Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Don't sleep on these school board races. They determine trans rights, school lunches, book bans, and history lessons.

It'll take less than 5 minutes to vote today, and it may determine whether children in your community eat three meals a day.
Pennsylvania is a state that has really diverse & high stakes, up and down the ballot tomorrow.

From the article:
Many public officials have over the years claimed or hoped that reinfections of COVID would be milder or carry less long-term risk in children. “But we found increased risks for a broad range of conditions, challenging the assumptions many had that children bounce back quickly,”
If you think the #COVID19 pandemic is done and ever-evolving variants pose no significant threat, consider these two realities, writes contributing editor Andrew Nikiforuk.
