#Mastodon voice messages?
"Make social vocal" ?
Voice #filters added for #privacy?
(like #TikTok funny voice masks but more human sounding?)= voice messages + #masks / filters ?
(a risk but much more #progressive #P2P)
Protection with a voice 'mask'.
What do you think ?
(Text is limited = can't cover the human expression range like voice and for some text isn't possible / too hard).
Also #Jitsi (https://meet.osna.social/) + integrated voice #masks?

Forty Years to the Day
Has it really been forty years (!)1 since we first glimpsed Christopher Michael Vaihal Utrillojamsken wearing a mask of the kolkesplir named Bliskemowgarth? We did not know (yet) that it was Christopher Michael who Jack Loki saw in a dream. Jack did not know that it was Christopher Michael behind the mask, and we did not know that Christopher Michael was Jack's great good friend since childhood. We did not find that out for almost five months.2 We did learn that Bliskemowgarth was a demalion […]https://vraic.wordpress.com/2026/07/26/forty-years-to-the-day/

Today is the Moon’s Day
Monahdayeg is the Inultaru word for Monday - are you surprised, just a little, that jackalopes use what is essentially the old Anglo Saxon word, Monandæg, for Monday? I was. Today I hope to chisel away some of the curse of Mondays, a curse I inherited from my elders in the Arahdansdag-ba (an explanation for that word will follow presently). Icon Number Forty-Forty features a mask of Sathurvannu, a demalion of the moon. There are many different interpretations for masks of the moon in Inultaru traditions; Sathurvannu is the demalion for the Moon in the Daytime Sky. Needful Magic, no. 113 Last month's solstice project instigated a flurry of cipher-making within the relationship between my asemic muses and the universe.

Angles of Repossession
Yes, you have seen this mask before, in an episode of Vraicking titled "Dreams of Krishna". You also may have seen a version of this mask in one of the posters Yost created for Isona Semvashomky, the owner of the Black Clatter Café. Today's post is one of our Geranium lake Properties retrospectives. I have been feeling nostalgic, of late, for lost worlds, for the early part of this century, and for the Eighties and Nineties of the century before. I hope you can enjoy sharing that feeling as we look back at some of my favorite GLP panels. […]https://vraic.wordpress.com/2026/07/12/angles-of-repossession/

The Dance of Dissonance
Sometimes

I find myself lost
at the end of
a confusing day
trying to decipher labyrinthian relations
and coming up short,
suddenly wondering
how a day I thought good
was not for another,
caught up in
opposing realities
where mine is suspect
and empathy is a struggle.
The brain fog
of past illness
has left its trailing
fingers over my head
like the cigarette smoke
of the man I see one morning standing with his back to me on the dock outside the store where I used to work
and I wonder why he is there.
I am suspicious, feeling responsible for what is no longer mine to care about, so I observe, yet remain at a distance and leave without really discovering if his presence is innocent.
Such is the dance of dissonance.
I am close enough to see your back but too far to see your face clearly,
afraid that if I look too closely I will not like what I see or that I will recognize some ugly part of me.
I want to hear
that which runs
counter to my experience
but I must be honest and say that my capacity to understand the complexities of human behavior is diminishing.
I long for circles that are completely safe,
where the people I pass on the walk home illicit in me feelings other than fear,
lust, guilt, or judgement,
all of which mirror
the overwhelming sense
of dislike
I feel from the
world, and from myself perhaps.
It is my inability to not receive everything personally, this overwhelming sadness, unprotected by my hypervigilance, where I still seem to miss what is most important, and no matter how much I try to hold everything together, I cannot keep things from unraveling.
How do I continue to remain caring and yet not take on burdens that are not mine to carry?
This then is the strange choreography of relationship, the stumbling herky-jerky movements of a marionette pulled by invisible strings, revealed in the bright lights of another angry stage.
Yet we dance.
Through the pain of revelation.
The occasional stepping on of toes.
In the percieved exposure of audience eyes.
Shedding these inadequate masks and costumes one by one.
Finding our own rhythm in the strange movings of this particular
circle of love.

