CW: Covid Denial and Friendship loss
@ThunderHoneySnow Thank you for articulating this so much better than I have been able to. I have been struggling with e.g. the loss of community at my dojo.
The stated aim of aikido is "to subdue aggression without injury", with a side order of "injring your partner is injuring yourself".
That notional concern for the well-being of others became purely theoretical when masks became optional at the school.To put it bluntly, the last time I went to a practice (2022) my mask was not treated with the respect and care that PPE demands, by an instructor who claimed the pandemic was over.
The years I spent practicing, believing I was among like-minded idealists, corrupted. The most effective tool I had for dealing with PTSD, lost. The sense of safety and autonomy develped on the mats, crushed.
And that loss is *further* from me than similar among friends and family.
I hope you and your friend find a path through. And, if you do, that you will share how. We all need wins, and that would be a powerful one.

I am wondering how to approach my MLA to get them to commit to opposing future mask bans in BC.

Our brother died shockingly suddenly, no explanation as to cause*, and trying to clean his home with the rest of the family has been illuminating. Because apparently, respirators are optional despite me bringing a box of them, and some windows being stuck closed. I'm told it'll be the same for the funeral, and what are you worried about. Like fuck you we don't care how soon our mom has to bury another child. Three out of eight, so far, two since 2020.
My own siblings. I am lost and the past few days have been pain and WTF /on top/ of bog-standard grief.
Masking is lterally a trigger for my PTSD and I do it anyways because PTSD is not a reason to be an asshole. All their objections are excuses.
*Don't jump, the coroner's office is slow. Speculate on why that is instead.

It’s absolutely criminal that mask mandates have still not returned yet. #BringBackMasks #BringBackMaskMandates #wearamask #WearAMaskPlease #MaskUpN95 #maskup #WearARespiraror #n95 #p100 #covidisntover #covid #CovidIsAirbourne #COVIDisAirborne #BetterMasks #covidisnotover #WearADamnGoodMask #wearADamnRespirator
