Music fan. UK science teacher in an FFP3 mask.

The right mask makes it easy to sing, perform, teach, or speak in public.

The silence is deafening on COVID.

The plan is to keep people in the dark.

If you still wear a mask. If you still protect yourself and others. If you test. If you stay home when you are sick. If you still acknowledge that #CovidIsNotOver - you are a candle.

It's #12thNight and the Christmas decorations come down, so I better post this now.

“It's just a cold… right?”

There are LOTS of reasons people stopped protecting themselves from COVID.

But once someone has stopped, they need to believe something about COVID. And “it's mild now, just a cold” works really well. Unfortunately it's not true.

Vaccination is normal.

I got this for Christmas. I'm going to open it tonight to celebrate the UK introducing free chickenpox vaccines for children on the NHS.

The best time to get vaccinated / make whisky was years ago. The right time is now.

Here's my very close encounter with a cicada during the 2021 emergence in Northern Virginia. Those are my pants it landed on.

Happy New Year! 2026 will be another year of believing in things I can't see, that are real.

I live in the UK, so I don’t see three things that are common elsewhere in the world.

Cardinals! Cicadas! 3M Aura masks!

Please send pics of all 3!

Spouse and I respirator mask everywhere indoors outside of our home. We masked before entering our home because while away, renos took place. Infectious diseases are airborne and sit in the air like cigarette smoke.

#oneofthetwo My wife and I will mask for the foreseeable future/forever. I have a chronic digestive illness that was brought on by and made much worse by COVID. Masking is community care and common sense.

My kid can’t take allergy meds and has found masks greatly improve their seasonal allergies

I have also found masks useful when emptying my central vac canister, when power raking the lawn, fall leaf collecting and other gardening activities

I will never fly a plane without a mask

#OneOfTheTwo #SaltingTheVibes @theweeklyshow.bsky.social lots of reasons people wear a respirator mask. It's a great way to make sure hospital beds are available for urgent care and that there is less urgent care. If I wear this I get to enjoy my whole year, including my salty holiday.

#OneOfTheTwo Jon Stewart mocked for masking. Because Covid destroyed my body & my life. There are ~half a billion people with #LongCovid around the world. Why would anyone assume they’re too special to become one of us?

I hadn't heard of your silly little podcast @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social until now, but yes, I too am #OneOfTheTwo who have absolutely no desire to get an airborne respiratory illness and I am #StillMasking for my own health.

#oneofthetwo Because your desire to “return to normal” doesn’t supersede the safety of others - maybe if you listened to people living with #longcovid, you’d know that. Shame on @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social for punching down in the hackiest possible way.

Kiss my ass you punching down assholes. My loved ones will not protect themselves and you are part of the reason why.

#OneOfTheTwo *and* #TwoOfTheTwo that Jon Stewart was mocking. We mask in public because COVID is real and my partner cannot afford any risk to her health and because I protect my comrades (wildfire smoke is also increasingly a real part of everyday life). #SaltingTheVibes

#oneofthetwo maskers being mocked by Jon Stewart. Dunno, Jon. I think mocking people who care about their health and the health of others is pretty poor form, actually. And it shows you do not understand what you're talking about.

Yeah @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social I’m #OneOfTheTwo. I’ve had long covid since 2020 & my docs agree on one thing: I must not get covid ever again. My husband masks not just to protect me but for his own health too. He’s seen how sick I’ve been and is compassionate and caring rather than mocking.

Enough with the mask bullying. I mask because I understand aerosol transmission, because our governments all declared the pandemic over before cleaning indoor air, because I’m not OK with multiple reinfections of a new virus, because vulnerable people deserve access to society.

Please stop giving microphones to privileged, self-complacent, white (old) men with ableist attitudes. Thank you!

Happy new year. ✨
