This is how I feel too, and also a wonderfully succinct explanation of why I always mask, ESPECIALLY on stage.

I appreciate this response from Ed Yong on why he requests that people mask at his events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...
You’ve been clear in saying that Covid has not gone away. You ask people to wear masks at your events. But that attitude is not necessarily where the rest of the world is. How do you think about continuing to take precautions and advising others to do so when it feels as if society has moved on? I do it for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, I have learned that I enjoy not being sick. I know that the cost of long Covid is real and substantial, and I don’t want to run that risk lightly. I also know that I have many friends and people I’m close to who are immunocompromised. So for the sake of the people around me, I also don’t want to get sick. When I do events, I wear a mask for those reasons, and because I know that every time I do a talk, while the vast majority of people in the audience have probably moved on, there are going to be other people who haven’t. I think it makes a huge difference to them to have the person at the front of the stage wear a mask. It tells them, It’s not weird. So I do it for that reason, too. In terms of holding this line at a point when a large swath of society has moved on, I have written a lot about the panic-neglect cycle.

so excited to announce that my second novel, ALL US SAINTS, is out next year from Bloomsbury ✨ it's about family, art, and the way a closeted trans girl's act of desperation is permanently warped in the cis imagination

Donations to help my fam have slowed down a lot. I know that's just how it goes, but am hoping that sending this around again will allow it to reach more people who haven't seen it yet. So much gratitude for all the sharing and donating so far. I'm bolstered by your generosity. gofund.me/098a8120
