When you cancel your Disney, Hulu, ESPN, etc. subscriptions, you will likely find “Other” as one of the options to provide a reason. Upon clicking that, it opens a field where you can expound. I typed “Kimmel”

Our money. Our choice. Our voice.

Sometimes, it's the only thing that soothes the soul

I think that’s generally true here in the St Louis metro, too. The white people who mask are very often observably neurodivergent, disabled, and/or queer, though some normie-looking older folks are mixed in.

I haven’t encountered open hostility while masked for awhile now, mostly bemusement. There are still just enough maskers in our area that it doesn’t feel fully outlandish.

I was thinking about this while at a library book sale this morning, where I was the only person masked. I have the “advantage” of being both large and generally normie-passing, so when I get the occasional odd look, it’s mostly confused.

The world is not a stage, it's a middle school cafeteria.
