What does it mean if I wear a smiley face button in public?
Wearing a smiley face button signifies that you:
1) Miss & Value Smiles.
2) See people as humans, and not merely as scary pathogens to avoid.
Do I wear a smiley face button with a mask or without?
You can do either!
Depending on your situation, you may need to wear a face covering while “unmaksing your smile(y face) button” or you may choose to wear both a real smile & smiley face button. 🙂
Either way, you’re showing to others that you value them & their smiles as more than just a pathogen to avoid out of fear.

Yes.
Can I go maskless and wear a smiley face button?

What should I do if I see someone wearing a smiley face button in public?
Smile back at them! Make eye contact. Say hello. Tell them you like their smile(y face). See them as people, not just germs. Connect as humans again…like how we used to, pre-Covid restrictions. That world can be ours again!
