The world sucks and things are bad but hey, you know what you can do right now to make things easier on yourself and others? Wear a face mask. We have to be alive to fight back.
Tired of seeing people despair about how they wish they could do something, literally anything to make things better- but they won't mask to save their life or others. Like, it's literally right there. It's such an easy thing that makes SUCH a difference. It can SAVE lives.
It's hypocrisy through and through. People are only interested in doing something if it means they don't have to put in too much effort or inconvenience themselves. It's lip service. It's not serious.
Someone I respect scrambled for a mask in a poorly ventilated building when she saw me wearing one, saying “even though they don’t work, it’s the symbolism, right?” I replied “they do work”. Her follow up: “only to protect other people and I’m not infected”. Good people acting on bad information.
