   As capitalism has been regarded as sacrosanct by governments in an ongoing global pandemic that is in fact a mass disabling event, I've in fact probably only strengthened my resolve in resisting eugenics, health supremacy, and ableism -- and speaking out about it all...and I have to say, the absolute attacks I've faced from family and friends in recent weeks has been rough. Years-long relationships have been irreparably destroyed as this position based on care has been seen as an issue by those ranting about "enjoying life" that's "back to normal" and that we apparently shouldn't be masking up. Ugh. So, thanks to all you principled #CovidCautious folks out there who have kept citing science and behaving accordingly as the #COVID19 pandemic continues. I really must make the effort to connect with more of you. For my sake, if not yours. Hi from #Sheffield. #CovidIsNotOver

     @MediaActivist Oh now I'm thinking about the times I visited Sheffield before Covid. Do have some Thorntons and ride the supertram for me (assuming either is feasible).

     I've disconnected mostly from my uk family who don't care about Covid. I'm sorry you're dealing with that

     @giflian Thank you so much, I'm sorry for your disconnection too - even if it's often right, it's not often easy. And last time I rode the Supertram was early in the pandemic (masked, of course!) but if I do I'll think of this post...and go grab some Thornton's!

     @MediaActivist I’ll put a list together in a couple of hours, just going to go for a drive. There are large Covid cautious zoom communities, and Mask bloc groups starting up in America and Canada. There may be bloc groups near you also (bloc group meaning outreach to distribute masks for free to needy communities, and support fellowships). ♥️

     @MediaActivist @TheRatCantRead AHH, SHEFF! The glorious land of Dev Green, Tramlines, Pete McKee, Thornbridge, Hendo’s, Bungalows & Bears, Toddla T, and 2 of the best football teams ever. I’m a bit biased, my bestie of 14 years is from there and lives there, and I’ve had the pleasure of spending part of my 40th birthday week there with her! I’m a Yank in Kansas City, but my heart is with Sheff!!

     @MediaActivist @TheRatCantRead GREAT to connect with you, too!! I’ve always got a bottle of Henderson’s in our fridge, bang out a bit of it on spag bol, nothing like it. I’ve got a large framed McKee piece that my friend gave me for my 40th, it’s called Manchester Legends, and it’s got Moz, Ian Brown, Noel Gallagher, and Guy Garvey. Moz and Ian Brown both broke my heart later on, Moz being a nationalist POS and Ian becoming pro-virus. 😩

     @jzed74 @TheRatCantRead Ahh, love it! Hendo's is wonderful. And yeah, I remember someone online recently explaining it as "love The Smiths; hate Morrissey" haha...but even that's tough! And Ian, yeah, that was too bad, as well, I got into him later on with F.E.A.R. and now he just fears science, it seems!

     @MediaActivist what would really help me "enjoy life" is not killing my immunocompromised spouse, so fuck me, right? what I want doesn't matter apparently

     @MediaActivist Hi from Kansas 👋 and right there with you. Keep up the good fight! I feel like everyone else has lost their minds. It's lonely and difficult. 😖😷
