I dunno, wastewater data indicating 1 in 110 people infected seems like a pretty big deal. Especially since it's August, which is not supposed to be virus season.
Still masking. Getting some side-eyes. Don't care. I have Epstein-Barr dormant in my system. My future will never take second place to the opinions of some rando in a grocery store, or an alleged colleague, or even a family member.
(Gen X post-menopausal, #neurodivergent, anti-capitalist, intersectional feminist simmering cauldron of rage. Hear me roar.)
For anyone feeling intimidated by the dominant/eugenicist culture, your health is far more important than the opinion of some asshat who won't be there if someone infects you, even if you suffer longterm impacts from an infection, even if those impacts stop you from earning a living or cause you to lose your housing.
Their options mean nothing. Self-care combined with community care. That's our only sustainable way forward.
