Some of wear them because we are doing chemo. Standard response is: are you asking because you care or you're just nosy? Cancer has the ability to shut them the hell up

If you can't attend, you can still help! Alt right groups like the proud boys and patriot front like to pack their members into Uhaul vans to transport to disrupt protests....beat them to it by reserving as many vans as you can before they do!

I’m not protesting anything when I wear a mask. I just want to keep any replicable particles you, or anyone else, are shedding into the air I’m breathing away from my mucus membranes. I feel making masks political is dangerous, as it invites call to ban them.

I don't fully disagree with you or anything but calls for mask bans are already here and have been for a while now

They sure are. i just don’t feel good politicizing a tool some people need for survival is a good idea. Even if the mask banners have already done so.
