I just can't help it
No matter what you say
It sounds you're far from okay
I know you're hurting
So please just stop the lie
Just say, say you'll try

Try to stop hiding, and show me how you are
I see through all the faces you put on
I know you're wondering, just how you got to this
All you've lost, all you missed

But it will be fine, and you'll be smiling
And you'll be grateful, for what's still there
And you'll be hoping that you still have it here
The things you thought you lost
The things you thought were gone

Three events make me notice ways a society's establishment deflects criticism: Veterans Day, masking attitudes, and mass shootings.

My favorite parts of interacting with others is the constant masking and then the lingering fear of being berated for saying something incorrectly or having the wrong opinion about something meaningless.

As an asthmatic, all the smoke from the Canadian wildfires has me #masking outdoors. I’m likely to continue wearing a #mask until the first hard freeze because my allergies kick in during the autumn and I was doing it even before Covid. I’m also not adverse to it being a political (or a fashion) statement although TBH the only statement I’m trying to make is that I like being able to #breathe and not rely on copious amounts of pharmaceuticals/medications to do so. #asthma

Putting the health and civil rights of people like me at risk for political games is wrong. Here’s an excellent article about the impact of mask bans: https://womensenews.org/2025/08/how-mask-banning-harms-high-risk-populations/

Canada is on the brink of setting a historic national standard for airborne protections — but it’s under threat.

Join us for a crucial Town Hall featuring Dr. Dick Zoutman to discuss this matter. Your voice and presence matter.

hey fedi has anyone used a [breathe]2 mask, and if so how do you like them
i'm mostly interested in their fit

they seem to be a reasonable price and have really good filtration but because they exclusively ship to canada finding reviews is hard

Glad to see #masking at #Fedicon2025. About 5-10% of attendees are masked (less than 100%, but way more than 0%). Masks and hand sanitizer available. Thank you @reiver for announcing about masks. #Fedicon #CovidIsNotOver #YallStillMasking #YVR

Canada’s new respirator standard (CSA Z94.4-25) is a major step forward in protecting healthcare workers — but it’s facing opposition.

WHN strongly supports this science-based policy and urges others to submit a public comment before the August 19 deadline.

We're in a heatwave but ever since my recent bout of #COVID19 I'm back to being more vigilant about #masking indoors. I DGAF about others who feel they're over it. PEOPLE ARE F'N NASTY.
Nowhere was this more evident than the women's washroom in the Marshall's at the Stockyards. The stalls were disgusting. I don't know how ppl were/are being raised, but damn, wild animals are more hygienic than some of y'all. In the women's washroom too. If some of you b**ches causing that mess are also raising kids, please tie your tubes already.
If you can't practice basic #hygiene in a public washroom, that just reaffirms to me to keep masking, whatever season.

“Do you remember when Spain was having its largest known surge in transmission of the entire pandemic?

I do. Because it's today.”

Masking your whole life isn’t strength - it’s survival. You deserve spaces where you don’t have to.

I’m still #masking (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Went to a medical appt. in a hospital today and wore a mask as much as I could and it was nbd.

My cat loves masks, too. He loves how they smell and taste. They’ll dig them out of my bag or an open drawer to double huff them and eat the ear loops.

Wore my mask to a recent medical screening. When they rolled me back to the procedure room they looked for and found a plastic bag for me to keep my KN95 mask in until they were done and I could put it back on. “We don’t have masks this good” they said.

I once lost my state disability benefits because I made too much eye contact. Fun times. Honestly, you can’t win. Either you’re too much, or not enough.

Me: how about both
