We're too far into the pandemic for it to be comfortable to sit side by side. She hears me, but if she only hears and doesn't connect dots with actions, it baffles me, it bothers me. But do I say that to her? There's a point where yes it is judgment and I'm...not sorry about it, it's so important now, that, to ignore it, to me, says something about the person, it's that big of a thing in our world now, yes.

I feel uncomfortable reading her messages, and uncomfortable with my discomfort; it's two wholly different perspectives, like two different planets, and to comment on her various outings as though I'm not thinking about Covid safety is just hiding in plain sight and faking a happy response when inside I have so many thoughts she doesn't believe matter.

TLDR; don’t gatekeep #CovidCautiousCommunity groups/spaces! It’s so easy to avoid doing so!

Nobody who’s joined a #CovidIsolator group doubts that #CovidIsNotOver. At the same time, we don’t all have cushy #WFH jobs!

We ought to focus on maximizing the benefits of virtual/remote #CommunityBuilding so there’s a robust, established network of #CovidCautious ppl—regardless of income, nationality, ethnicity, race, caste, gender—who can lean on one another. Why do I even have to say this? 🥹

Hello #COVIDcautious & #CovidCautiousCommunity #covidsafe on mastodon. Besides my spouse, I'm the only person I know who still wears a mask, and the only one at work who masks, and still doesnt go out to restaurants or concerts or any public space. I don't even get my own groceries I get them delivered. I feel so alone and so judged, like everyone (including my therapist & GP) thinks I'm crazy and just need to remove my mask and rejoin society. But #CovidIsNotOver
