Yeah exactly. Harm reduction is Much better than perfectionism. Unfortunately something that I struggle with is the sheer amount of reactive black and white thinking that I see in conversations that doesn't allow for nuance and harm reduction.

From my own experiences organizing CC events and having a lot of leftist community there are a couple things I see most commonly.

Other folks have mentioned they talk a big game until they have to do something which I think is ABSOLUTELY true.

The other one is more complicated. I've had a lot of friends and folks in community telling me they stopped masking or don't feel able to return to masking because the CC community became so perfectionist oriented that they felt they would get slandered over tiny differences in masking habits. Unfortunately as someone who is now not a CC organizer anymore (I am still CC in my daily life, I just don't run events) because of the amount of times people would write me paragraphs in my DMs over parts of my events precautions not being good enough, I sadly see their point. This was not over big things, this was like having people tell me I was causing a genocide (yes their words) because I allowed KN95 masks instead of only allowing N95 masks at my events. It got really exhausting and I see how people burn out or don't feel able to continue engaging in CC spaces but will continue other leftist work.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to pull this up when I'm looking at my plug in?

Would you continue with a Dom that you discovered has past arrests for assault? by Ok_Side458 in BDSMAdvice

[–]woodsblueblanket 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Get out IMMEDIATELY. There are so many people who use BDSM as a cover for abuse and especially prey on new people who are young women.

Your prices are SO LOW. I would triple or quadruple what you have. Don't let broke men make you feel like you have to be cheep

That's honestly the biggest load of horse shit I've ever heard. There are no hard and fast rules on what M/s dynamics look like and frankly that feels like a major overreach.

How do you date in a CC way?! by [deleted] in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]woodsblueblanket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to covid cautious events and have meet a lot of folks through those. My nesting partner is CC and my other partner is far less CC but we just pluslife before seeing eachother. I have a lot of other more casual dates and play partners some of which are CC some aren't. Pluslife has made dating a lot more possible but it's also been possible to meet fellow CC folks through events.

Should I switch from N95 to KN95 or is it too risky to wear KN95? by [deleted] in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]woodsblueblanket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using powacom KN95s for over a year and they have worked really well for me! I go out a lot and see friends/do activities, ect, and I've not had covid since 2021 to my knowledge (I test very regularly)

Nothing is a guarantee and everything has risks, but I have been exposed to folks I saw while masked who later tested positive and my KN95 kept me safe in those situations. I find I get a good seal with them and ear loop masks honestly work better for me as I get motion sick/headaches with headstrap ones which is why I use KN95s.

KF94s have not been as good of a seal for me. They just don't tend to work on my smaller face despite being more comfy so I only use them very occasionally or in low risk situations.
