"@musclebun.shop image description 1: digital illustration with vibrant colors. 8 animal chibi characters stand holding hands and wearing respirator masks around planet earth, which reads "world mask week" in bubble letters

@musclebun.shop digital illustration with pastel colors and sparkles. animal chibi characters wearing respirator masks in different settings, including a grocery store, doctor's appointment, and on public transit. in bubble letters at the top and side read, "mask up at the big 3!" and "stores, appointments, transit" links included at the bottom for free / cheap masks: maskbloc.org and linktr.ee/buymasks

based on the meme of wholesome buff guys giving advice to a lanky teenager with glasses. the characters are cats, a muscular bunny, and a muscular frog. the panels and text are blue.

first panel reads: hey guys, i wanna start wearing a mask again. but it's been so long do you have any advice

second panel reads: that's awesome, bro. i'd say the best places to start are "the big three": stores, appointments, and public transit. you can always work your way up from there

third panel reads: hell yeah, with airborne viruses like covid-19, deffo recommend a mask that filters the air, like a KN95, N95, or KF94. you can find cheap masks or even free ones by hitting up your local mask bloc www.linktr.ee/buymasks www.maskbloc.org

fourth panel reads: ditto and welcome to the club. i was just like you once, and community helped me realize just how important it is to continue to protect each other. it's definitely easier to mask when you're not the only one."
