Same, Matt, same. The only thing I know for sure is that am going to continue masking up.
Menschen mit psychischen Problemen entwickeln im Laufe ihres Lebens hervorragendes masking, und das ist für die Betroffenen nicht gut
1/2 I wondered if there might be initial tension over the response of the Columbia administration to the Sukkah going up. The students anticipated this and have public safety, admin, and press liaisons. They also created a set of community guidelines for the behavior they expect around the Sukkah.
![Welcome to the Liberation Sukkah
A group of autonomous anti-zionist Jewish students are building a Sukkah to begin the first night of the holiday of Sukkot. Sukkot is about welcoming the stranger and in that spirit, we invite anyone and everyone to join us; we will have food, prayer, teach-ins and time to be with our community. Here, we will gather in prayer and protest for the millions displaced in Palestine and, now, Lebanon. We refuse to observe a holiday that revolves around shelter while turning our backs on the displacement, suffering, and death that our religion has been exploited to justify and our university profits from through their indirect investments in weapons manufacturers. While we choose to sit in our sukkah in observance of our ritual and tradition, they shelter in tents because their homes have been destroyed by U.S.-made Israeli bombs and missiles. As such, we believe that our political solidarity with Palestine must be integrated into our ritual spaces, our prayer, and our religious observance.
Community guidelines
- We embrace and fight for Palestinian liberation in this space.
- Everyone is welcome! This must be reflected in our actions.
- This is a space of prayer and we are observing a holiday; please do not disturb people while they are praying.
- Additionally, please do not chant while people are praying.
- Masking is encouraged due to our close proximity.
- Do not block walkways.
- Do not record or photograph people without their consent
- Do not record people while they are sleeping or eating.
- Do not use amplified sound.
- We have public safety, admin, and press liaisons! Do not engage with public safety, administrators, and press. We keep us safe. Tap in early and wear a mask.
- When resolving conflict, we assume best intentions and remain humble when working things out.
- Ask questions! Sing, dance and learn with us!

and i might get fired. but, to stay on as long as i can, i am going to say positive things and pretend like i’m fine at the job masking. yup. lots of masking. fake it til you make it fail upward all that stuff.
I'm thinking maybe video editing/design or library science. I'd prefer something remote so I can express my gender freely without fear, but the foreseeable future will probably require a lot of "masking".
seemed like basically a paleocon. might be masking other things. anyway where I was going with that is that although his politics aren't obviously disqualifying, he's got a pretty visible internet footprint that I can't imagine being a turn-on for anybody
Same for me for my ADHD and ASS diagnosis with 19 Everyone but my fam saw a problem bc my whole fam was like very much the same as me lol. Turns out uncle, cousin, dad, granddad all very much the same lol. But yeah my symptoms were more masculine & I never tried masking much
Masking in public is also an act of political resistance.
Agreed, the things socialized into us are masking and behavioral modification, whatever the intention of the inflicting factor. Just pointing out the differences between diagnostic criteria based on non maskers and the traits that slip through the cracks bc of the socialization.
boa, captei, o masking é tipo a sintática sem a semântica, legal o take, amigo!
