Covid and kindness
I'm still seeing a fair number of people advocating for 'opening up' on the basis of either individual responsibility ('I'm vaccinated'), and/or fuck the lazy/selfish bastards ('never mind 90% vax rate, we can't wait'). Underlying this seems to be the idea that the vaccine will…

Why Can’t We Do More?
