This is hugely important. I have two barriers to masking: autism and childhood trauma that gives me panic feelings when my mouth is covered.
I also have a compromised immune system and so does my spouse.
I hate that the assholes think I'm one of them and the maskers think I'm an asshole.

I think masking is a serious issue for those who are capable of it and that we absolutely should address the ways in which autistic people can unmask and other people can support them. I also believe the majority of content I see around masking these days is dressed up white lady lifestyle shit.

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
