@aquasscum@zeroes.ca I've thought about telling them that I'm old and hope to get older.

Qp @aquasscum le mythe du heros et le refus de la faiblesse nous ont été inculqués terriblement. Pourtant, sans faiblesse, pas de force et d'heroisme.

@aquasscum Maybe talking unmasked to an immunodeficient masked person makes people feel guilty and their questioning the diagnosis is a way of trying to dismiss their own guilt? Easier praising someone for their sense of responsibility than blaming ourselves for our lack of. (Sad too, obviously)

@aquasscum Fun is going "Oh, you hadn't heard of that new airborne hemorrhagic fever outbreak in ?". And when they scoff at you being worried about not catching it, you go "Oh no, I mask to avoid passing it on to you.".

@aquasscum I've never actually bothered to have a conversation with random people that might want to interrogate me about my mask. Their opinion is of no interest to me. Other than when my sister brought COVID home from London I haven't had a respiratory infection of any kind in five years. I'm trying to keep it that way!

@aquasscum I work in a #Library I mask *not only* bc I'm over 65, but because our patrons are often members of vulnerable demographics: #homeless #disabled #BIPOC i.e., folks whose #Healthcare isn't trustworthy & never was I don't want to be where they catch #COVID from, or whatever else may be #airborne I don't want to catch something they haven't been able to avoid It's #Solidarity, not pity. I wish more of my co-workers got that
