Uncharacteristically forgot my mask before kid's appointment.

"Finally unmasked! I've read all the science! If I get it again, I get it again. You know, I had a fever of 106 the first time?"

Cool story, bro. I've never had it, and I'll be outside.

#Covid #MaskShaming

The Geek Feminism Wiki's conference anti-harassment policy¹ has been an excellent starting point for years, but hasn't been refreshed for the Covid-19 Era. As mandatory precautions subside, those who continue additional voluntary precautions are often subjected to "mask shaming." Does this rise to a level of being called out in a Code of Conduct in 2023? Which events are doing a good job in this stage of the pandemic?

I'm not a "Mask Holdout!" Geez-Louise! I'm a Thoughtful Human being.

The inconvenience of wearing a #KN95 is minimal for not having to deal with #COVID19 symptoms, which while not often deadly anymore, or can be far worse than flu or cold symptoms.

Best part: I haven't had the flu or a cold since 2019. I will always wear a mask in cold season, just like the east Asians have been doing for decades: courtesy and self-protection.

If you have a problem with masks, don't force your issues upon me!
