  changed out my 3M respirator pink disc p100's to a pair of black cartridges I think they work great, worth the investment ☑️ HOWEVER, it NEEDS to be said and noted that 3M respirator cartridges are heavier than I thought they'd be. That extra weight caused me some head/neck strain and stretched the fit of the headband in a way than I wasn't used to just something to consider disability/accessibility wise if y'all have have neck and/or head concerns #wearAResp...

  real quick, I'm aware my 3M respirator doesn't have a filter for the exhalation valve I bought it a couple of years back for wildfires, because bits of ash were falling on my car and surroundings from a nearby wildfire. For awhile it was my only p100 option. so I saved up and got a Forged Air respirator (99PFE Filters) and now my 3M is for cleaning and future wildfires 👍️

  I'd like to mention Forged Air respirators more often, but they are more expensive than 3M (although Forged Air is cheaper than the Flo and Omni) and often out of stock not really sure what the average person's budget is for masks or air purifiers. I feel like a jerk for assuming.

  Please check your local library if they have any kind of masks to give out to the public. My local library usually has Honeywell bifold/flat fold head strap N95 masks (with nose foam!) and sometimes they have blue surgical masks. If your local library does not have masks, please try requesting for masks. Talking directly to a librarian would likely be the fastest and most direct way. Although, your library might have an in-person or online way of submitting suggestions. As another option,...

That's TOO SCARY because it&...

  long story short I'm TIRED of progressive words that don't lead to anything because of learned (and REWARDED) helplessness

  I haven't posted anything new to instagram in years what I'm doing over there is sharing and resharing COVID Isn't over posts on my story, over and over, trying to find whatever crumbs of local pro-masking community exist my story used to have like, 10~ views on average and I'm down to 1 or 2 views now, predictably I'm being seen as a Ultra Extremist Bummer and the algorithm tries to push my stuff further and further back. Not surprised, just sad. so I...

  "get offline" bad advice overall, not specific, influences the public to disconnect completely from the outside world and anything that's outside of their bubble. "get off of tiktok/twitter/FB/etc" sounds more supportive overall, implies there's something better to do online, such as reading wiki articles, using the free apps/streaming services from your local library, or (figuratively) sailing the seven seas

  Howdy Y'all! it's #introduction time! I'm Lauren, she/her, over 30, neurodivergent, chronically-ill, furry/anthro :moomin_happy: A visual artist trained in traditional mediums and digital art programs. I enjoy drawing masks or respirators on my fursona and original characters (OCs), as well as drawing masks onto already existing memes, so I'll be uploading those here ✅️ I'm looking for a more COVID realistic community online. Exhausted by being the only one in public we...
