To be clear, the masks are necessary for everyone, not just the essential workers who are the ones going to work, but it feels like now, “cute” masks are everywhere—readily available for non-essential workers who are all staying home to wear on their weekly grocery shopping trips, while the many so-called essential…

I don’t know how much deep thinking or unpacking is required here: it’s a thing you must wear—people are going to personalize and/or flex to the extent possible.
I feel like this article is a reach.
Can we just try to live? If we’re going to be stuck in this hellscape world that has been exacerbated by this pandemic, please let us get a little bit of joy out of choosing a piece of cloth that we are using to protect each other from suffering an excruciatingly painful respiratory disease. Ordering masks off IG from…
I almost went off on someone I went to a work training with ages ago because they were all ‘they made me wear a mask when I went to the grocery store, I only wore one because they gave me one. They would have been shit out of luck otherwise’.
This looks amazing.
I’m with you. Whatever it takes—if people need them to look cool to agree to wear them, then by all means, make them look cool! At least they have a mask on, so they’re a zillion times better than the idiots that refuse to wear one.
If having a cool pattern or baby yoda or what the fuck ever means that people will actually wear them, I’m all for it.
Yah this article is bullshit lol.
I think some of the author’s point are valid but I agree with you. I bought a “fashionable”, CDC-recommended washable face mask for $20 to support a local mask maker, who is mostly getting their income at this time strictly from selling masks on Etsy and IG. It’s to keep myself and others safe because the alternative…
For the privileged, a face mask is an expression of individual identity, essentially rendering its primary function meaningless.
Great point. This article also fails to mention fashionable masks is not a new thing either. In China, there are designer face mask fashion shows. In Vietnam, where pollution can be horrible in places like Hanoi, even the poorest use their face masks as a way to express themselves. And in Thailand, fashion mega…
Also, isn’t the idea that the average person uses a homemade or basic cloth mask, thus leaving the PPE to people on the front lines of healthcare?
Counterpoint: Having masks become fashionable would be a great way to lead people to be safe and protect others while outside using a carrot rather than a stick.
Come on bloggers!! Where’s the half-dozen articles on the 3 dozen trump sexual assault cases??
Just because he does reprehensible things every day is no reason for you to forget that he did those very reprehensible things, and has a history/pattern of same (unlike Biden).
You have enabled & continue to enable trump &…
Right....I mean because Journalists are totally always asking about the more than two dozen women to accuse Trump of sexual assault at every news conference...
“You should have given us a more inspiring raft” is the line that sums up this thinking perfectly...
Yeah, I am willing to hear more from Tara Reade, but unfortunately when you make an accusation against someone (whether it’s sexual assault or theft or fraud) the onus is on you to provide evidence that it happened. She is saying there should be a paper trail of her complaint, and it sounds to me like Joe Biden is…
Why is Jezebel doing it’s level best to torpedo the campaign of the best chance to unseat the Orange Menace in November? Need I remind you of the many women who have credibly accused Chump of rape? And of The Dolt’s ties to Epstein? How can 4 more years of the orange man-baby be preferable to Biden?
