You know what I can’t stand? Men who whine about wearing masks because iT’s UncOmFoRtaBLe! Meanwhile us women have been forced to wear high heels that deform our feet to the point where we have to get corrective surgery. Not to mention get up an extra 15 minutes early to paint our faces so we “look professional.”

This is a long shot but are you taking ginkgo supplements? I tried it for a short while but it gave me heart palpitations.

I’ll admit it was a low blow and you sound like a much, much nicer person than me!

Lol! This dude’s hairline is socially distancing itself from his forehead and he has the audacity to make fun of an Asian woman’s appearance?

What’s funny is that now all the experts are saying that if everyone had worn masks in the beginning, Covid cases could’ve been reduced by as much as 80%.

Asian here:

It’s also important to remember to disinfect your mask not only from viruses (which are relatively easy to “kill”) but also bacteria. Some epidemiologist(?) on the CBC said you should replace your mask every few hours to prevent bacteria build up, as breathing in moist air can lead to respiratory problems.

I made 12 because I had a lot of scrap fabric lying around that I really wanted to use up. If you have trouble sewing I would suggest using a plain tightly woven cotton fabric like a bed sheet or pillow case (nothing stretchy or slippery).

I did that too but quickly ran out.

If anyone is making their own masks and can’t get a hold of elastics for the ear loops, you can use strips of T-shirt material. Just cut a horizontal strip (it has to be horizontal) about 1 cm wide and 15 cm long. You might want to experiment on the width and length depending on the stretchiness of your tee. Next,

Here’s a hint for anyone having trouble estimating distance: your height is the same as your arm span.

Thanks in advance and I will definitely check them out

Any recommendations for a good site that deals specifically with Asian American issues (and is also feminist)? I ask b/c quite frankly some of the responses to articles focusing on Covid related racism have been appalling. Why is it that the few times Asian racism is talked about, it’s always either A) diminished, B)

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ASIAN AMERICANS????

I wish I could give you a thousand stars for this. I’m so sick of people lumping all Asians into one group.

Why are you holding Asian AMERICANS responsible for the actions of the Chinese? You do realize these are entirely different groups. There have been several attacks by Black and non POC Americans on Asian Americans and yet I’ve seen absolutely nothing on the Root on this. Gee I wonder why.

Thanks for the great write up, Esther. I just wish more people cared. Seriously 15 comments in 5+ hours?

I believe the movie you’re thinking of is Foxes (from 1980), starring Jodie Foster and Scott Baio.
