Not exactly the same thing, but this reminds me -

On the Tube the other day, I had luggage so I was queueing for the lift. The person in front of me starts coughing and covering her mouth, and she's obviously already noticed my mask, because in between coughs she's looking over at me and saying "oh I'm sorry".

I said something like "don't worry, I'm probably the best protected person here" :-)

I don't think she understood what I meant though! She was still explaining (cough, cough) "I have hay fever".

I think it says something about the symbolism of mask = sickness. It doesn't seem to occur to people that the mask is a functional thing, and in practical terms it's often the people _without_ a good mask who are more at risk.

(Same with the flip side - avoiding sitting next to me, and I'm inwardly like "I'm the _least_ likely person on this bus to give you anything!" haha.)

She was kind in intention though. People can be lovely. I'm pretty sure I get more offers of help with my luggage than I did in the before times, as well.

"Solidarity Pride" in #Glasgow on Saturday, i.e. 18 July 2026, free event.

Looks interesting - I'd want to go if I were near there.

Includes "workshop on public speaking" from Ruth Pearce, "at the Glasgow Solidarity Pride Hub in the Pyramid at Anderston ... during the afternoon for about an hour".

Ruth's post says "The wider event is going to be super cool, with loads of amazing workshops, stalls, and food produced by local queer organisations."

And the poster says "Masked until 1pm". That's interesting to me as a way of handling the different needs and different levels of willingness around infection safety. It looks as though Ruth's workshop will be _after_ the masking-watershed, but I wouldn't be surprised if having the earlier masked timeframe helps to make it more socially comfortable to mask in the afternoon too.

Powerful short poem here - "Elegy for A Mask Mandate", by Ellen Samuels. Encountered it initially in the anthology Disability Intimacy, which I'm reading at the moment.

"For a year, maybe two, I knew
that you loved me."

https://wordgathering.com/vol16/issue1/

(Scroll down that page a little way to find the poem. There's an audio recording as well.)
