This is why you should wear a mask. Because this is how former friends, colleagues and employers will speak about you when a virus disables you and you no longer have any social, cultural or labor value to extract. Sick, alienated capitalist society

My dad unexpectedly passed away at 67 in his sleep very early Tuesday morning. If you have a parent or parents still alive, go give them a hug this weekend for me. If you're a parent who has kids, go give them a hug for me. 💔
