FYI I have my Twitter set up so that I don't see or get notifications of responses from Non-mutuals. The downside is it takes me longer to see GOOD comments, but I do this because of the absolute abuse people engage in. So, if you're a mutual, please ignore shitty responses.

He texts her and said. "I'm sorry. I don't remember you being that big." Meaning he came in, saw her, and left. Another diner paid for her salad. And she ate it and cried, and sat in her car and cried. And made her video and cried, and said she was done trying to date.

A quote among medical professionals: "There is no emergency in a pandemic." You need to survive. You cannot help anyone if you're dead. Rude is right: they've convinced us that our worth is based on our productivity. It's not. You just need to survive. Sort it out later.

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IN A PANDEMIC IS SURVIVE. You're not supposed to be worried about doing your best or being the most productive at a time when death is at the door. This is how capitalism gets you, it convinces you you're a failure for not being a machine.