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/13 If writing wasn’t your thing, what would your thing be?
If I wasn't writing (novels, stories, or plays) I'd probably have a lot of fun with sculpting. I got motivated to make some latex Commedia masks a few years back and really enjoy it!
You make a clay model first, then cover it in plaster to make a mold, then pour in the latex up to the brim of the mold for about 40 min, then pour it out, let the film dry (1-2 days) and gently peel off a new face!
Cut, paint, and enjoy! It's rather satisfying.

Should ICE Agents Be Able To Wear Masks?
Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance
Should ICE Agents Be Able To Wear Masks?
By Joyce Vance, Jan 13, 2026
Protect and serve. That’s supposed to be the job.
What could be further from that than masked agents roaming American streets in packs, refusing to identify themselves, and terrorizing—there is no other word for it at this point—American citizens?
Early on, the excuse for wearing masks was that it was necessary to protect the agents. From what? There were reports that they were being doxxed, which no one in law enforcement likes to deal with. But they’re the ones assaulting and killing people, which is far more problematic. Back in July, the Acting Director of ICE, Todd Lyons, said that he did not encourage agents to use masks but would continue to let them wear them in the field “if that’s a tool they need to keep them and their families safe.” Now masks and gaiters are emblematic of ICE agents and their colleagues from CBP (Customs and Border Protection) doing immigration work in places like Minneapolis.
You don’t routinely see the FBI or U.S. Marshals out doing their jobs with masks on. There is literally no legitimate reason for ICE and Customs Border Patrol (CBP) to continue to operate this way during immigration “enforcement actions,” especially in light of the recent history of documented abuses. Anonymity accelerates that kind of behavior. It tells the agents they aren’t accountable for violating people’s civil rights.
There has been concern about the kind of people the administration is rushing into service in ICE and as deportation officers. Congressional Democrats are asking for information on whether hiring includes now-pardoned Jan. 6 defendants.
The overwhelming majority of federal law enforcement agents I worked with during my 25-year career at DOJ were men and women who were committed to following the law themselves while protecting their communities and prosecuting crimes. They believed citizens had constitutional rights. There’s no reason for the sudden change, a world where an agent shoots and kills a woman for no good reason, except that the current leadership in the White House and at DHS is willing to tolerate, if not encourage, what we’re now seeing. There are people ripped out of their cars, homes entered without a judicial warrant, agents who treat American citizens like they have no rights. This administration dishonors the service of the federal agents who spent their careers committed to constitutional policing.
Law enforcement officers are trained to de-escalate tense situations. Instead, we’re watching ICE agents act like the accelerant to a smoldering fire. The administration’s take on the failure of agents to behave like the good guys they’re supposed to be isn’t to put a stop to it. Instead, they revel in the Gestapo-like images of doors being busted down, school kids being knocked to the ground, and peaceful protesters being hit with pepper spray. So, it’s up to someone else to stop it.
The state of training at ICE is unclear, as new agents are rapidly hired and deployed. But what we’re seeing is troubling.
Some states have tried passing laws to prohibit masking.
California passed SB 627 (the “No Secret Police Act”) in late 2025, restricting law enforcement, including federal agents, from using extreme face coverings like ski masks during operations, effective Jan 1, 2026. There are logical exemptions to protect officer safety and the identity of undercover operatives. California Governor Gavin Newsom said at the time, “This is about the secret police. We’re not North Korea, Mr. President. We’re not the Soviet Union. This is the United States of America.”
The language of the bill explains that “facial coverings limit the visibility of facial expressions, which are essential components of nonverbal communication. In high-stress or emotionally charged interactions, the inability to read an officer’s expression may lead to misinterpretation of tone or intent, increasing the risk of conflict escalation” and that “the visibility of an officer’s face is vital for promoting transparency, facilitating communication, and building trust between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.” It also points out that “when officers are not readily identifiable, it increases the risk of impersonation by unauthorized individuals, which further undermines public trust, endangers public safety, and hinders legitimate law enforcement operations.”

