feel really fortunate that i got to go to a respirator required kink performance event at a lesbian bar last night (all queers are welcome and it's trans inclusive). and i was also happy that it was a dry night even though my partner was hoping to get a cocktail. tons of fun, and i was blown away by a live rope demonstration that topped off the night. the couple was so tender and trusting with each other 🥺 it was very sweet to watch and impressive. (and they had a catholic fetish spin on it, which thrilled my priestfucker partner lol)
in fact, this bar always requires respirators, which i am so happy to know about. its kinda far from us, but we can easily make it for events like this that they host. im disappointed to know that these kinds of disability focused spaces are so rare and wish there were more casual spaces for people to gather and meet in a lower risk way. it was so beautiful to see so much community care in one building. they even have an elevator to make sure people in wheelchairs or that can't do stairs can get in
if anyone is in the proximity of MA, i highly recommend Last Ditch https://lastditchvenue.com

So how did I handle the longest leg of my trip, the flight from LHR-SFO with #CovidConscious #Travel ?
- excellent, fresh N95 mask (& a spare, unneeded this time but comforting)
- strategic hydration & food consumption outdoors when possible, or with lower CO2 readings when not
- Always Be Charging general habit for supportive devices mini HEPA filter and CO2 monitor
- communication & appreciation with flight attendants
- dress for comfort & be kind to yourself; it's tiring enough unmasked
I am delighted to report that at no point during my 18 day international trip was I harassed, questioned, or even given 'stink-eye' (as my Hawaiian friends would say) for wearing a mask. 😷
Not at SFO or ATL or MAN or LHR or the flights from them.
Not in big cities or towns. Not enjoying fish tacos in outdoor seating in Decatur, Georgia, or Shrewsbury, England.
If you're scared to go out masked, give it a try. Stay cheerful, be kind, and the world may reflect it.
Vaccines are like seatbelts and airbags, masks are like responsible driving.

#CovidConscious and other mask-wearing folks, there is a post-security place to get outside air in LHR Terminal 2. It's by gate A1 and is the no-smoking passage leading to the also-screened-in smoking area.
It's not ideal, being next to a lot of ground crew vehicle activity, but if you're avoiding airborne disease risks in crowds, it is a location where you can take your mask off, drink a bottle of water, and have a snack after you are through security.
