#MaskUp
24 posts15 participants0 posts today
I lost respect towards another youtuber today who went unmasked to a gym. I was happy for them for taking steps to trying to be healthier, but why did they need to do it while playing russian roulette with covid?
I hope they wont catch anything, but at the same time...if you are someone who is in the public sphere, you should lead by example and not forget the ongoing pandemic.
Masks are also good against facists, pollen, stinky people, and not needing to smile to strangers.
I feel like if your PRIDE parade is not disability friendly, it kind of....sucks. A lot. How can we say we are "inclusive" when disabled members of LGBTQAI+ can't attend?
No mention for people to use mask at least when sick (the bare minimum), walks are not picked for accessability for wheelchair and other aid users, and I have not seen any indoor meetings to be in anywhere bur bars among unmasked people.
Once more, I can't attend.
Shame.

Seeking advice from other people who know & act like #CovidIsNotOver, still #MaskUp , understand the value of mass masking, & advocate for masks-required events:
There are 2 types of responses I get a LOT from ppl saying they can't mask/ shouldn't be required to mask.
1. It makes it harder for people to hear & impossible for people to lip-read what a mask-wearer is saying.
2. Masks are uncomfortable to wear & cause the wearer sensory stress (various exact phrasings - this is the jist).

Bref, si on veut garder le droit, la liberté, pour toustes, de porter un masque dans n'importe quelle situation et pour n'importe quelle raison : masquons-nous !
Le plus souvent possible !
Partout, tout le temps !
Si on le peut, dès qu'on le peut.
Pour nous, et pour toustes celleux qui ne peuvent pas.
Ou qui sont stigmatisæs, réprimæs, lorsqu'iels le font.
Ou qui, bientôt, ne pourront plus.
Se masquer est un acte de solidarité.
Se masquer est un acte antifasciste.
#MaskUp !

Plus on normalisera le port du masque au quotidien, et plus il sera difficile pour la police de réprimer son usage en manif (et ailleurs).
En France, la police utilise déjà le port du masque comme prétexte pour justifier des répressions racistes, y compris en dehors des espaces de luttes.

Last Boost : les camarades du Mask Bloc Nantes se sont fait taxer une boite de masques par la patrouille sous un prétexte sécuritariste. https://piaille.fr/@MaskBlocNantes/114432073615417376
S'il fallait une raison supplémentaire de porter un FFP2 au quotidien : lutter contre sa criminalisation, notamment en contexte de lutte. #MaskUp
PiailleMask Bloc Nantes (@MaskBlocNantes@piaille.fr)Aujourd'hui à Nantes à la manifestation #1erMai, les FDO ont confisqué une boîte de masques du @MaskBlocNantes destinée à la distribution sous prétexte de "trouble à l'ordre public".
En cette période de remontée des contaminations #COVID notamment à #Nantes c'est criminel !
Un suivi qui date d'il y a 15j, mais où on voit clairement la remontée :

@augieray Now that’s something to brag about! Wish that were everywhere. Zero masks at a periodontal surgery center (other than temporary surgical mask donned for procedure) in Eastern WA. Air purifiers were there but OFF. It’s playing Russian roulette over here getting dental work.

Die Chance als Maskenträger*in einen neuen Job zu finden, dürfte sich gegen Null bewegen. Mit den verschärften Maßnahmen gegenüber Arbeitslosen hier in Deutschland, die die neue Regierung durchsetzen will, wird das Maskentragen, das eine Einstellung verhindert, dann wahrscheinlich als Verweigerung, eine Stelle anzunehmen, gewertet und das Arbeitslosengeld bzw. die Grundsicherung (Bürgergeld) gestrichen. Goldene Zeiten.

This would be me if I needed a bra!
These community gatherings are such a joy, especially now that it's warming up and the flowers are in bloom 
Our next social is May 11th. Masks required - we keep us safe (we'll have lots if you need some). See you soon!
To all my friends attending RSA, please mask up. COVID is not gone, and the “con flu” can lead to permanent disability.

I started to write "I realize this only affects a handful of you..." Then I stopped myself because it really affects *EVERYONE*!
I realize only a handful of you actually #MaskUP and care about this...
But this is pretty unsettling.

Vorhin kam mir in den Sinn, wieviele Urlaube ich mit fiesen Erkältungen gekämpft habe.
Einmal musste ich wegen entzündeten Stirnhöhlen sogar vom Urlaub zurücktreten.
Gott, wenn ich jemals die verpassten Infekte der vergangenen fünf Jahre nachholen müsste, müsste ich bald ein halbes Jahr zu Hause krank sein.
Und da war nicht mal etwas gefährliches wie eine Grippe, Lungenentzündung oder Covid dabei.