The War on #Masks Has Taken on a New Meaning
This time, the masks have nothing to do with #COVID19.
By Henry Grabar
Feb 05, 20254:57 PM"Last month, state legislators in New York introduced a bill that would create a new crime: 'masked harassment.'
"That, the law explains, is when you wear a mask 'for the primary purpose of menacing or threatening violence against another person' or 'placing another person or group of persons in reasonable fear for their physical safety.'
"If that seems like a bit of a niche offense—threatening violence is already a crime, after all—it’s because the language has been watered down to attract political support. It’s a sign of New York Democrats’ cautious new approach over masks in public life, and a retreat from last spring, when anti-Israel protests, on top of a widespread urban crime panic, pushed leaders from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to consider mask bans.
"In its original form, the New York bill would have banned masks at public assemblies entirely. But the outcry from #DisabilityRights advocates, #CriminalJustice reformers, #HealthCareWorkers, and #CivilLiberties groups was swift, and so New York wound up with this bill on 'masked harassment' instead.
"Elsewhere, the pandemic-era leniency on masking in public is over. #NorthCarolina Republicans overrode a gubernatorial veto last summer to once again #BanPublicFaceCoverings, except to stop the spread of contagious diseases. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost dusted off an old law to threaten #StudentProtesters with #felonies. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has asked the state’s Senate to consider a bill to #unmask #protesters this year.
"For Republicans, it’s a chance to kill two birds with one stone. They can strike back against the perceived overreach of pandemic-era #HealthDirectives and make it easier to arrest #demonstrators at the same time.
"In #Ohio and North Carolina, the original statutes were written in the 1950s to stop demonstrations by the #KuKluxKlan, but had been ignored or suspended during the #pandemic and the #GeorgeFloydProtests. Many lawmakers have cited the recent demonstrations in defense of #Gaza as a reason to crack down again. Defending the proposed mask ban in New York, Anti-Defamation League [#ADL] president Jonathan Greenblatt said the demonstrators were using '#KKK tactics' to intimidate Jewish New Yorkers.
"That instinct was bolstered by the sense among many city residents and elected leaders that widespread masking was a factor behind the pandemic-era crime spike. That led to #Philadelphia banning #SkiMasks in parks, on trains, and in public buildings. A more recent, high-profile example came in December with the Midtown Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO #BrianThompson by a #MaskedAssassin, which prompted New York Mayor Eric Adams to call for cab drivers and business owners to ask customers to remove their masks. The new New York bill has won over the liberal Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who endorsed the 'tailored' approach. As the police say: #NoFaceNoCase.
"For what it’s worth, there are too many confounding variables and too little data to be sure if mask-wearing is associated with crime, said Ernesto Lopez at the Council for Criminal Justice, which collects crime reporting statistics from various cities. 'From a theoretical statement it makes sense that could occur, but it has not been demonstrated that’s the case,' he told me.
"But if all that weighed in favor of more mask bans, there was also widespread resistance. Disability advocates mobilized to defend the right to mask; North Carolina had to write a medical exemption into their bill at the insistence of a GOP House member. #PoliceReformers observed that #MaskBans have often been used for pretextual #policing and racial profiling against #BlackAmericans. (#AtlantaGeorgia tabled a mask ban for that reason.)
"What looms largest, as the second Trump administration begins, is the role of protest. As Semafor’s Dave Weigel has noted, masks have become a badge of left-wing protest culture. That’s in part an extension of politicized COVID-era concerns about health and civility, but at this point it is mostly a tactic to preserve anonymity in an era of #FacialRecognition, streaming video, and #doxing. Last year, the anonymous #ProIsrael website the #CanaryMission posted photographs of hundreds of students and faculty at campus protests and posted their names and photos online, labeling some as supporters of terrorism.
"'The concern takes on new urgency as Donald Trump pledges to revoke the visas of pro-Palestine protesters, and the Trump-Musk GOP embraces the naming and shaming of otherwise private citizens. A conservative group called the American Accountability Foundation has begun circulating lists of federal workers, many of them Black, who should be
'targets' for their alleged involvement in #DEI initiatives at work."Clearly, the masked protest does not always sit well with an older generation, many of whom cut their teeth in the protests of the pre-internet age. As Georgetown professor Michael Kazin told the New York Times last year: 'I do think if you are going to demonstrate, and it’s something you feel deeply about, you should be willing to stand up and be counted.'"

