Violet MadderIt's time to start digging in to my mask project! I need good, solid resources to back up a presentation I'll be giving to the local public. What are the most reliable and ethical doctors, journalists, advocates, research, statistics, or sites that you've seen? I'll be talking about air quality, advocating environmental justice through citizen science and mutual aid, and my focus is going to be ventilation and masking.The program is organized by a local group of folks that started putting up air sensors all over town because of toxic chemical leaks from nearby refineries. They got a grant through a university, and they may be able to help me out in getting an air quality sensor so I can test the CO2 in local buildings. I'd also like to be able to pass out some mask samples. I've been trying to find info on other things like sip valves, elastomeric respirator exhaust valve filter adapters, good sites to buy masks and so on. Since these issues got politicized and the CDC and WHO are increasingly corrupt/hamstrung, finding good info is a fuckin MESS. I could really use some help! What's been very interesting to me is, the folks who promote masking are usually ALSO right on other issues. Masks are required at the local anarchist book fairs, for example, which to me says a LOT. The people I follow here on Mastodon who are solidly against genocide, fascism, capitalism, and lesser evilism are the SAME people who are solidly for issues like universal healthcare, right to repair, accessibility, direct action, labor organizing, etc etc-- you have a moral consistency that inspires my respect and hope, and I want to learn more from you!

RDThere are many important reasons to MASK UP tomorrow!- Protect yourself from viruses.- Protect others from viruses and show vulnerable folks you've got their back.- Make a statement against fascist mask bans.- Send a message that the pandemic is NOT over; covid is still a serious threat and now there's measles too.- Privacy.😷 ✊ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HandsOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandsOff</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protest</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#masks</a>

NoodlemazSmall-ish faced people (who, like me, have to staple the bottom of the Boots FFP2 NRs), what's your fave N95/FFP3? *Not* from Amazon, if possible. Also don't really like the round the head straps, they're terrible for getting in and out of places quickly (which I'm doing a lot in London!) and having yknow, hair. Need some more.

🦇 DomoYou can get a pack of 20 expired FFP2 masks for 99 cents (euros). They're safe, but the elastic band adhesive may fail, so keep a pack in your backpack just in case. I've gone through 125 with <a href="https://pizza.enby.city/@scremlin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@scremlin</a> since November last year and have only had the string adhesive fail on 2 of them. Both failed right out of the pack, so I put them in a separate baggy and will just reglue them on another occasion.

