is there a way we can use the coronavirus thing to get people to stop bringing children to places they shouldn’t be?
you know exactly who I’m talking about
lady, your baby is SCREAMING at Target because (a) she's wearing a face mask for no goddamn reason and (b) SHE CAN'T LOOK AT FACES RIGHT NOW BECAUSE EVERY OTHER ADULT IS WEARING ONE and IT'S SCARY.
thank u for coming you to my TED talk

hello friend! i woke up on 19 March 2020, regretted my Super Tuesday vote for Elizabeth Warren, and vowed to never vote for another Democrat ever again. it's been quite the 20 month journey, but i learn something new everyday!

this man loves his kids so much he's willing to get escorted out of a *public school board meeting* by the police just to get his children back in the classroom. he's risking his job and reputation to tell the world how much he loves his children. we all owe him a beer.
are we really going to live in a "society" where from Thanksgiving to Easter absolutely nothing gets done because everyone is "sheltering in place" or "quarantining" from home and not going to work because that's going to get really old really fast

please give your little girl a big hug from me and tell her that there are lots of grown ups who want to see her smile and we're going to fight for her right to go to school and live mask free

if the government can make me wear a mask, they could force me to have an abortion. or carry a pregnancy. or donate an organ, or blood, or eggs. or take a medical treatment or undergo a procedure. it's a slippery slope, isn't it. "my body my choice" is bigger than abortion.

jesus i'm just hoping that in 5-10 years, all of these people mixing and matching their booster shots still have semi-functional immune systems. this seems like such a gamble - why take this risk?
the will never admit that they were wrong for two years. they promised a circuit-breaker lockdown would work, masks would work, the vaccines would work. and yet here we are. pride goeth before the fall.
These people angry at the unvaccinated—assuming some of them honestly feel this way—what do they honestly expect to happen if 100% of people get vaccinated? Do they actually think COVID will simply disappear—despite surges and lockdowns in fully-vaccinated places like Gibraltar?
@Leftylockdowns1
we had 18 months to build hospital and health care system capacity and we did fuck all to solve that problem. much easier to just shift the blame to individual behaviors and remake free society overnight, am i right?
@erichhartmann
i'm still arguing with so-called adults who think you can simply turn the economy on and off again like a computer game, or that you can just print money on demand with zero consequences. we're beyond fucked.
it's funny, some of the same women on here who are saying "OMG ZELENSKYY IS SO SEXY!" and "those Ukrainian men defending their homeland are hot!" are the same women who made their own husbands and boyfriends stay at home for 2 years and shamed them for wanting to go and bro out
@Arwenstar
girl, it's not just you. i work in-person every day, i take public transit to work, i avoid wearing the mask as much as i can, don't use hand sanitizer (i just wash my hands frequently). we've traveled/flown, we dine out, we shop in person. how have we *not* gotten this yet?
@AlannaBennett
NO! i am short and fat, and high-waisted jeans give me much needed length in addition to muffin top control. low rise jeans will make a comeback over MY DEAD BODY! also, i like having a bit more room in my pockets, ngl.

my own family flipped out on me and called me terrible names when i told them i wasn't super-excited to line up for the new vaccine. accused me of being an anti-vaxxer, anti-science, alt-right wing crackpot. really hurtful. and they won't listen to sense or reason.

i'm not okay after reading Olivia's heartbreaking story. "what’s the point of nourishing a body that has no purpose or direction?" 😭 no 19 y/o should lose the will to live because due to a virus that's no risk to their age cohort. when do the adults stand up for Olivia??
Mental health among young people has deteriorated significantly.
I had the opportunity to write a first-person narrative w/ Olivia, an American college student who struggles daily w/ her “new normal”.
She is one of millions suffering.
This is her story.
Public health experts (& the media who boost them) are, in many cases, living in a delusional fantasy land. People should live a perma-reduced life? OK, what about single people––should they go out and date? What about people who make a living working at crowded bars?
lmao trying to buy teacher's votes, Terry? good thing there are more parents and taxpayers than there are teachers and unions
funding should follow the child, not the union - vote

To every Virginia teacher, I promise you this: I WILL raise teacher pay above the national average for the first time in the HISTORY of our Commonwealth.
i love how covid-19 reveals people as the fascists they truly are - what kind of fucked up individual trains their kids to sic on people wearing their face diaper on? wtf? would they tell their kids to call the cops on Soviet dissidents, too? special place in hell for these narcs
@Susan_Hennessey
what kind of judge presides over a trial with no witnesses? what kind of judge refuses to enter new evidence? i want to respect Chief Justice Roberts, but he's letting McConnell walk all over him, and he's giving this show trial his blessing. Warren's comment was well earned.
@ontheasternsea
i can't believe how quickly they accepted it, and how quick they are to deny any precedent, how reticent they are to look at data, how quickly they amended the scientific method. how they refuse to see common sense.
they just bent over and took it, and they like it.
are you talking about school choice for Virginia families? every family in VA should be able to give their child the edu they want, not just the wealthy. money should follow the students, not the teacher's unions. vote
@GlennYoungkin
to give all kids in VA real opportunities!
Glenn Youngkin wants to bring the Donald Trump-Betsy DeVos education agenda to Virginia: MASSIVE cuts to public schools and redirecting taxpayer dollars to private schools. We’ve got to stop them.

i'm honestly concerned for the safety of U.S. officials and persons who are on the wrong side of this criminal enterprise/administration. we've seen Putin dispatch his henchmen and dispose of the bodies all over Europe. i'm afraid - sincerely - that's where we're headed.
if you all can, please say a prayer for sweet Morgan who crossed the rainbow bridge today to be with Arthur, Polly, and Nana 🌈
she turned 15 on 1 May 2023 and the first thing she did when she met me was pee in my suitcase (i'd just flown home from Moscow 😂)
love ya Morgie 💔

obviously my memory is unreliable, but i don't remember following my mom into the bathroom or shower and pretty healthy personal boundaries - are parents not allowed to have those anymore?
leave the kid in the pack 'n play for 15 minutes and shower, ffs
please pray for my sister-in-law - she's been admitted to the hospital with preeclampsia, the baby is at 36 weeks, and they're going to induce labor. this is her first baby and our first niece. thank you 🙏👶

#jamalkhashoggi
and the subsequent cover up by the Trump admin are the culmination of the greatest fears of the Founding Fathers. a president is beholden to a foreign country and is complicit in their crime. all for money.
1. If the Wall Street Journal is right, the president already knows that Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Yet he’s saying anything that comes to mind to protect America’s ally in the region. Why?
@freyas_house
the last two years showed me that the left is not on the side of women and feminism. feminism is for everyone and we are all created equal. the left decided to keep us barefoot and pregnant at home without any recourse. they're the regressives. i'll never vote for them again.
if i'm ever having a good day, i like to settle in on my couch with a nice glass of wine and watch my NY Giants embarrass themselves and that checks my privilege pretty quick 😊🏈🤬🍷

And boom, there it is: "Fed up with remote education, parents who can pay have a new plan for fall: import teachers to their homes...It’s a 2020 version of the one-room schoolhouse, privately funded."
@DACDAC4DAC
if Biden cancels student debt, the midterms will be more than a bloodbath. can you imagine the seething anger of the working class, after two years+ of lockdowns and crippling inflation, only for the admin to turn around and fondle the pyjama class? blood. bath.
