I don’t know if it’s because it feels like the end is in sight, or that this has been going on so long but everyone I’ve spoken to (including me) feels like they are careening in the way you kind of go crazy at the end of a long horrible journey when you are desperate to get home

“There is a flip side to the fallacy of individual responsibility during the pandemic: just because we’ve been given permission to do something doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing to do.”

For those of you keeping score at home

26 million Americans are known to have had COVID
420K of them died from COVID

29 million Americans have gotten COVID vaccines
0 have died from COVID vaccines

When it comes to generating immunity

vaccine > infection

Easier, way way safer

@OShaun12 The only backlash the article mentions is a reporter asking her about it. “I think the beauty of this team is we stand behind each other, no matter what.”

Biden, speaking to his new W.H. staff:

“If you’re ever working with me and I hear you treating another colleague with disrespect, talking down to someone, I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs, ands or buts.”

The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.

Something that has been made clear:

We need to stop saying “This is not who we are” in “America.”

Indeed, this is not who and what the United States should be, but denial won’t make the injustices and inhumane ideologies less so.

We can’t change without truth.

Biden: "This is not America."

Narrator: "It was America."

My gal was her favorite scientist, @TheSpaceGal In Des Moines, kids have to tell a joke to earn their candy.

What do scientists use to freshen their breath?

Experi-Mints!

Everything, tl;dr: Trump win not very likely, but not impossible

@OShaun12 @ryanstruyk Science is all about researching to find the best way forward. Changing your mind and your behavior based on new information is smart! (Also he’s been a broken record promoting MASKS, DISTANCE, HANDWASHING for 6 mo)

wouldn't it be freeing, for a fleeting moment, just to 'roid out and start tweeting things we cared about, in all caps with a bunch of exclamation points?
Like in my case i'd just tweet out snacks, i.e.

DIPPING FRIES IN THE ORIGINAL CHOCOLATE FROSTY!!!

A great model for understanding why we need to do multiple things at once to protect us from Coronavirus.

“The truth is that the best argument on each side is a damn good one, and until you acknowledge that fact, you aren’t speaking or even thinking honestly about the issue.” Characteristically excellent ⁦@CaitlinPacific⁩ https://t.co/ID8vwdJ4yD
