For those that pay attention, the mask is a litmus test for the morality - and social consequence - of human experience.
No one else distances themselves from me on the street.
Rarely anyone is wearing a mask outside.
I feel insane constantly.
The mask is cheap, easily adaptable, simple to buy and obtain, and has undoubtable history related to subaltern experience and communities.
Which also means it’s extremely simple to take advantage of.
Even the smallest shifts experience the largest backlash.
The failure of leadership, on national and regional levels, represents the failure to protect humanity, and how caring about others whole experience (read:health) will harm everyone.
It makes me think daily: what can I do to remain alive, and be a point of leverage to make sure others are the same?
Cause I feel like I’m the only one - around here - hungry for answers.
