I made some mask chains :)

My partner recently started immunosuppressant infusions for a medical condition so we have to wear masks! You best believe I had to make sure it was fashionable and sparkly ✨

Edit!! Just wanted to clarify that these don’t poke any holes in the mask! They’re all secured with lobster clasps on the ear loops and in the first one it just hangs on the middle/doesn’t puncture :)

Looking for additional ideas to mitigate risk as a working musician

Hi all! My partner and I are both musicians that try to be as covid conscious as possible within the constraints of our work and it’s been getting more difficult. He’s just been put on immunosuppressant infusions for a medical condition (although we’ve been told it is much more targeted than the average biologic). Previously, we would unmask during performances. We want to tighten up our precautions now.

As a drummer, he’s able to mask while playing and hasn’t had any issues outside of the typical annoying questions and commentary. It’s been more challenging for me. venues have openly told me that me wearing a mask while singing is off putting to customers/they feel my voice is muffled. I wish I could just “find another gig” but I need the work and this is a very competitive field! On top of that, my best paying gigs are higher risk areas- small jazz clubs/bars/restaurants. If my own project takes off I’ll have control of how I present myself but unfortunately I’m not there yet.

I know this isn’t ideal. Currently, I carry a mini hepa filter that is running during my set. I mask until the exact moment I have to sing, unmask to sing, and then mask as soon as my set is over. I exclusively use my own microphone. I use azelastine spray right before I go into venues. I stay up to date on my vaccines, test, and neti pot when I get home to reduce viral load.

I know the most effective way to prevent illness is wearing a high quality mask. I’m also aware that being a woman is making this more complex- the venues want people to see my face because pretty girl keeps people at the bar drinking. At this point, my goal is to reduce risk while I’m working because eliminating risk isn’t an option.

TLDR: looking for ideas to mitigate COVID risk when singing masked is unacceptable to the venue. Currently utilizing azelastine spray, portable hepa filter, vaccination, testing, and neti pot.

bath day…Ella is stinky no longer

Please note, we use a prescription soap for Ella’s skin issues from the vet! No dawn dish soap on the gremlins 🫡

This curly cut was VERY overdue

It had been literally over a year because it’s so expensive to get a haircut these days 😅 worth every penny!!!

Btw, I’m thinking about getting highlights/sprucing things up with color for my album release. If anyone has any experience getting their curls colored please share!

My baby won’t stop over grooming :(

Hello all! I’m looking for some advice! Miss Ella here has had an over grooming issue for years now and we’re at the point where we have to put her in her donut so she gives her leggies and tummy a break :( please note that Ella is disabled! She has ch so sedating medication makes life extra hard for her

We’ve worked closely with our vet and tried:
-gabapentin (this made her even more wobbly and frankly, didn’t make much of a difference)
-medicated monthly baths/medicated foam in between- both are to moisturize her skin and we have seen some improvement I think?
-atop7 supplements for coat health
-gotten bloodwork/urine samples done repeatedly looking for underlying health conditions (and haven’t found any)
-feliway diffusers, increased play, and even an emotional support stuffy to help with possible anxiety

Does anyone else have experience here? I feel so bad when she gets hot spots on her leggies/her tummy is pink or sore from licking! It’s much worse in the winter but still happens in the summer time.

Age: 25
Country: US
We’ve been working with our vet!
Cat age: 5
Gender/spay: female and yes she’s spayed!

TDLR: my cat is over grooming (particularly her legs and tummy) and we haven’t found a solution.
