If I could make a plea for BlueSky, it’s this: Please make a point of sharing links to articles, essays and more that you LOVE, that you enjoyed, that expanded you in some way. I’m always surprised by the dominance of hate-shares, complaint shares on here. And I think it has a riptide effect.

Thanks for being gracious: I know you're well aware. My heart's broken seeing many of those I trusted most completely compartmentalize that aspect, so I was thinking of how to extend your analogy for those convos. I appreciate you using your platform to keep talking about COVID, it's truly helpful.

Useful metaphor for layered protections, but my risk assessments aren’t just about my own health (moisture tolerance.)

I don't drive, so I hired movers to transport my stuff when I moved from Providence to Philly. Before I even asked, my bestie offered to drive down from Western MA, load all my plants in her van & deliver my cat & I to our new home. Huge favor, but her sincere willingness made it easy to accept.

My coping strategy in a single image. Description: line drawing of a person on a sidewalk with the caption "Taking walks can reduce your sense of impending doom. Try to walk 24 hours a day if possible!"