Since I want d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (HoH) people to be able to lip-read, I'm awaiting my OmniMask from https://www.omnimask.com
SeeUs95 is another option, or CleanSpace (HALO and other models) is expensive even for used headsets.
Otherwise Flow Mask or similar reusables are definitely the way to go.
Might even be able to 3D print parts of it, if you have willing friends to 3D model / sculpt / produce them.#DIY #mask #WearADamnMask #Masks #MasksWork #BringBackMasks #respirator #PAPR #OmniMask #SeeUs95 #CleanSpacePAPR

This is so disheartening. #HealthCanada just continues to drop the ball on combatting #covid.
This is beyond infuriating, and it’s all because of shady deals #Canada made with #Pfizer and #Moderna.
#Novavax is the only vaccine my #immunocompromised #bced k-12 wife can take without heart palpitations. It’s also the only vaccine I will take period due to health complications with the others.
Health Canada has also always made Novavax difficult to get. Despite living in busy Burnaby, we regularly had to drive to Surrey or the back of Port Coquitlam to get a dose.
They always made it a long awkward drive because they wanted us to choose moderna or pfizer out of laziness. The other “govt preferred” options were always available at the Walmart 5 minutes away.
They have now decided to force us into these other options or simply not get vaccinated at all.
Looks like my #bced partner and I will not be vaccinated this fall due to #HeathCanada’s careless decision to forget about us again.
I have absolutely no faith this #bcndp #bcgov will care about this either. Wouldn’t be surprised if this decision came directly from #BonnieHenry herself. They have abandoned the vulnerable yet again.
I now wonder if we will ever get vaccinated in Canada again. Looks like we will have to start traveling to the #US just to get proper coverage. Shame on #HealthCanada.
They should all be fired and replaced by #vulnerable people who actually still care to fight this pandemic with ALL tools available.
This decision by Health Canada will only result in more sickness and death.
#Masks are now our only line of defence, how long before they take those away?

@Geoffberner This would not be the new norm if we were all wearing #masks, but that’s not our culture right Bonnie?!
This bought off #TeamAccess #CDNmedia works solely for our gutless, slimy, covid defeated govt who desperately want to normalize societal sickness so people forget how government policies welcomed it all along.
#BonnieHenry, #AdrianDicks and this #bcndp profit off continued societal sickness. It drives their greedy push for privatized #TelusHealth.
More sickness means more money to these #corrupt government figures, simple precautions are too pricey to even consider.
This #BCndp will soon brag about how much they saved (how little they’ve spent) protecting our ailing communities as part of their upcoming campaign.
They will soon get re-elected despite their unrepentant callousness by using bribe money to buy expensive nonstop virtue signalling ads which will run daily on #youtube.
This #BCndp always have $$ for campaigning but won’t ever spend a cent to educate the public out of this horror show of their making.

The #BCndp pay #BonnieHenry upwards of 400 grand annually to professionally lie to us.
She’s paid to deny masks are useful while peddling her hand washing book. She’s paid to hide hospital outbreaks and rising death rates while minimizing #covid transmission in #bced schools and hospitals. She’s paid to publicly claim victory over a virus she’s silently embraced in pursuit of private health.
No one in #BritishColumbia voted for #BonnieHenry, yet as #PHO she calls the covid shots for all of us. No one polices #BonnieHenry, as “top doctor” she outranks us all.
I’m no longer sick of #masks, I cherish them; they’ve kept us healthy this entire pandemic. I unfortunately can’t say the same for #BonnieHenry and #AdrianDix.
Truth be told, I’m past sick of both of them. Their faces are the faces of defeat and a constant reminder of this #bcndp’s #eugenic surrender to #covid19bc.
Their briefings only serve to trigger the ongoing sadness and despair I feel for a govt I helped vote to power, who gave up on control of transmission and instead focused on restricting covid information and minimizing societal sickness and death they caused by giving up.
For #bcpoli to move forward, both #AdrianDix and #BonnieHenry must be replaced with someone less #corrupt who actually cares to combat covid.
#BonnieHenry will forever remind me of my loss of trust in public health. Whenever I see her I’m reminded of the daily lies, misinformation and all the disgusting praise she got for surrendering our province to #covid.
We in #BC deserve a fresh new #PHO. One that is less tired of lying or distracted by her next book. One without #GBD motives and a winery in addition to the exorbitant salary she gets pretending to be a doctor.
We in #BC deserve a true public health leader.

Good points here about masking in healthcare!
"Perhaps rather than removing masks to improve rapport building and enhance perceived empathy, we could find ways to improve masked communication. We should also strive to avoid placing the burden of advocating for patient safety solely on our patients by enacting policies that require them to request that their providers wear a mask when they believe it is appropriate."