DoomsdaysCWThe War on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Masks</a> Has Taken on a New MeaningThis time, the masks have nothing to do with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COVID19</a>.By Henry Grabar Feb 05, 20254:57 PM "Last month, state legislators in New York introduced a bill that would create a new crime: 'masked harassment.'"That, the law explains, is when you wear a mask 'for the primary purpose of menacing or threatening violence against another person' or 'placing another person or group of persons in reasonable fear for their physical safety.'"If that seems like a bit of a niche offense—threatening violence is already a crime, after all—it’s because the language has been watered down to attract political support. It’s a sign of New York Democrats’ cautious new approach over masks in public life, and a retreat from last spring, when anti-Israel protests, on top of a widespread urban crime panic, pushed leaders from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to consider mask bans."In its original form, the New York bill would have banned masks at public assemblies entirely. But the outcry from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DisabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisabilityRights</a> advocates, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalJustice</a> reformers, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthCareWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HealthCareWorkers</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilLiberties</a> groups was swift, and so New York wound up with this bill on 'masked harassment' instead."Elsewhere, the pandemic-era leniency on masking in public is over. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthCarolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthCarolina</a> Republicans overrode a gubernatorial veto last summer to once again <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BanPublicFaceCoverings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BanPublicFaceCoverings</a>, except to stop the spread of contagious diseases. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost dusted off an old law to threaten <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StudentProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StudentProtesters</a> with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/felonies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#felonies</a>. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has asked the state’s Senate to consider a bill to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unmask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unmask</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protesters</a> this year."For Republicans, it’s a chance to kill two birds with one stone. They can strike back against the perceived overreach of pandemic-era <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthDirectives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HealthDirectives</a> and make it easier to arrest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/demonstrators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#demonstrators</a> at the same time."In <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ohio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ohio</a> and North Carolina, the original statutes were written in the 1950s to stop demonstrations by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KuKluxKlan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KuKluxKlan</a>, but had been ignored or suspended during the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandemic</a> and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GeorgeFloydProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeorgeFloydProtests</a>. Many lawmakers have cited the recent demonstrations in defense of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> as a reason to crack down again. Defending the proposed mask ban in New York, Anti-Defamation League [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ADL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ADL</a>] president Jonathan Greenblatt said the demonstrators were using '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KKK</a> tactics' to intimidate Jewish New Yorkers."That instinct was bolstered by the sense among many city residents and elected leaders that widespread masking was a factor behind the pandemic-era crime spike. That led to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Philadelphia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philadelphia</a> banning <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SkiMasks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SkiMasks</a> in parks, on trains, and in public buildings. A more recent, high-profile example came in December with the Midtown Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrianThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrianThompson</a> by a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskedAssassin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaskedAssassin</a>, which prompted New York Mayor Eric Adams to call for cab drivers and business owners to ask customers to remove their masks. The new New York bill has won over the liberal Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who endorsed the 'tailored' approach. As the police say: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoFaceNoCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoFaceNoCase</a>."For what it’s worth, there are too many confounding variables and too little data to be sure if mask-wearing is associated with crime, said Ernesto Lopez at the Council for Criminal Justice, which collects crime reporting statistics from various cities. 'From a theoretical statement it makes sense that could occur, but it has not been demonstrated that’s the case,' he told me."But if all that weighed in favor of more mask bans, there was also widespread resistance. Disability advocates mobilized to defend the right to mask; North Carolina had to write a medical exemption into their bill at the insistence of a GOP House member. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceReformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliceReformers</a> observed that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskBans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaskBans</a> have often been used for pretextual <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#policing</a> and racial profiling against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackAmericans</a>. (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AtlantaGeorgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AtlantaGeorgia</a> tabled a mask ban for that reason.)"What looms largest, as the second Trump administration begins, is the role of protest. As Semafor’s Dave Weigel has noted, masks have become a badge of left-wing protest culture. That’s in part an extension of politicized COVID-era concerns about health and civility, but at this point it is mostly a tactic to preserve anonymity in an era of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FacialRecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FacialRecognition</a>, streaming video, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doxing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doxing</a>. Last year, the anonymous <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProIsrael</a> website the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CanaryMission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanaryMission</a> posted photographs of hundreds of students and faculty at campus protests and posted their names and photos online, labeling some as supporters of terrorism."'The concern takes on new urgency as Donald Trump pledges to revoke the visas of pro-Palestine protesters, and the Trump-Musk GOP embraces the naming and shaming of otherwise private citizens. A conservative group called the American Accountability Foundation has begun circulating lists of federal workers, many of them Black, who should be 'targets' for their alleged involvement in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEI</a> initiatives at work."Clearly, the masked protest does not always sit well with an older generation, many of whom cut their teeth in the protests of the pre-internet age. As Georgetown professor Michael Kazin told the New York Times last year: 'I do think if you are going to demonstrate, and it’s something you feel deeply about, you should be willing to stand up and be counted.'"Source: <a href="https://slate.com/business/2025/02/mask-bans-new-york-los-angeles-crime-protests-criminalize-face-coverings.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://slate.com/business/2025/02/mask-bans-new-york-los-angeles-crime-protests-criminalize-face-coverings.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AuthoritarianRule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuthoritarianRule</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBrother" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBrother</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBrotherIsWatchingYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBrotherIsWatchingYou</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SurveillanceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SurveillanceState</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SilencingDissent</a>
