If I go barefaced, the fascist classist ageist tooth shamers have a field day.</p><p>It was sociologically interesting but psychologically devastating to go from naturally occurring "country club" teeth to pain that was worse than unmedicated childbirth to routinely being insulted, infantalized, and assumed to be one of the People Who Do Not Sleep.</p><p>Fortunately I was warned that the reverse experience, spending more money than it would cost to buy a house, hours in pain in the dentists' chair, etc. to "buy some teeth" is much worse.</p><p>Riding out the pain, avoiding triggers that could cause you to lash out, and learning to use affordable dental scalers to remove plaque and tarter yourself is something to be proud of.</p><p>Tooth shaming is disgusting and in no way morally different than fat shaming or any other form of body shaming/poor shaming.</p><p>I want no part of that and will not be purchasing or wearing fake plastic teeth. </p><p>I love the affordability and creative potential of facemasks. They don't take a lot of time or expensive materials to sew and can express your personality far more than makeup ever could. </p><p>They can actually hold surgical masks on much tighter, as well as more comfortably, if you're out of N95s. Can't hurt, might help, and we need to normalize facial coverings to bring some of these amazing folks from the disability community safely back into our public spaces.</p><p>I'm not going to apologize for boosting mutual aid posts for disabled folks' rent as the first of the month approaches. Fuck landlords, but the coolest people online always turn out to be housebound, differently abled, and using words and imaginations to do what their bodies can't do afk.</p><p>I'm not throwing my disabled friends under the bus.</p><p>Masking at the grocery store is a win-win for "fixing" missing or crooked teeth.</p><p><a href="https://ni.hil.ist/tags/stillmasking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stillmasking</span></a></p>

Logan 5 and 999 others<p>Question for the extroverts who are still masking:<br>What things are you doing to form bonds with people and connect while being safe? What is working for you? </p><p>I run games online and have met with friends at concerts where my wife and I are masked. It’s still hard. I’ve also tried outside group activities like run clubs, but then they want to go get pizza together and I don’t want to be eating inside. I’d love to meet people with similar attitudes about Covid. I tried CovidMeetup.com but I wasn’t making a lot of connections. I’d love to hear what you all do.</p><p>Please boost if you can. </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/mask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mask</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/stillmasking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stillmasking</span></a><br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/extroverts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extroverts</span></a></p>

Jessie (they/she) 🍓 🏳️‍⚧️ 🍉<p>I got a pack of 3M Auora FFP3 masks the other day for super cheap and OH MY GOD!!!! I never knew what it was like to have a good seal on a respirator mask until these...

Michelle Hughes<p>I went to the dental hygienist the other day. She described a time when a patient came in with respiratory symptoms and she saw him anyway and got covid.</p><p>As I do each time I go in, I encouraged her to use an n95 mask instead of an ineffective surgical mask. She said she can't do it because she can't breathe in them and they give her a headache.</p><p>Scientists should really study her unique biology. I wonder what mutations she has that set her apart from the rest of the human race.</p><p> <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/StillMasking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StillMasking</span></a></p>
