This account is anti-ableist, a defender of trans rights, anti-racist, anti-fascist, plant based, gluten free, and full of goddamn flavour. COVID conscious coupling with @SallyFieldlight (Like Bonnie and Clyde who stay inside). #MaskUp. AKA - Don't be an ableist piece of shit. #ADHD #fedi22 - Pixelfed: @N01100010 Loops: https://loops.video/@N01100010 - Avatar Alt Text: In the top right of the frame is a head and shoulders selfie of me, a white male. I'm wearing clear framed safety glasses, a white duck bill style N95 mask, a Keffiyeh around my neck, and a dark blue hoodie. The rest of the frame is the MERV13 filter intake side of a first generation Nukit Tempest air cleaner. #NoBot #NoBridge #NoIndex #NoAI

The most common reactions to my #N95 masking in 2026. (In no particular order.)
Total indifference. As if I'm not even wearing one.
Slight twitch of the face upon first seeing it but otherwise ignores it.
Longish stare with confused look (often followed by and eye roll or dismissive head shake).
Seemingly genuine curiosity; asking why I'm wearing a mask when I don't have to. (Genuineness of the question is quickly determined by the reaction to the answer.)
Can't fathom why I'm doing it but admirers the commitment.
Keeping a "safe distance" away because of the assumption that I'm sick, but otherwise not saying anything.
"Are you sick?", asked from two metres away.
Asking "are you ok" and meant in the sense of questioning my mental health, usually said with a fake look of concern. When I confirm that yes, I am in fact doing great, a follow up quizzical look, eye roll, or some other indication that that can't possibility be true.
Unspoken but clear annoyance.
Outright verbal hostility.
