Mask (respirators) Beginner Guide

This guide is for people who want to start wearing masks or want to wear masks more often but are a bit confused about the whole thing.

What is a respirator? What is a duckbill mask? What is an 3M Aura? Where can I buy masks that will protect me? What is a KN95?

Una cosa curiosa de las fotos mias que pusieron protestando….

If the protection from respirstory hazards wasn’t enough reason to wear a mask for you, consider the aspect of facial recognition tech.

Fun fact about respirators:
A bunch of right wing troll farms and politicians on twitter have spent days trying to dox my partner, who has continued to wear respirators for 5 years now.

So, while the trolls managed to dig up a bunch of pics, every single one is from prior to 2020.

further reason to expand your understanding of what respirators can do for you and your community— from climate crisis to a crumbling public health apparatus to encroaching surveillance, medical grade facial protection is a tool that protects beyond any one use.

We need to tread eugenics with the seriousness we treat the most vile forms of bigotry because eugenics is what turns those bigotries into action items.

iso: anyone with saddle nose deformity who masks regularly and / or ENTs who may have some knowledge on the subject — how’s it going? is there a way to be kinder to noses with connective tissue issues in masks?
