After working 50hr weeks for 2 months it took 3 days of rest and naps to get my brain back to baseline. Ugh, 2 more weeks then I get to do 45hr weeks.
I miss having the energy to write. I miss having the energy to think.
Alright Monday, I'm ready for you.

This is bad. Atlanta is proposing a blanket ban on masks. (Sounds like healthcare workers & religious face coverings might be exempt)
There is no evidence mask bans reduce crime. But mask bans do increase disease spread, violate free expression rights, & are misused to stop & frisk people of color.
