So I just walked 10 blocks to return some large empty jars for recycling and pick up more yogurt.
But when I got to the store, I couldn't go in.
Because I forgot my mask.
So you know what I did!!??!!

I walked back home and got my mask.
Because that's what adults do.

Yes, I personally know at least 50 people (mainly in large cities) vaxxed & never had Covid, including myself.
I continue to wear a mask in stores and restaurants and around people I don't know.
Totally worth it to avoid getting Covid or long Covid.
Thx for speaking the truth,

Wow. OK. I just had my 1st nasty attack by a Bernie supporter & I wasn't even talking about Bernie! Wtf?
Let me be VERY clear. If you want to support Bernie as your choice, fine. But if you attack me because I say sth nice about another Dem candidate, you CANNOT follow me. Ever.
Trump himself votes by mail but is spreading lies and making threats to prevent his fellow Americans from pursuing the same option during an epidemic.
It's clear we'll have to work to protect safe access to the ballot box this fall.
If I was a foreign power looking to create mass illness and death in the U.S., I wouldn't create a virus in a lab.
No, I'd inflame the poorly educated & conspiracy-lovers and encourage them to protest the 1 thing that can keep them safe during an outbreak.

Seriously? Okay. If you truly don't understand, here you go:
- You wear a mask on the way to your table
- You wear a mask when ordering
- You take it off when you eat
- You put it back on when you're done, paying and leaving.
To the Bernie bros and bots who attacked me viciously this evening, simply for being supportive of the Dems and Joe Biden:
You have completely energized me to work 10 times harder for every Dem candidate and for Joe Biden.
Congrats! (french chef's kiss)

Sorry to hear. I had a similar experience but not nearly as aggressive at a Home Depot yesterday & it just cracked me. See my 2 most recent tweets. It's why I'm withdrawing 99% from society for now, including Twitter. I have almost nothing nice to say about people now. Broken.
A Big Oil exec told me I had a "misconception" about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don't.
So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know!
Just a note that I will be muting anyone spreading conspiracy theory crap about Covid-19. In no way does it help people focus on taking preventative action.
Sorry to be crabby about this but there is now a case at my son's university and I have absolutely zero time for BS.

Off for the day, but want to put this out here:
When we don't speak up against conspiracy theories, we let them gain steam.
It's uncomfortable to speak up, especially when friends & fam are sucked in.
I get it.
But with COVID-19 lives are at stake.
Speak up. Save a life.
Giving the Trump administration another four years in office would have catastrophic implications for future generations. His victory would threaten the future of our democracy, and we must vote him out this November.
