Yeah when we said we wanted flexible options for parents…. I don’t think we meant this.

I’m here for flexibility to bring a kid to work, but have the ppl who developed these rules ever met a baby?

Voted for a rapist AND thinks his daughters’ political leanings are a mental disorder. Gee hard to know why they’d be pissed at him.

I’ve had a similar thought about masks and how they’re pictured can scare people of masks, instead of the illnesses they can help prevent

Do these really not reduce mask efficacy? (They advertise that but wondering if anyone knows from someone not marketing them where there’s research showing that)

Am for this/obvi it’s more efficacious than not masking, but have been too nervous to try myself so I just… get hella dehydrated
