A whole year has passed, and I don't know how all of this happened, and I still can't understand what's happening, and my mind always refuses to comprehend it all. I'm very sad, and the sadness has exceeded my heart's comprehension. This is all I know.

Wearing a mask doesn’t just save lives, it’s now become a symbol of defiance that says, Nope, I’m not going to let you disable or kill me with your unmasked denial of a still ongoing deadly pandemic, your denial of your own vulnerability within it, or your utter indifference to mine. ✊😷

Shipping companies made more profits between 2020 to 2023 than they previously made in total since 1957, when containerization started. WHAT.
