What do exponential harm & exponential good look like? This👇🏼great graphic from @XTOTL & @SiouxsieW reminds us how our #TinyWiseDecisions can add up to more and more prevented infections.

This! If there's even a single minor modification you can make to your plans, do! Some ideas: * rapid test right beforehand * move outside * open windows * add an air purifier * reduce group size or event duration * require vax/booster * wear a mask as possible * skip one event
Risk is a spectrum, not an absolute. Whatever your plans are for this weekend, please consider at least making one change, any change, to reduce your risk. If we all take a little bit fewer risks, that can add up to helping keep everyone safer. #TinyWiseDecisions

Reporter- "if the people beside you at the airport haven't been practicing mitigation measures, how safe is holiday travel?" CDC director- "everyone has to assess their own personal risk" This is not a public health strategy

Not cool, @UPS. Our closing paperwork was overnighted Thursday for closing today and...it's still not here. It went from "out for delivery" on Friday to "on its way" today.

I am so sad about this. I’m not a movie-going fiend like @AEJohnson_21 but whenever I would go with him, ArcLight was my favorite theater. It’s such a civilized experience. So sad we won’t get a chance to go one more time before our immunity day.
ArcLight Cinemas, a beloved chain of movie theaters based in Los Angeles, will permanently close all its locations, Pacific Theatres announced Monday. nyti.ms/3mOnCHV

There is a toxic mix of bigotry and uncontrolled guns in this country and it’s past time that we had political leaders who stood up against both. Shame on those who don’t.

Vaccine “hesitancy” isn't the biggest challenge but making it convenient to get vaccinated. For too many people it's too hard to sign up, show up. People who work all day or care for families. We need to set up 24/7 clinics with no appointment needed for hard to reach communities

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but this whole Impeachment is really just a referendum on whether white supremacy should continue to be the organizing principle of The United States of America.

Am hoping my kid isn’t the only one who shows up at daycare saying, “Dammit!” tomorrow? 🤦🏻‍♀️ #SuperBowl
Hey @Drizly I have been trying to get in touch with your customer service team since Sunday about an order that was never delivered. Please help!
do the work and feed the kids and worry about the pandemic and the state of democracy and whether the kids are getting enough play time, school time, outside time, are we balanced, depressed, angry, are going to die, is democracy going to end, what should we watch tonight?
