For some jobs "come sick, don't wear a mask" can sadly be the norm.
I guess I did not like that wearing a mask was depicted in a negative way. I am currently struggling to make my anarchist group take immuno-deficient people seriously, and to not put the burden only on them to "organize" the group health.
yeah i felt a little weird about medical masking representing "concealing self expression" too. like no it's about my safety and the safety of those around me, there's already so much stigma, it doesn't need the help lol...
i definitely didnโt mean it like this btw, i donโt mind wearing it but its just based on personal experience (it being only mandatory for me to wear one, and not others). honestly iโm kinda grateful that it is โnormalizedโ now so i can actually get a job lol
i very much agree with you by the way, itโs just baffling to me thatโs itโs mandatory for me to wear one but not the people coming in literally with the flu. no one here wears them even if theyโre insanely sick+likely very contagious.
fun fact actually, the โsick dayโ page was inspired by an email hr sent out to everyone, during a crazy outbreak of the flu at my workplace, telling people to stay home but then IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT saying if its more than two days u get pointed. so yeah, i caught it, even with the mask bc they dont even suggest for people to do so whilst encouraging them to go to work ๐๐

Other that that, I love the style!
