Can confirm, previously undiagnosed EDS x non-EDS-protocol-aware Top Surgery mashup was not fun.

Knowing ahead of time could save a lot of grief. Best of luck!

The keywords “face mask nose bridge foam strips” on any major online retailer should work. :)

We really need state/fed non-profit funding for air quality monitoring to be done for queer night life venues. I wish we could ask local AIDS orgs for tips on how to organize…

So glad you’ve been spared thusfar (and I am hoping you maintain that luck!). FYI you can buy adhesive-backed nosebridge padding strips “aftermarket” to add separately. :)

A pipe dream of mine is a non-profit that could do HEPAs/air quality monitoring for local venues :)

Part of the problem is that not enough pup hoods are designed to accommodate the wear of respirators under them. I’ve designed a few that allow it but have been too incapacitated to manufacture any lately. 🤷‍♂️

It is tough. I have post-acute viral sequelae & have to wear KN95’s or elastomeric P100’s in all shared public air spaces to not die.

I wish venues would install HEPA air purifiers, run them, & swap new filters in when needed. I can’t even think about indoor events w/o those.

Many clinical biotech companies already use similar tech to print custom models of real patient anatomical structures to test & develop prototypes of clinical tools & supplies for lifesaving medical equipment, durable medical devices, or bespoke prosthetics.

This is groundbreaking.

There is a reason it's also called "Punny Play"!
