One of our team members just enrolled in this to test out the system. Their tests shipped in under 3 hours and arrived the next day. 🤯 [head exploding emoji]

🧐 Please note:

The signup has a few nosy questions, which are mandatory. One was about whether you identify as a marginalized gender. Another asked whether you have avoided healthcare recently and why. (Incredibly "covid" wasn't an option? Nevermind "covid expsosure risk in unmasked healthcare settings." Okay! 🫠)

We presume from the phrasing that these are for demographic research purposes.

🤩 One nice thing:

You do NOT need to use the provided tests to access telehealth support or antivirals, so no need to save them for a special occasion.

You can use ANY FDA-approved covid test and still qualify for all features of the program, running thru April 2024.

Now that we're all here, how about a little ice breaker?

We know every face is unique, and it can take experimentation to find that comfortable fit that also gives a good seal.

We also know different masks are often great in different situations, even for the same face.

But if you had to pick just one mask, which mask are you wearing?

And why do you love it so much???

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Are you a 3M Aura trifold baby, classic yet flexible? We'd definitely understand that.

Maybe you like an expansive life that really makes you sing and prefer a Gerson 3230 duckbill. Plenty of room here for that, too.

Or do you prefer the solidity and less wastefulness of an elastomeric life? Eco conscious AND a tight seal??? Kinda hot tbh.

There's almost as many reasons to love a great mask as there are great mask options to love.

Let us know your go-to (and what makes it so great) in the replies!

Probably the most frequent conversation we have about this project (besides the project itself) is how much we all despise the fact it's necessary in the first place.

Community care is and will always be essential. But regular folks should never have to spend their valuable labor compensating for total public abandonment.

ID: Screenshot of a tweet by Muting/Blocking Self Care (@ QueeringPsych) that reads:

I hate having to put so much of my brain energy towards avoiding & surviving COVID

I really resent the gov abandoning us so my household has to do so much to make for that lack of support

I'd rather COVID survival care packages or stipends from the gov instead of cop cities
