After 48 years of masking to look neurotypical, hearing ‘just adapt a bit more’ drives me up the wall. I’ve adapted every single day of my life already. Enough is enough.
In this piece I open up about the hidden cost of masking, the burnout that eats you alive, and why it’s not always us who have to give in.
If you’ve spent years fading into the background just to survive, you might see yourself in this.

@trendless Just wanted to share an update, indeed the 53899 and 54065/54066 N95 Kleenguard/KIMTECH masks are all discontinued.

Here's the PDF they sent me with the discontinuation notice + reason for ending distribution (lack of sales... sigh); dated May 29th, 2025.

Can someone point me to sources where I can read up on how #covid, #cleanair, #masking and #vaccination is perceived in the #netherlands #nederland?

I travel a lot to the Netherlands and I am almost always the only one masking in trains, shops etc. I have had no negative encounters though ^^
Is there a discourse or ambitions etc about implementing more systems for clean indoor air or are there already rules that shops/universities/employers/... had to implement?

6 Tage Congress hat mir lange nicht so viel Energie gezogen, wie die 3 Stunden heute.
