I’m out here in LA LA Land also and have never worn a mask out in public. If I enter a store(s) (multiple times a day) and a employee asks me to put it on, I intentionally fumble around looking for my mask. And before I leave a store I’ll rip the mask off and tuck it in my pocket to give the impression to those on the outside that I never had one on in the first place. I’ve seen so many people do a double take when they see me... it’s this slow-drip that I think will have an affect. Especially when I’m pushing a shopping cart back to my car with the biggest shit eating grin on my face. Mask wearers need to see us smile. I’ll smile and wink at people, I never used to wink, I do it because subconsciously I’m letting them know that I know something that they don’t. “I’m free, take a that mask off.” You can see it, you can almost hear the gears in their brains telling them to wake up. It’s just my small part, but I’m more than happy to do it.
