It’s crazy how quickly people were convinced that a deadly virus that killed millions is now just a “mild cold”

For the first time ever today we got a mildly aggressive dude on the train saying "Take the mask off the kid, they can't breathe!"
To which I responded, "Not your problem, dude."
"Yes it's my problem, I'm in the military" and he pointed to his camouflaged hat (whut?)
"Still not your problem."
And he walked away mumbling.
The three of us (partner, kiddo, and me) ALWAYS mask on the train. And pretty much anywhere we go. Other people today told the Little One "I like your mask", which is a more common event. 😷
Never before in NZ had anyone bothered to confront us, and this guy went away quickly.
Only remarkable for being the first in nearly 6 years to have a problem with our masking.
Hi all, one of our members made this radical guide for Covid safer events! If your organization has not acknowledged the harmful impact of infectious diseases prior to now, it's "okay to acknowledge this past while stepping into a new responsibility of doing what is needed rather than what is popular."

The guide is here to help people make their community events and spaces more accessible to all people. Give it a read. :)

In 2020 somebody scrawled "PCR-Test = Idiotentest" onto this wall. They had added other anti-measure sentiments on the footpath but in chalk, so those are no longer there.
Because this uninformed and incurious attitude has become more prevalent, I #MaskUp

"The best economic response is a health driven response", was something we once knew and could have learned for good, but here we are instead.
Mystified about rampant disease after letting a immune system damaging virus on the loose and refusing to even name it anymore.
"The Economy" is just people. It's that simple. Keep the people healthy, you'll have a healthier economy.

“This virus causes system-wide injury that accumulates with each infection: brain damage that undermines decision-making, immune dysregulation leading to infections like Kaposi sarcoma and tuberculosis in lymph nodes — the very signatures of HIV-AIDS now rising again — and cardiac injury with accelerated aging.” #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp

NOTICE & CALL TO ACTION ‼️😷 - to the attendees (and disappointed non-attendees) of the Boston Anarchist Bookfair: ( #BABF)
CRANE Mask Bloc organizers and community members have shared their plan to achieve universal masking at the event. (Please see images with alt text)

I'm looking forward to some really exciting mask pics over the next few days. But it's my aim to post the most boring mask selfie of the pandemic. Have I managed it yet? #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #MaskUp #YallMasking #SaltingTheVibes

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