Last week I braved Costco in Eastern Washington with no mask. Saw someone in the parking lot who looked like he might be awake so asked if he was masking up and he wasn't so I said, "Me either. Let's walk in together!" We held our masks in our hand with our Costco card. Spent about an hour there and no problem until checkout when they asked if I needed a mask and I said I didn't.
Thank you! I have not used a mask for months now and 99.7% of the time no-one says a word. Sometimes I really have to steel my nerves and tell myself, "If not me then who? If not now then when? I am an oppression fighter!" It is my mantra.
You're certainly braver in most instances than I, dear Fren. I still have a hard time going into stores and such without masks, although restaurants are at least where I like to push the envelope. I guess it boils down to need and convenience vs. resolve and resistance.
It happened slowly. At first I could only brave it with my husband along side. Then I would go alone and carry a mask in my hand in case(never needed it though), then I stopped even bringing it with me. Now when I am with friends and family I tell them not to put it on around me. LOL

Fucking awesome job, Fren.
