I agree, except for the huge part of being maskless at a bar.
This is a great piece by @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social with helpful tips for addressing COVID misinformation.

As a science communicator, my experience is that the best way to win people over is with empathetic real world conversations and it's work we all need to do if we want to turn things around.
I inserted myself into a conversation at a bar about Covid and vaccines. Here’s what happened
What happened when a public health scientist overheard four men sharing misinformation about Covid — and decided to talk to them about it.

The saddest thing is watching once good people, slide into conspiracy rabbit holes and when they reappear
they’re hate-filled, rage fuelled, brainwashed shells who can’t think critically💔
And vehemently believe they know “the secret truth”

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

It’s not okay to carelessly spread SARS-CoV-2/COVID—no matter what NPR, the New York Times, or the Atlantic tell you.

Resist forced infection. Refuse to be a link in the chain of transmission. Remind yourself to be a caring, responsible member of your community—especially now.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Teared up, watching my dog - sit, sniff the air & enjoy life.
His back had been sore this week so he was happy to sit outside. Listening to the birds.

Remember to breathe and find ANY moments of calm & joy.

Uhhhh 😒Grant on Temptation Island is diabolical and IMO, dangerous. He could destroy a partner.

Need a crash course on how to avoid being gaslit, manipulated & DARVO’d by a grandiose narcissist?

Politicians & media can’t keep pushing endless COVID reinfections as an acceptable condition of our “new normal”- while failing to communicate the risks.

The media forgets (or hope people forget) too fast. This was how the NPR covered our research not long ago.

Today is International #LongCovid Awareness Day, by the way.
Let's not forget to fight for the millions worldwide who never recovered after a #COVID infection.
