Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.
I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Paid time off.
Free respirators for anyone who needs them.
Mandatory masking in healthcare.
Our rush back to “normal” has ensured a never ending cycle of sickness, death & disability.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
