even just the fiscal trade off between one disposable mask versus the cost and amount of supplies and waste generated from a singular emergency room visit let alone the course of a viral induced chronic illness should make the decision to mitigate apparent and frankly logical.
If you pitched “wearing a mask in crowded places” as a startup, everyone would invest in it
Getting even a mild cold burns hundreds of dollars per day in opportunity cost, while the cost of wearing a mask is almost certainly orders of magnitude smaller…

when faculty complain about students, I want to ask them if they factor in pandemic trauma + COVID itself.
Then I recall that we are all pretending that the pandemic is over, and no one needs to worry about COVID anymore, and that I might explode if I have to talk about this once more and keep quiet

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

wearing a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces (grocery stores, pharmacies, transit, healthcare) is one of the most basic forms of allyship you can offer disabled people you’re forced share space with.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

An interesting thing I've noticed since masking stopped being common: When I see another masked person, even a stranger, we often exchange eye contact and a nod. Like, oh that's nice, there's one other person in this room who definitely isn't judging me and was probably also feeling awkwardly alone.
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
