that's totally valid. I don't really use peertube and so my question is, since the program doesn't have that many users anyways, how many creators are relying on getting views from their own instance? I thought they just advertise their channel to outside platforms
I think the glasses fogging up has been somewhat debunked. you can have a mask pass a fit test and still fog up your glasses because you're still exhaling moist/hot air through your mask even when it fits properly.
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
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 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).
