Free 3D Contoured Face Mask Pattern by yifarn at the Japanaese Sewing Books blog. This looks like a straightforward mask pattern and might help with the glasses fog problem? I have a lot of inertia around tackling sewing projects, but I might give this one a try.

Covid Survivors With Long-Term Symptoms Need Urgent Attention, Experts Say by Pam Belluck via [personal profile] conuly, who quotes some good comments. Perhaps a tarnished silver lining of the whole COVID pandemic is that the medical and scientific communities will finally pay more attention to chronic post-viral syndromes and find some treatments and a minimally-acceptable level of belief and compassion for their patients.

Beware the Age of Symbolic Anti-Racism by Jesse Curtis. I am wary of the title of this blog, "Colorblind Christians," but this post is clear and to the point.
Look, I’m not saying symbols and words and representation don’t matter. They do matter, a lot. But the fact that the most powerful institutions in our society would rather hold an anti-racism seminar than a workers’ rights information meeting ought to give us a clue! Symbolic anti-racism is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. We must not only be passionate, but analytical; not only well-intentioned, but practical. We must demand concrete results for ordinary people. Otherwise, what’s the point?

I spent October and November being so miserable with glasses-fogging that I was seriously considering contact lenses for the first time in more than 30 years. Then I discovered I could just stick the top edge of the mask to my face with bandage tape. Almost 3 weeks with no fogging. (Not sure if it's more or less trouble than a sewing project. Depends how you think.)

That last article has some v very good points. People do love magic and symbolism over concrete actions.
