At the Risk of Endangering My Own Karma…

…I’m not going to voice what I hope happens to everyone in that crowd. But then, I don’t think I have to, do I?

Mask for Mask


While getting supplies at Safeway yesterday and noticing that only about half the people there were wearing face masks, I said to Ben, “You know how to get everyone wearing masks? Convince them it’s sexy.”

ESPECIALLY gay men. Make it the new look and they’ll mask up faster than a restroom hookup the basement of the Union Square Nieman-Marcus in 1992. (Oddly specific, I know, but just run with it, okay?)

Our next door neighbor/landlord made a couple of masks for us, and in addition I ordered several additional cute and sexy ones for the two of us last week, as I suspect masking up in public is going to become expected—if not required—especially if there’s a second or third surge in Coronavirus cases (as there undoubtedly will be because of the premature “opening” of the states) as the year progresses.

If I am forced to return to work sooner than what I feel is reasonable and prudent based on facts, not the bloviating gibberish coming out of the White House, I have already notified my supervisors that I will be masking and gloving up the entire time I am back in the workplace. They were all on board with that and said they’d be doing the same. While the gloves will protect you against the virus, the mask really doesn’t, but it does help lessen the chance you’ll infect someone else and it’s a good, constant reminder not to touch your face.

Those same supervisors have already let us know that regardless of what the state decrees as “open,” we are going to ease back in, probably going to a rotating schedule where we’re one or two days in the office and the remainder working from home. While there are some things we do that require a physical presence on site, we’ve proven that we can do the majority of our work from home, so why not integrate that into a new work paradigm?

Whatever He Says, Do The Opposite

And if you do have to go out (and let’s face it, we all do from time to time whether it’s to pick up supplies or just to relieve cabin fever), maintain social distancing (as difficult as it can be since no one else seems to be), and wear a fucking mask.

Fuck Trump

Let me be very clear here: We never had a “booming economy” if 80% of the population cannot afford to miss two paychecks.

At This Point…

…with everything else that’s going on in the world right now, if I stepped outside and saw this, my reaction would be, “Oh…



…that’s interesting.”

(I have no idea where these clips were pulled from, but it resonated with what’s going on these days.)

I Know…

…this is going to be a very unpopular opinion for bleeding heart liberals like myself, but after making a trip to the local Target for groceries today, I’m beginning to think that maybe the herd needs to be culled and humanity needs a purge after all.

Except for the store employees, myself and a very few others, no one was wearing masks. No one (including Target employees, who seem to insist on stocking the shelves when the store is busiest and blocking aisles in the process) was observing the 6-foot rule. I tried, but it seemed no matter where I stopped to look at my list or answer a text, some yahoo was standing next to me within a matter of seconds. And people were touching everything.

I asked three different employees the location of a particular item. I got three different responses, all incorrect. It was only when I opened up the Target app on my phone and searched myself did I find what I was looking for.

Like last weekend, the amount of Saturday traffic was near normal, indicating the people are not staying home except for essential trips out of the house. And it seems that during the four (six?) weeks of stay-at-home orders, most of the population has forgotten how to fucking drive.

If it takes a pandemic to rid the species of the willfully ignorant, then so be it. Let them congregate in their churches. Let them gather together on statehouse steps and scream that businesses be reopened. Hell, let Trump’s lickspittle Republican governors open their states and ensure that when a second wave of Corona hits in October, it will further reduce the number of  the Orange Baboon’s voters; his “very fine people.”

Everyone…

Everyone has tried to move something with their mind at least once in their lives.

C’mon…admit it.

It’s like we know instinctively we should be able to do this; like it’s written there in our software, but it’s as if the hardware wasn’t enabled.
