#isolation

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

People ask me why I still mask. They accuse me of being 'fearful of living.'

No, masks is what allows me to live. Do not mistake this medical tool for fear. Do not give in to the fascist lies that masking does nothing. A properly fitted mask can and has saved lives. It's a tool in our toolbox.

Some people tell me that masking isolates them. I understand -- I too am isolated, but the truth of it?

#armut #isolation

Arme sind halt oft nur Zuschauende beim Leben anderer. Für viel mehr als grundsätzliches reicht es selten, besonders bei Familien mit Kindern.

I'm reading through it again, and I really like how SE-0461 handles the `#isolation` macro.

This macro captures static isolation. Today, you rarely need to do that. And the most common use is to do exactly the thing this proposal will make unnecessary. But it's still cool how it all just comes together.

The State Dept is overhauling the govt’s diplomatic footprint: 10 embassies & 17 consulates would be shuttered, including Eritrea, Luxembourg, S Sudan & Malta -all folded into embassies in nearby countries.

Proposed consulate closures: France: Lyon, Rennes, Bordeaux, Strasbourg & Marseille, Germany: Düsseldorf & Leipzig +SC: Edinburgh, IT: Florence, & in CAN: Montreal & Halifax: downsized.
