Being covid aware is lonely. I can handle it. What I can’t handle is watching my loved ones wake up everyday to play Russian roulette with a gun whose bullets are named cancer, heart attack, Parkinson’s, dementia and etc. And by loved ones I mean everyone.

Attending a protest aimed at protecting the community against violence and injustice while wearing an N95 (or better) respirator mask would lend greater moral credibility to the cause.

Tough day. Mammogram this morning. 1 person in the health centre wearing a mask. 2 techs in the tiny mammogram room - no masks.
Work tonight I’m masked (as ever) a PATRONIZING voice ”Are you feeling sick tonight” I’m like I feel fine. “Oh so you’re smart“
Smarter than you lady.
Enraged.

From the start of the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, authorities have brazenly violated essential principles of public health. Even worse, the masses have willingly accepted the violation of those principles, making it inevitable that illness and mortality will relentlessly increase.

If, when I drop food off at the community fridge, there’s a neighbour checking it out, I ask what would they like. Then I put whatever they say on my list for the next week. Last week a man told me he liked sardines. Now I personally love sardines but I accept this is a niche taste.

Random radio dj, first of all, the Golden Globes sucked. They were not great. Second of all - you think it was awesome they sat Leonardo DiCaprio/Sean Penn at the same table? Do you, an idiot, think that maybe they were at the same table bc they were in the same fucking movie. Wake up or shut up.

My fellow organizers I beg you to rethink your use of reply all. I don’t need 19 emails hitting my inbox in a variety of can’t make meeting/can make meeting/looking forward to meeting/etc. And I’m a small hamster! How people more involved handle it I don’t know.

Good morning from Canada, a country whose border Trump has called an “imaginary” “artificial line” established by an illegitimate treaty. I’d like to be spared your nuanced “Were Trump voter’s racist with fascist inclinations or just low information voters with fascist inclinations?” debate today.

No illusions about what I can control. I did email Prime Minister Mark Carney asking for unequivocal condemnation of the Trump administration’s actions in Venezuela.
Later I’ll go to the grocery store to buy food for the community fridge as I do every Saturday because people in Ottawa are hungry.

Years ago when I was a kid I watched a program about a bunch of kids having a bake sale. It was to raise money for some worthy cause, actual cause not relevant. So brownies were baked, peanut butter cookies were pressed with the tines of a fork to make that little grid pattern on their back.
