Masking is the new #queer flagging.

I've never seen the idea articulated as well as @kaindeoanna / kain.deo.anna (Instagram/Threads) did.

Masking is the new queer flagging. Pass it on.
From @kaindeoanna

My mask protects you. Your mask protects me.
It says, "We're already missing half a damn generation of us."
It is what harm reduction looks like.

Your mask tells me that we already share values.
It says, "I want you to be safe. You belong here."
It shows that you consider the way your actions impact others.

Your mask is a middle finger to the medical industrial complex.
It says, "A condom or an N95 can't keep me from loving you."
It is solidarity with vulnerable bodies.

Your mask tells me you are critical of the system.
It says, "I will not serve your agenda at the expense of lives."
It is a rejection of mass disablement and white supremacist eugenics.

Your mask tells me how you show up for others.
It says, "I am in community with you." It is radical care shown to strangers.

My mask protects you. Your mask protects me.
It says, "Your norms do not serve us."
Our masks are queer as fuck.
