I remember seeing someone say that valved respirators still substantially reduce the number of exhaled viral particles by the wearer vs. nothing. I can't remember who wear taking about it, though, and I'm curious about it.

Well, my sister who thinks COVID is over is puking her guts out. That's gotta suck for her.

I just don't get people...

Even if the most contagious disease in the world was miraculously gone (it's definitely fucking not), is wearing a mask THAT much more awful than feeling like absolute shit half the time?

@PacificNic #actuallyautistic #fellowshipOfTheMask you will find this interesting. As I read your post I was thinking you were discussing masking that neurodivergents seem to have to do to function and everything you said fits .. how brave snd exhausting both are…I do both!

I asked my brother if he'd be okay with masking while we hung out outdoors and he complained it would feel "sterile".

My dude, that's the point. 🌈

I often put on a brave face and talk about confidence while masking.

BUT

I do that because I find shifting the perspective and taking back my own power helps me cope.

It IS hard masking. I feel the discomfort, too. Sometimes I'm scared. Sometimes I'm REALLY scared. Often, I fumble my responses when I'm interrogated about my mask. What we are doing is not easy at all. People DO get to me. Masking when nobody else does is unnatural, socially.

Just know that, despite my posts about confidence and positivity, I think every single person who is still masking IS brave as hell, whether you feel that way internally or not. Despite those feelings, you are still doing something that is HARD.

That makes you one of the strong ones.

Rmember that time Trump said Grandma had to die for the economy and everyone lost their absolute shit and then, a while later, absolutely nothing changed and everyone started gleefully sacrificing Grandma for brunch?
