When my brother & I were kids we got walkie talkies for Xmas. Imagine all the cool shit kids could do with walkie talkies!

Did we do any of it?

No. We took turns sitting in the car & giving pretend drive thru orders to the other in the garage.

Yes we were some trash children🗑️

Are we suffering from benevolence debt?

As a Covid-Conscious person, your choice to continue with masking and mitigations is part of the legacy you're building.

It matters more than you'll ever know.

A Little Gold Dog, A Not-So-Little Legacy

There’s a little figurine of a dog I keep on a shelf in my home. It’s painted gold, mounted on a weighted piece of wood, and has an embedded metal hook. I assume it’s to hold a leash, since it came w...

When you speak truth to power it really irritates the shit out of some people, that’s why they call you an enema of the state

Stranger: Why you wearing a mask
Me: Covid, it disables and kills
Stranger: NOT ME!!! I should have the right to decide for myself if I want to risk it
Me: I agree
Stranger: What
Me: You should have the right to decide for yourself
Stranger: Cool
Me: But not for everyone else, especially NOT ME!!!

"Don't take the Lord's name in vain!"

Honey, you take the Lord's name in vain every time you call yourself a Christian, then refuse to act like one.

Agree. I wish the rest of the world saw it that way, but I'm thankful for those of us who can see all that is beautiful in the face of our grim reality.

Now all of us are pretty things
And all we had to do
Was sell our souls to vanity
(My dear, we sold yours too)

And soon we'll lose our conscience
As it's hanging by a string
In the frontal lobe, with interest paid
To be such pretty things. (5/5)

Guiness Pig @guinesspig.bsky.social · 9d

And sure, a mask can stop the spread
But the truth is going to sting
The world loves pretty things, my dear
The world loves pretty things

The thing about these pretty things
It’s funny, but it’s true
It’s not enough to have them
People want to be them, too (4/5)

Guiness Pig @guinesspig.bsky.social · 9d

It’s just that it’s an eyesore
(even if the air is clean)
I hope I’ve schooled you well, my dear
The world loves pretty things

A mask can really salt the vibes
We all want to forget
The world lost seven million lives
We’ve not stopped counting yet (3/5)
