Shout-out to the other neurodivergents who use parentheses too much (to add context to make sure nothing is misunderstood) (because parentheses clarify our directness) (I hope this tweet makes sense).
ADHD is thinking about all the things you have to do, getting stressed about all the things, worrying about the consequences of not doing the things, but still feeling stuck and unable to do any of the things.
It's staggering how many folks blame people's suffering on moral failings, instead of policy choices. Like working two jobs and still living in poverty means you're a "bad" person, rather than the truth —— that we live in a broken society.

Never forget that we just saw protestors carrying a noose threatening the Prime Minister & the police did nothing. But @CarymaRules literally had an invitation to a Doug Ford rally & the police arrested her. How can you tell me this is not a problem? How?

There is no stat holiday for Ramadan. No official holiday day for Passover. No official holiday day for Vaisakhi. No official holiday day for Lunar New Year. No official holiday day for Nowruz. No official holiday for Kwanzaa. So why do have three holiday days for Easter?
Pandemics do not just end simply because people say they've had enough. This individualistic public health approach is leading us straight into a 6th wave where once again, those made vulnerable by society will be disproportionately affected.
You're worried about the inconvenience of wearing a mask, while people who are immunocompromised are worried about dying from COVID. It's not the same thing.
