Recap: December 28, 2021

If you're trying to burn down civilization, if you'd rather kill yourself and everyone around you, for a political stunt, then I've got nothing but contempt for you and yours.

You're an asshole and you deserve what you get.

You don't like that?

It makes you mad?

You want empathy and respect and concern for your wellbeing? That's a two-way street.

You first. Step up.

Stop being an asshole.

There are millions of us who stopped giving a fuck a long time ago. No pity, not even for the families. Nope.

This is a rant that I have been feeling for long time but was unable to articulate it as strongly as you did. Thank you.

A couple in their early 40's died of Covid. She was to get her 1st vaccination next week, he was still "researching".

The family have a Go Fund Me page for their children.

This time it is personal because I am fighting this battle with family members -mr pete is immunocompromised and we just can't put up with this stuff.

We have left the city and are in the mountains now. You can't even open our front door because there is 5 feet of snow & it's still coming.

We are going to attempt a path into the backyard after fortifying ourselves with hot chocolate and the christmas cookies WE WERE SAVING for family members. The cookies are ours now.
If you think I am heartless, I left them the turkey soup.

I personally think you should have taken the turkey soup also... you're going to need all the fortification you can muster 😷
