Getting my #Tarot Patreon back in action today. There's some free content, some cheap content, and one rather expensive tier. A separate store for personal readings will get launched soonish. And this free post! patreon.com/JustChrysTarot/p…

At Target today, the cashier pointed to my N95 and commented that she's seen so many people with masks recently. I told her that covid levels are high right now. She acted shocked and responded "I thought that everyone was masking because of the Russian plague." 🫠🫠

reminder that the most deadly job in the US since COVID began has been working in restaurants w teaching not far behind thousands are dying every week from COVID bc y'all refuse to wear masks and keep disabled people alive millions are dead in the US alone
coworker passed away over the weekend. we were informed during a meeting, everybody was shocked for about a minute, then the meeting continued like nothing happened. bro, these jobs really aren’t worth the strain we put on ourselves

Masking really does take courage, especially when you’re the only one doing it, but science says we’re doing the right thing.
Thank you to all of the courageous people out there who continue to mask, even when it’s not the popular choice!

My Aunt went to get her flu jab and now thinks it’s given her the flu. I asked mum did she say the people in the pharmacy were sick? She said yes they were all coughing…. I had to explain that maybe she caught the flu IN the pharmacy?? Where all the sick people are??

let’s go back to wearing masks in public, too, but upgrade to N95s so we can get measles, flu, COVID, TB, and other airborne pathogens under control.
Crazy how we were doing just fine without genAI not even 5 years ago. Let's go back to that.

"Living With Covid" = Dying Prematurely Your fantasy of Covid being innocuous will eventually destroy you and the poor people you infect because of your willful ignorance.

We're living in hard times. And a lot of us have grief on top of that. Or inside of it. Or under it. I know I do. How are you doing today? If you need something... a virtual hug, good vibes, a place to vent, here's your sign from the universe. Someone does care.

WOW. I'm really not looking forward to getting any older as an ADHD girlie :-/ Otoh, the odds are nil that I'll get to retire anyway, so *shrugs*
My mom met her new doctor after waiting for almost 5 months since old GP retired. When going over her current prescriptions, he said he wouldn't take over prescribing the ADHD med she's been on for 20 years and said, since she's retired, "What have you really got to get done?"

You all know that people weren’t this sick all the time before 2020. You’re just ignoring it because the truth is too frightening.

This guy will do anything except wear a respirator
Take earplugs everywhere Environments routinely above 85 dBA > restaurants > sporting events > social gatherings > gym and theater > trains and subways > coffee shops Can't currently fix hearing loss. Hearing loss accelerates brain volume loss and cognitive decline.

People really think Covid ended. Like, they really actually believe it, while it continues to come in wave after wave. The state propaganda really did its job. Too bad public health didn't, because they killed it for corporate real estate and political favorability.

More than two years later and just as true!
Next in my "it's okay to..." series. Your feelings of grief, loss, anger, frustration and sadness are all valid. It's okay if you're struggling right now, these are difficult times we're living in 🩵

expressions like “during covid” and its preposterous complement “covid is back” have got to be the most anti-intellectualist/anti-science indicators of our time.

Boss almost loses it with a customer so now they’ve developed new communication protocols for us (AKA anger management training). And yes, they are just getting over what could be their 6th or 7th covid infection. The frontal lobe damage is real.

Genetic essentialism trips us up in many things. Not everything that persists is beneficial and not everything that disappears was detrimental. Autism’s persistence could be for no “reason” at all. 1.
If autism is genetic and relatively common, then it must hold an evolutionary purpose for it to remain prominent

Because it’s only going to get worse with every new wave. 🦠
This might sound crazy. But one of the skills you NEED to learn is how to deal with a more and more illiterate society full of emotionally dysregulated people. If you keep getting frustrated every day over how "ďumb" everything/everyone seems, the stress of it is going to wreck your mind.

I expected that the worst people would do everything they could to gain more wealth and power, what I didn’t expect is for most people to see that and aspire to be them.
