@ArkieMiasma I’m so sorry 💔 I grew up in rural Arkansas and I’m touched that he cared so much for those kids. And it’s so angering that we could have done (& could still do) better protecting our teachers & kids and we don’t.
@sensorystories_ My mom used to trim my hair and since she died, I’ve done it myself. Partly because I’m cheap and have very simple haircut needs, but also because I feel so weird trusting a stranger to touch me and my hair.
@Arkansas_Honey All those actual small towns she would have to drive through on 2-lane roads behind a chicken truck… she might have to have an authentic Arkansas experience
Maybe they’re afraid if they admit that we could save vulnerable people by all taking a few more simple precautions, they’ll have to start paying for stuff again.
Is this supposed to be reassuring? Are we supposed to not care about the vulnerable? Do public health folks understand that there’s a middle ground between “Everything’s fine” and Utter Panic, and it’s caution & empathy?
