I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.
It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.
Warning signs are everywhere.

This is Buddy. We're trying to raise enough funds to get him neutered and transported to us, plus all the documentation, vaccines, etc. he needs to travel. We've only raised $331 out of our $1,000 goal. Can you help us help Buddy? donorbox.org/mmfs-buddy

These two girls still have not had a single application. They don’t even need to be adopted together. Kids? No problem. Dogs? Fine! Other cats? They love them! People are missing out, they’re wonderful. If we can’t find them a home soon, we’ll need to transfer them to a bigger rescue w/more reach. 😭
What better what to spend #BlackFriday than by adopting two beautiful black cats? Agnes and Catarina are still waiting for a home of their own. Their adoption fee has even been sponsored, what a deal! These sweet & social girls are in Elkton, MD. #adoptdontshop Apply at crits4cats.petfinder.org

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster.
We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.

The 1950s "happy housewife" was central to #ColdWar propaganda, in contrast to Soviet working women. An American studies professor examines the reality behind this image: https://buff.ly/3ZPQ4OY

Links between gender stereotypes and American patriotism date from the Cold War − but weren’t true then either
Traditional ideals of gender roles hark back to a time of extreme American nationalist sentiment in the face of a significant international threat.
