@PhoenixSerenity It *is* lonely. Thank you for doing what you do.

I told those kids - It's really cool to wear sparkly masks & it's even cooler to wear them because of caring about others around you. I'm gonna drop those verbal notes into ears of folks, young or old - when opportunities present themselves 😷✌️❤️

Most #kids would wear almost anything, if they thought it was fun/cool. It's the parents who are failing to help their kids to lead by shining examples in schools. I betcha most kids would be keen to start a cool #masks movement, if their parents were more supportive of their initiatives or led by living example themselves. I know this from working with school kids for 15 years, prior to #covid & my interactions with kids, since covid came to Canada.

@staringatclouds People committed to wearing masks & unapologetic about it are the ones folks remember, when they get super sick from preventable airborne contagious illnesses. Don't be afraid to be the solo masked person. Remember, every single progressive changes in society - started with some folks doing the right thing, for all of humanity, when the social majorities weren't on board. Every person who has sparked societal changes for the better - all felt alone & outnumbered at one or more than one point in their lives. It's OK to be alone or outnumbered, when you're trying to change things for betterment of all. It's not OK to sway from what you know is the right thing to do, for not just yourself & people you know, but for your community, at large - even if, and despite initial community resistance.

@Vanalope Most people assume I wear a mask because I'm visibly physically disabled. I tell them - I wear one because of that & because I care about the health of other folks in my community - even if they don't care about me or my health. I am blunt as fuck.
