#VerleserDesTages:
„Jugendliche, MINT & Masking"¹

Ich war überrascht.
Interessiert.
Neugierig.

Ist #Masking bei Jugendlichen in Bezug auf #MINT tatsächlich ein Thema?

Hatte ich bislang nicht auf dem Schirm. Aber wenn es darum geht, „Jugendliche u insbes Mädchen u benachteiligte Gruppen für Making in Fab Labs u Makerspaces zu gewinnen“, durchaus plausibel… 🤔

Ich bin jetzt fast enttäuscht, dass da #Making stand…

There are some of us, who make a huge effort just to appear ’normal’ and to fit in the world, so others would feel comfortable.

And the normals reward this effort by criticising and attacking us when our mask briefly slips.

The old meeting industry normal is long over, and many event professionals are still hoping and waiting for a new normal…

I spent most of the day in a hospital ER and wore a mask the whole time except for the ct scan. It was just a cheapie mask they give away for free but I still masked up.

I’m glad masks in medical settings are getting normalized. There’s a bunch of sick people in there!

This is me i.e. I only mask some of the time (basically most activities except social ones).

Last retoot… it’s not meant like that, but still advice reads too easily like condescending dismissal of everything I’ve done (indeed “tried”).

Seven years of chronic fatigue at home almost alone, under stimulation is right. It’s why the daily writing hashtag prompts and fandom love are what move me - dopamine, not wellness tips.

Burnout of the nervous system too, which is slowly showing glimmers of interest in things I used to love and is otherwise perhaps more defrosted than I thought (see “dorsal shutdown” and “functional freeze”, and miss me even more with pushy advice. I’ve done tons for it and still very little audio stuff has worked. Somatic exercise too).

If it doesn’t come from me, why would it move me to act.

I might be less annoyed if all this and autistic masking didn’t get in the way of friendship, romance, hobbies, work, people even realising I have a brain.

My mom hated her. She hated that I liked her. She hated parent teacher conferences. She hated hearing that the book I wrote in class was about Dad's suicide. I think my mom thought my teacher was gay. #children #masking #pain #sociology #psychology #writer #suicide #school #family

Three events make me notice ways a society's establishment deflects criticism: Veterans Day, masking attitudes, and mass shootings.
