Periodic reminder to the press that if it’s raining and some batshit fascist cult leader says that it isn’t, your job is not to report to us that there are differing views about the weather. It’s to look out the fucking window.

The week is over. You powered through it like a champion. Now it’s time to follow Sid’s example: Lie on the floor and stare into the middle distance, also like a champion. Think about food. Or, like, how much you hate squirrels. Or why deer are confusing. Go ahead. Relax. Do it.

We may soon be able to add anyone with a low or fixed income to the list of unvaccinated.
If that doesn’t warm your heart, as you get boosted in Sept/Oct, put it on Republicans in Congress. And hold them accountable in November if they don’t change. (End)

This is the perspective I needed for a Thursday that has the potential to THURSDAY.
Quote Tweet
When my parents were living in Birmingham, my father had a friend named Deaver.
Deaver had a spider monkey named Baby.
One day Baby found a gun. And Baby ran away.
When I’m having a bad day, I remember that at least I didn’t lose a monkey with a gun.

When mask mandates dropped, many of you said you just desperately needed the “break” from pandemic restrictions for your mental health. Ok, we’ve seen the pics all summer of you enjoying the “normalcy.” You did allll the things. You HAD a break. Is it disabled folks turn now?

Remember that you can't pour from an empty cup.
Make sure you take care of yourself. 1st year teaching is tough but so many rewards are embedded in the process. Good luck and have fun.

When you lose an old friend, you also lose the private language only the two of you shared. I need a place to bury the memories of words.

What if “learning to live with COVID” meant learning to live with basic precautions like masks and enhanced air handling rather than living with repeated infections until your long-term health is threatened?

Whenever I see someone saying “don’t shame people going to conventions, they’re doing the best they can to be careful” I’m reminded how readily we’ll frame the most vulnerable as “scolds” for the sake of sparing the feelings of people who are making choices that cause real harm

"You'd be the one complaining if Biden's house was raided."
Yes. Because there's no evidence he's committed crimes in office. I also think it's fine to imprison Jeffrey Epstein and not fine to imprison Dolly Parton. This isn't hard.

I am not tweeting this for sympathy. My sister, healthy, vibrant, young passed away from Covid complications this morning. She, along with so many others decided masking was no longer needed. Passed away from the virus most people think is gone or never existed. Please stay safe.
