My cousin posted this meme (pictured below left) about #Biden so I responded with my own Trump meme. #NOTTODAY!

And as I was walking out 5 more people walked in, none of whom were wearing a mask.

I’m tired of people claiming “if masks work why are cases so high?”

The answer: I walked into a Subway today and 6/7 people in there were NOT wearing a mask. Besides the workers, I was the only one wearing a mask.

THAT my friends is exactly why we are where we are. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m at my township building to vote, in the longest line I’ve ever had to wait in to vote...

And let me just tell you how many people aren’t wearing a mask. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

The same people happily wearing their seatbelt & driving the speed limit to work everyday for their safety are refusing to wear a mask bc it’s “THEIR RIGHTS” and they’re not effective 🤔

Um, has a seatbelt been 100% effective? Absolutely not. Yet, there they are, wearing it!

People will believe a book written 3400 years ago, but won’t believe HUNDREDS of scientists who’ve cured present day diseases? 🙄

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

Woke up this morning to some seriously ignorant comments regarding COVID and goodness, I’m SO over the ignorance.

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

@m3gannicole We went there for our maternity class and sat on the couch and I commented on how I could steal all of their pieces and take it home 🤣

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

@kkieren When someone told me the week I went on maternity leave, “I think schools are going to close down...”

I was like “No way!” 😂😂

Little did I know...

I launched my blog 2 months ago & completely rebranded my instagram at the same time.

And I just landed a paid brand deal of $150 dollars in free merchandise and a payment of $750!

GRPS announced they’ll be online for the start of the school year.

Bravo to them for listening to their teachers & families.

Now to come up with solutions to help those students most in need from home. The work is not done yet!

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

For those parents wanting their children to return to school as “normal,” make no mistake in-person schooling this year will be far from your idea of ‘normal.’

Just giving you a fair warning.

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

@kelcmalia All schools higher education and K-12? If you don’t mind me asking for which state? I’m nervous this will happen in Mi too!

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

@kkieren Up here you’d be doing that quite often! Lol.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but fifteen states now spend $27,000 more per person in prison than they do per student.

[TrekkerTeach @trekkerteach12]

This should be the final straw that leads to a national teachers strike.

If we don't stand up now - when it's literally life & death for educators, staff, and students - when will we ever?

"We refuse to return to campus until our counties report no new cases of COVID-19 for at least 14 consecutive days. Let it be known that this is not simply a petition, but a statement of intent, a pledge not to return until it is safe."

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

I want to make this clear — I will not send our kids and our education workforce into our schools unless it is safe to do so, plain and simple. I have made decisions based on science and facts to keep Michiganders safe since the beginning, and won’t stop now.

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

The amount of people claiming that COVID-19 is a hoax is so alarming.

Is it also a coincidence that a majority of these people have zero higher education, and also have never travelled outside of their small city their entire lives?

🤷🏻‍♀️

[Melissa | GracefullyRoman @BesitosDeMel]

@DenverPolice @keanax_ Curious, are those three officers now employed under your jurisdiction?
