new zine i made on a whim because i got annoyed once again

transcript below

title: the only thing that makes it hard to wear a mask while working out is your annoying ass

subtitle: your lack of care for public health gives me no other choice, so at least, leave me alone

may 2025 - starkittyzines

the front page cover has a drawing of a character wearing rollerskating gear and a kn95 mask

"can you even breathe?" no i can't, actually. my body functions without air or oxygen. it's magic. i'm just build different.

yes, i can breathe in a mask. they filter the air to keep me and others safe from covid + other viruses. ideally, I would workout without a mask. but i roller skate indoors, around a lot of people. maybe if we were all making the safer choice to mask in closed and crowded spaces, we could consider it safe-ish to unmask for indoors sports, but we're not even close.

"i could neveeeeeeer" i know! i haven't seen you try! :)

"omg are you sick? you better not get me sick!" says the person without a mask?? hello?? how do you know for sure you're not sick?

"oh you're not? why are you wearing this then?" because i would like to... keep not being sick

helmet, gloves, kneepads: good! safe! smart! mandatory even

high quality mask: unnecessary. why? don't care

the risky sport enjoyer's logic about protective gear meant to keep your body and health safe

advice break: i find that duckbill style masks are easier to breathe in. they touch my face less so they are more comfortable to sweat in.

i personally can genuinely breathe just as good with my mask on. but even if it did bother me a little, 1) it is a small discomfort compared to getting sick or getting someone else sick, 2) it's my choice and none of your business. why are people so bothered?

constant questioning

isolation

people ignoring me

people only talking to me about my mask and then getting defensive why i answer questions they asked

nobody else making any effort to keep us safe...

this makes it hard to participate in sports while masking, sometimes. not the mask itself.

(for me!!!!)

some people do find it difficult to breathe in a mask during physical exercise. if everyone else was consistently masking in other contexts (parties, shipping, on the bus...) then there would be less risks to spread viruses and these people could unmask in the gym, if clean air (using filters and purifiers) was a priority... but not enough people care.

ERAS OF ERRORS

I was swithering about posting this for a bit because it was mostly for catharsis of being Annoyed, but the new album being everywhere got me Annoyed again.

Non-comprehensive list. Just a small collection.
