I'm so annoyed at Altruan. I was dealing with 2 boxes of pluslife tests coming up as invalid when there was still a month until expiration on them. All this happened while we were in Portugal with me recovering from surgery. We had to scramble to organise a replacement and all that. When we came back I emailed Altruan my complaint and asked for a refund or replacement and they require proof of three separate invalid tests from three different times and dates. Guess what? Did not think of taking screenshots when I was freshly operated and recovering. Truly a bunch of assholes. Why the hell would I make this up?
Should've just written to pluslife directly.

to elaborate more on the inspiration to making mask/respirator art and making this account.
The illustration I've attached is by Ryoko Kui in her Daydream Hour series. The characters are from her recent manga/anime Delicious in Dungeon.
The caption reads, "I was curious about how they would look putting on a mask. But surprisingly enough it ended up looking normal".
Everyone's different.
Everyone needs different masks. We can't keep ignoring the realities of airborne hazards for "one size fits all" bullshit 💢
if you need an ear-saver, lets get you some ear savers.
if you need a different shape mask to better accommodate your face shape and/or size, lets help you get masks that better fits your face.
if you need a clear mask to read lips, lets get you some masks or a respirator with a clear window to read lips
if you have facial hair, please check out the ongoing studies that suggest the under-mask beard cover (aka the Singh Thattha technique) can provide a proper seal
There are so many different options and sizes to try out :n95: :aura: :auraHCW: :xplore1900: :vflex: 💞 😷

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 wearing a mask :capoopleading:
Interests & hobbies: art history, animation/anime, animals, comics/manga, disaster shows, fitness, monster hunter, farm sims, racing games, mythology, nature, motorsports, solo sports, and retro tech
My favorite masks so far are bifolds with head straps + nose foam, duckbills with head straps, and medium-size respirators.
I currently own a 3M half face respirator and a Forged Air respirator. I'm saving up for an Omnimask respirator :acnhbells:
I get most of my disposable masks (n95 head straps!) from the local library 📚️ Please check your local library for FREE COVID masks! :n95:
I do NOT approve of my artwork being used to train AI and/or being used as token(s) and/or any equivalent technology developed in the future ❌️

Graz hat ein COVID19-Denkmal m Stadtpark.
Der künstlerische Anspruch wird auf einer daneben im Rasen eingelassenen Tafel erklärt. Ich finde den künstlerischen Wert nur mittelmäßig. Die Inschrift auf dem Sockel "2020" war außerdem etwas verfrüht.
Dennoch eine lobenswerte Ausnahme von der kollektiven Verdrängung.

what to do about treesIn place: 1. working or ready to work; established. 2. [North American] not traveling any distance. One thinks of Thoreau (Walden): “I have traveled a great deal in Concord.” To “shelter in place” is to ride out an emergency, disaster or apocalypse in one’s place of residence or wherever one happens to be. Here it is suggested that the study of reality may be carried on just as one finds oneself, be it home, monastery, hermitage, hotel, freeway, or jail cell.
Not hindering others is not hindering self.
— Dogen (tr. Tanahashi)Preface
The author is a part-time hermit, part-time householder; that is, the hut was by her back fence and she was not at the hut all the time. She is, since this frontmatter was written, a #SotoZen #nun, but was a layperson at the time of writing. The hut, called Gogo-an after the hut where Ryokan wrote poetry, contained
(deep breath)
a broom, cot, two blankets, two pillows, four chairs, electric desk lamp, desk, altar, censer, Buddha statue, vase, several clay offering bowls, candles, incense, lighter, cleaning rags, ointment, toothbrush, hairbrush, soap, ointment, two steel bowls, two soup/tea mugs, tumbler, two spoons, two forks, two pairs of chopsticks, a knife, steamer, coffeemaker, several Mason jars of dried tea, beans and grains, salt shaker with salt, water bottle, hammer, pair of pliers, assortment of hardware, pair of scissors, sewing kit, about twenty books, a transistor radio, Guanyin statue, a copy of a Soto Buddhist order of service, four chairs, framed enso, framed image of a statue of Mugai Nyodai, trunk with several changes of clothes and a pair of slippers, oil-filled heater, kerosene lamp, four bamboo window shades, work gloves, a gardening apron, secateurs, camp saw, ceremonial rakusu (for a Zen layperson) in its envelope, mala necklace and bracelet, lineage documents, pennywhistle, magnifying glass, flashlight, thermometer, and a horihori or Japanese gardening knife. Outside usually reside a bucket, hoe, sickle, and watering can. This list could easily be shorter but we’re not trying for martyrdom here.
She has since, for health reasons, relocated from the farm where the hut was located, to the city, where she found an abandoned tool shed on the premises, and repurposed it into a second "hut," Manzoku-an. https://manzokuan.blogspot.com/p/about.html
She finds that to "practice" in place is the best way to "shelter" in place. Her experiment in part-time hermiting predated Covid but proved to be a useful component of her family's #COVIDcautious toolbox.

— Dogen (tr. Tanahashi)Preface
The author is a part-time hermit, part-time householder; that is, the hut was by her back fence and she was not at the hut all the time. She is, since this frontmatter was written, a #SotoZen #nun, but was a layperson at the time of writing. The hut, called Gogo-an after the hut where Ryokan wrote poetry, contained
(deep breath)
a broom, cot, two blankets, two pillows, four chairs, electric desk lamp, desk, altar, censer, Buddha statue, vase, several clay offering bowls, candles, incense, lighter, cleaning rags, ointment, toothbrush, hairbrush, soap, ointment, two steel bowls, two soup/tea mugs, tumbler, two spoons, two forks, two pairs of chopsticks, a knife, steamer, coffeemaker, several Mason jars of dried tea, beans and grains, salt shaker with salt, water bottle, hammer, pair of pliers, assortment of hardware, pair of scissors, sewing kit, about twenty books, a transistor radio, Guanyin statue, a copy of a Soto Buddhist order of service, four chairs, framed enso, framed image of a statue of Mugai Nyodai, trunk with several changes of clothes and a pair of slippers, oil-filled heater, kerosene lamp, four bamboo window shades, work gloves, a gardening apron, secateurs, camp saw, ceremonial rakusu (for a Zen layperson) in its envelope, mala necklace and bracelet, lineage documents, pennywhistle, magnifying glass, flashlight, thermometer, and a horihori or Japanese gardening knife. Outside usually reside a bucket, hoe, sickle, and watering can. This list could easily be shorter but we’re not trying for martyrdom here.
She has since, for health reasons, relocated from the farm where the hut was located, to the city, where she found an abandoned tool shed on the premises, and repurposed it into a second "hut," Manzoku-an. https://manzokuan.blogspot.com/p/about.html
She finds that to "practice" in place is the best way to "shelter" in place. Her experiment in part-time hermiting predated Covid but proved to be a useful component of her family's #COVIDcautious toolbox.

Always interesting cleaning up the bathroom storage and running into old cold meds and cold and cough remedies. Stuff that has sat unused in the cabinets for 6+ years because we're COVID cautious and as a result, we haven't gotten colds, coughs, or flu. I'm not saying it will escape us forever. Free will ensures that some asshole who is knowingly sick will be out and about, and whatever they are carrying will sneak past the defenses. Because that's how it goes.
But in the meantime.... 6+ years...

Hey tabletop Seattle area covid cautious people, did you know about Go Play NW? You should!
On July 24-26 in Seattle, there will a small masked required convention focused on all things indie!
I haven't been (because I forget it's happening, even the online event in March) so this will be my first year!
The format seems pretty loose with some scheduled games (sign up to run your own!) or do the Donut (games on the spot).
