Both is absolutely important. Joy without action is harmful individualism. Activism without joy is unsustainable and hands victories to the oppressive regimes.

It’s like the queer adage of dancing at night so we can fight in the morning.

It looks lovely!! I couldn't even tell that the sizing is gone. Any tips on how you restored it? I have some paper that is semi-expired (and getting worse) and would love to know how you made it look so good!

If you want to return to masking, it’s not too late! It matters! Even if you only start masking sometimes (transit, crowded spaces) it still helps.

Decorate your mask! Make it part of an outfit! Have fun with it! And thank yourself for protecting queer and disabled comrades 💜

Sometimes (usually when I’m sick again) I get really sad thinking about how few people still protect each other and mask, within what’s accessible to them.

Is a little occasional discomfort not worth protecting fellow queer people from another immunodeficiency crisis? Protecting yourself?

Yes this!! It gives your work such a cohesive look, but also each new piece is dynamic and exciting too!
