Hollie<p>Folks (like me!) who are still masking the vast majority of the time, if you feel a bit beaten down about it sometimes, this article may help you feel less alone. </p><p>This should be a gift link. </p><p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/04/covid-conscious/682252/?gift=_uLTcluX0XwoRN1P5lB7JmQ8Wub1ge-Qd8BWUEkDeAA&amp;utm_source=copy-link&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=share" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theatlantic.com/health/archive</span><span class="invisible">/2025/04/covid-conscious/682252/?gift=_uLTcluX0XwoRN1P5lB7JmQ8Wub1ge-Qd8BWUEkDeAA&amp;utm_source=copy-link&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=share</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masking</span></a></p>

I need to watch for cues and pattern match to scenarios that I have worked out beforehand. I hold a huge number of these scenarios in my head as I interact with other people. But try as I might, I cannot account for all of them. If I encounter an expected response, I get flustered. I cannot unpack my feelings and the situation on the spot. My arms feel limp and I freeze sometimes. So this adds to a certain anxiety in every interaction. But at least I know what is happening. I am getting better at saying “I need a moment” or “I’ll get back to you” This is the whole mechanism of why and how I mask. It’s honestly exhausting!<a href="https://aus.social/tags/masking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masking</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span></p>

Bc Clarity Carlton-Martin<p>My old bandmate, who has been in assited living for ab9ut 2 years, was pout into hospice Saturday after contracting COVID19 for the first time. His fragile health was not considered worth masking around them. This is the third close friend who has contracted COVID19 and died in a medical setting this last 8 months. i am overwhelmed with grief too much to even consider being active against the Confederated TechBro Takeover of 2025.

Diligent Circle 丸<p>Hot take:</p><p>Masking mostly only exists for the sake of neurotypicals' comfort, and letting them go about life without putting in any work interacting with neurodivergent people, allowing them to in the back of their minds basically pretend we don't exist.</p><p>It's a special accommodation for the majority.</p><p>Neurotypicals get all this accommodation, expect all this accommodation, for our mere existence, and we get none for our actual difficulties and disabilities.

🦇 Domo<p>You can get a pack of 20 expired FFP2 masks for 99 cents (euros). They're safe, but the elastic band adhesive may fail, so keep a pack in your backpack just in case. I've gone through 125 with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://pizza.enby.city/@scremlin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>scremlin</span></a></span> since November last year and have only had the string adhesive fail on 2 of them. Both failed right out of the pack, so I put them in a separate baggy and will just reglue them on another occasion.
