The Rise of Thirst Masking / Articles / Writing | SOMBERAMARATH

Yesterday, I posted a brief piece on #ThirstMasking in my Musings blog (available here on somberamarath.com under the writing section). This came after several days of tracking a definitive shift in the tone of the discourse in and around the COVID informed community. My first impression was that we were seeing the rise of a new movement, ala #YallMasking, aimed at normalizing masking in a novel way given the behemoth COVID surge that we are currently experiencing and the looming gargantuan surge that is expected just over the horizon. After some light investigation, I arrived at the conclusion that can be read in the post that I uploaded to my Musings blog yesterday titled "Ya'll Thirst Masking?" In short, I concluded in the piece that we are not witnessing a new #YallMasking. Instead, we are witnessing a new #SaltingTheVibes.
