is that I think that right now any use of ‘lives matter’ may unintentionally dilute Black Lives Matter

Mask it or Casket is good.

But if you use 'Lives matter' is gets conflated with BLM for good or ill. 'All Lives Matter', 'Blue Lives Matter' are both intended to weaken BLM. We should stay away from that whether it is our intent or not.

My fav mask right now just says "Vote" but after Nov 3rd it won't make as much sense. Please someone start selling masks that say "Mask up. Lives matter," so I can buy some.

Edit to add: Just ordered from TPwholesale on Etsy a custom one. Expensive for a custom mask but that's ok. I really like sending a message the few times I'm out (which is really not often).
