I'm always weirded out by unmasked people who go out of their way to compliment me on wearing my mask. Like - why are they complimenting me & telling me it's great to wear a mask to protect community....while the people saying these things to my masked face seem to have forgotten they are not wearing a mask?
Maybe repeated #covid infections have hampered their neurological processing.
It's bizarre to experience, multiple times, in different places, around the community.
4 years ago. When I had white & blue hair. Wearing N95 mask under sequin fabric mask.
My vivid hair colours were done by a friend, Kate, who works at The Old Hat Hair Shoppe, in downtown #VictoriaBC :

I'm pretty sure some of my local, offline disabled friends now have brain damage from making piss poor personal decisions to expose themselves to unsafe covid crowded environments & getting covid multiple times over past 5 years. I can't be around them because they're so reckless with their already immunocompromised lives.
They seem amazed that I haven't got covid even once & haven't suffered any cold/flu for over 5 years too. It's not rocket science. I haven't been infected because I don't make reckless personal decisions. I'm already disabled, with 3 incurable progressive illnesses & don't need to get sicker/weaker. I am vicious about protecting my health & equally viscious on protecting my loved ones' health.
My doctor called in a prescription for #Paxlovid, which I'll start taking as soon as I spouse gets home from the pharmacy. The person I caught #COVID from on Thursday morning started taking Pax that afternoon and was already feeling significantly better by yesterday. So I'm hopeful.
So far, 11yo (exposed when I was) and spouse are fine.

Waking up in the middle of the night with what seem to be #covid symptoms is my ***favorite***.
Fucking damn it to hell. Fuck.

People really really really don't like being reminded that they're failing every day to acknowledge or respond to the ongoing pandemic.
Oh well, fuck them. #MaskUpSaveLives
Mom was discharged, after she was stabilized, post day surgery/liver biopsy. She's going to rest in bed for rest of day when we get home. No strenuous physical activity for one week.
I had to ask almost all hospital medical staff, working with us today, to please put their masks on before coming near us. My handmarked mask helped with having no pushback on my mandatory mask-up request. Everyone I asked, stared at it, before grabbing masks & putting them on.
