what bell hooks particularly gifted me is a language of grief that is situated in love. her insistence in thinking of love and grief as symbiotic forces, as practices that depend on one another, has impacted me for the rest of my life. grief is the greatest expression of love.

“to be loving is to be open to grief. to be touched by sorrow, even sorrow that is unending. we need not contain grief when we use it as a means to intensify our love for the dead and dying, for those who remain alive.”

the nasal spray does not work like that… there is nothing rn that is equivalent to masking which even itself is not 100% full proof. we need to be putting pressure on our government for clean air and research for more robust vaccines. we need to protect our right to mask
If this happens to you in your area and you still want to stay COVID safe, I have personally had a TON of success staying COVID safe with nasal sprays. I use Covixyl. It’s not a drug. It simply changes the pH of your nasal cavity so viruses cant survive
