"So you want to wear a mask"
an outstanding zine about masks; made for New Zealand, but useful anywhere. 😷

Crazy to think that 5 years in, some people still think “asymptomatic = not contagious.”
It’s been known since early 2020 that people without symptoms can spread COVID very efficiently.🦠😷

Excellent piece on who's being unreasonable about Covid mitigations and on who carries the burden in the end.
“Instead of complaining that disabled people are asking me to participate in normalizing COVID mitigations, why don’t I acknowledge the absurdity and severity and difficulty of this situation? Why don’t I participate in changing the culture before it’s my turn to suffer as others ignore me?”
Must read.

The Wellington #maskbloc at the Newtown library is up and running! 😷😍
Many thanks to all the people who have donated money and masks to make this possible. You're amazing!
We have already achieved our current $500 goal but if you want to further support this project, we will aim to provide free RATs in the future.

Aotearoa Covid Action is in the process of setting up a #maskbloc in Wellington.
This mask bloc can't run without the generosity of donors. Every dollar counts so we can provide masks for people who otherwise cannot afford them. If masks are free, more people are likely to grab one and wear it when sick.
Please boost for reach!

The mask on top was worn, mostly outside here in Tirana for about a week. The mask below it has been used for less than a day.
All that grey? That could have been inside my lungs.
You should wear a mask for COVID safety, given how many countries have punted on public health measures, ensuring COVID is still circulating. But it's also effective at reducing smoke and smog. #COVID #MaskUp

Loving the frustrated journalist here, so upset and struggling with Rawiri Waititi's decision to answer questions in Māori language during Māori Language week.
Tough mahi, gotta work harder on your reo next year.
Unrelated, but I do love seeing Marc Daalder in the background. He's the one journalist in the press gallery consistently masking since 2020.
Whatever his reasons, love to see a fellow masker. And also one of the best journalists in the country right now.

I always love seeing people who still mask on my timeline, because it reminds me there's still people out there resisting*! I'm grateful to everyone still wearing a mask, so keep up the awesome work!!

*resisting the misinformation that the pandemic ended, and also resisting the 'getting sick and trying to pretend it doesn't matter' so many people do now. Not to mention, resisting all the other gross things people are spreading around out there!

Maybe controversial opinion, but wearing a mask is less uncomfortable than being sick.
