So tired of having to feel other people's rage over my wearing a mask. I was at a new grocery store today and the could feel the cashier glaring at me before I even looked up. By the time I had moved down the queue she barks at me in an angry voice, "ARE YOU SICK?"

I have a number of different responses given my spoons, but today I had no spoons left to say "Just trying not to die" or to talk about cancer and heart disease risks or community care, because I could sense a barrage of FuckTrudeauconvoy "i'mjustaskingquestions!" under her bristling exterior so I went with my mild mannered fuck you of "I have an autoimmune disorder"(and you will look like an ass for prying.) She didn't respond and seemed frustrated that she couldn't pick a fight with me and then tried to insinuate that there was something wrong with my card when the machine went down. It took six tries before she could figure it out. My card was fine.

The shit people do with their fear is beyond me sometimes. I'm so fucking tired and probably not going back to that store anytime soon.

Covid still exists. Get over it. I don't want to cosplay normal with you.

@RobotDiver 🫂 Sadly I have similar experiences. You catch a glance from the cashier and think 'I picked the wrong till here'. If people can't be kind, I just wish they'd mind their own business. I feel quite alone in my attempts to avoid getting viral infections though. Family aren't very supportive, even though I'm immune-compromised. I have a friend who is more understanding and has been surprised at other people's inability to just let me be.
