I’m still for Biden but this is troubling to say the least.
The chairman of Tyson Foods warns the food supply chain is breaking – Neoliberalism treats resiliency as waste, and Tyson is a chief culprit here. If you treat your employees like disposable components, you can’t keep up with an emergency.

Six years ago today was a weekend day and I went to the mall. Out and around people, not wearing a mask or gloves!
From my journal:
Shopped for sandals, stopped in at Apple Store, looked in at Microsoft store (an eerie clone of the Apple store but none of the computers on display connect to anything other than the Microsoft Store demo website and one of the computers was broken). I had a dirty soy chai latte, which a friend regularly drinks. It was very tasty.
While leaving the Apple store I walked into a glass wall, thinking it was a passageway, and bumped my head. Smooth!
I went grocery shopping yesterday. Plastic bag reuse has been suspended in California for the crisis. The cashier said she was glad about that. People bring in some disgusting bags for re-use, she said.
You’ll Probably Forget What It Was Like to Live Through a Pandemic — People who live through big historical events often forget details.
When all this handwashing began I was using a harsh soap that gave me a small rash on my left wrist. That means I have to wear my Apple Watch on my right wrist. That was weeks ago and I still haven’t gotten used to operating the Watch that way.
Completely unrelated: I’ve just learned I’ve been nominated for the Whiny Little Pandemic Bitch Award.

I went through a Southern Rock phase in college. I wore a cowboy hat. I was a pudgy Jew from Long Island. I looked ridiculous.
I still love the music tho. Sometimes I crank up the Outlaws' Ghost Riders in the Sky loud and listen to it like 18 times in in a row. AirPods have saved our marriage.

I suck at not touching my face but I think about not touching my face while I’m touching my face so that’s good right?
Dog, me and Julie were sitting on the couch just now. Dog looked at me and straight-up belched, sounding very human. Julie said she thought I’d done it. I don’t think she’s entirely convinced it wasn’t me.
Found Snapshots of a Secret 1960s Crossdressing Resort in the Catskills
By Amy Faith on Messy Nessy Chic:
“What struck me on that first day was the normalcy of the images, even if it was a studied illusion. Here were photos documenting everyday women, going about their everyday lives – except that these women were men who probably lived as truck drivers, accountants, or bank presidents during the week.”
Great photos and a hell of a story!
