“Average American throws away 60lbs of clothing a year” “most people only wash an item of clothing ten times before it falls apart” ok how much of this is unsold clothing getting tossed throwing off the statistics? And if it’s not, What are you guys doing to your clothes. I still wear $13 shirts I bought in 2013.
Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work.
worst thing people did was turn the incredibly personal experience of being lgbt into strict definitions and rules and then ridicule and harass others who don’t fit into their neat boxes, as if that isn’t what we were trying to run away from this whole time.

We wear our masks in public for three reasons:
1. Humility: I don’t know if I have COVID, as people can spread the disease before they have symptoms.
2. Kindness: I don’t know if the person nearby has a child battling cancer, or cares for their elderly mom. While I might be fine, they might not.
3: Community: I want my community to thrive, businesses to stay open, employees to stay healthy. Keeping a lid on COVID helps us all!!

7. If it’s cold out, it keeps your face warm
7.a) keeping your nose warm now has scientific evidence backing up that a warm nose = stronger resistance to airborn viruses/etc.
so not only does a mask reduce the shit u put into the air, it actually *does* keep you personally more safe in a different but equally true way.
