalgia…Referencing the past is essential, but copying it reflexively is unproductive.” i am once again thinking about this @positivedeviance.bsky.social article:

COVID Consciousness as a Subculture

The nostalgia freeze is a crisis of imagination. COVID consciousness is a way out.

COGE and Project 2029 are both stupid names for the same reason—we need new ideas to build a new world, and slightly altering the names of fascist programs does not give the impression you’re changing much.

Hey, that’s me!

Imagine a world where all live entertainment venues are equipped like this: "Positive Deviance [a music collective] has continued to put on events roughly once a month...precautions include a mask requirement, Pluslife-tested performers, #FarUVC technology, and air filtration." #VirusFreeAirNow

For @thesicktimes.org, I looked at the state of COVID safety in live music and how artists and event producers can still protect themselves and audiences thesicktimes.org/2026/02/17/t...

📡Whether you're a pro or getting back into it, here's a refresher on some masking best practices. 1) Mold the nose bridge with both hands 2) Adjust the respirator so that it fits above the nose and below the chin 3) Check the seal by blowing out to make sure no air leaks

"It’s 2026, & culture has frozen into nostalgia— ...creators like Abby Mahler have spoken about the ways COVID has kept us stuck...refusing to grieve, or even acknowledge, the lost life, ability, time, opportunities, & freedoms we had before the ongoing pandemic made the world more hostile."

COVID Consciousness as a Subculture

The nostalgia freeze is a crisis of imagination. COVID consciousness is a way out.
