Please use caution when bringing Twitter nonsense here: QTing stuff to dunk on it ended up being one of the most problematic, toxic elements there. It kept putting people in front of me I'd decided to ignore.
I'll beg if I have to: please, please, please stop fixating on what you want to oppose, and live into what you want to give your energy to, and what you want to celebrate.
I've found that being in a "for" community is much more productive than being in an "against" community.
all right folks, i'm off to bed. Thanks for hanging out with me for a bit!
@MarieFleur3 I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like in some of the really large cities in Europe. You stay safe too.
@Zoser its not fun, that's for sure.
I would really like to see less selfishness and more compassion from folks that live in a state that that literally has a church on almost every block in its capitol city.
@ProudlyIndependent You stay safe as well.

I am so happy that I can say, without abuse, that Black Lives Matter, Asian hate is stupid, our LGBTQ community is family, immigrants are the REASON the USA exists, masking and vaccines save lives, I hate guns, I wish every Repub loses their job, I want school debt forgiven, I support our teachers, I want abortion rights to get codified, and OH SO MUCH MORE! I feel so good that I’m not going to be absolutely abused by some right wing troll for saying this. I want LOVE TO WIN!!
Ok, thank you.
I want to thank everyone that's replying to this thread. it truly does mean a lot to know there are folks out there that care and don't dismiss what I'm saying
@Dschema Cancer survivor here too, hit my 5 yr mark March 22nd.
I don't hink its so much as the US goverment not caring....its the GOP, Q a-hole, and deniers that have just worn people out.
@HeyMarlana My dad's youngest brother, his wife and one of their adult sons have COVID back in 2020 and it almost killed them. all 3 are diabetic like me, My uncle is highly suspectable to lung infections. All three of the ended on the vent. My aunt coded twice. somehow they all pulled through.
@Thumprhare thank you for the recommendations. I've had n95s for a while now. soon as they became more accessible, I got mine.
@SANJOSEMAILMAN I am cautious...I'm also proud to say I've never given a flying f*ck what others have said about me. lol...even as a toddler, I sassed back to anyone that tried to ridicule me. you grow a super thick skin in my family or you don't survive.
Needles to say, bullies never tried with me a a kid or adult. I go for the juggler. LOL
I get looks from folks...and I get alot of grief from my dad when I wear my mask. he wont wear one now.
some days, especially here lately, that fear is almost overwhelming...I've survivied two life threatening illness since 2014....I'll be PISSED if COVID takes me out.
What I'm struggling with is this, I live in a deep red state full of deniers, surrounded by deniers. I wear my mask when out, and I have to go out; I help my dad with his stuff on the weekends....I'm honestly terrified at this point that I'll be exposed and be one of those that's not so lucky.
