CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@ELS Unfortunately, I don’t have any control over that. I will probably just wear my kn95 mask.

This piece by @onqueerstreet is pure I am trying to get better at wearing a mask again. The book event email prompted me to stock up on my favorite black FFP2 masks, but I’m definitely not perfect. Starting masking again in 2025 means I – we – have to confront the fact that maybe we should never have stopped. It’s scary to admit that we might have been harming ourselves and our communities; that our government might not have our best interests at heart.In 2025, wearing a mask is a sign of resistance in an increasingly authoritarian society. It’s a show of solidarity with disabled people. But even if you can’t mask, there are ways to show up and care for the people in your community. Our liberation is interconnected, and so must our efforts to keep each other safe.https://www.theskinny.co.uk/intersections/interviews/community-care-wearing-masks#MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne

"I dream of a future where masks are normalized and I can access healthcare spaces without the increased risk of breathing in a new issue to contend with. Advocating for myself as a patient is challenging enough as it is."#Covid19 #Healthcare #DisabilityJustice #Accessibility #MaskUphttps://thesicktimes.org/2026/04/24/we-need-masks-in-healthcare-now/

Not sure what has shifted but I there were a large number of people masked up at the grocery store today across multiple demographics, to the point that it seemed to make a lot of unmasked people really uncomfortable. It's almost like visibility increases awareness...#maskUp #covidIsNotOver
