My husband & I flew from Nice to London today. As someone who is CEV under current "you do you" conditions where less than 5% masked, I watch & analyse everything to keep myself as safe as possible. Some things today though made me feel VERY unsafe. I'll summarise these below 1/
I was in row 11. Row 12 was an emergency exit. As a T1D, I'm unable to sit there for safety reasons. The law prevents me as in a situation I may need to remove the exit, I may be physically unable to as my body reacts to stress & adrenaline. Totally understandable 2/
Today in row 12, the emergency exit, all 4 passengers were continually coughing, catching their breath, 2 looked physically unwell & 1 was holding himself up as he left the aircraft dragging himself along holding onto walls walking along the terminal. I suspect they had Covid 3/
The silly season has officially started, I’ve been called a “groomer” by a GOP troll. I don’t believe this rhetoric is silly, it’s dangerous. When you literally can’t debate the issues because the majority of Tennesseans on both sides of the aisle agree with me-you tell lies. 
You resort to lies, meanness and filth. I’m not surprised, I’m saddened, this is not my fathers GOP. Even those ashamed of the extremists in the party are complicit because they won’t stand up against this trash. And the TN GOP are the ones protecting an admitted child molester.
There are 2 kinds of cowards—bullies and those who do nothing to stop them-this is almost the entirety of today’s GOP. They have no policy to offer TN families, just hate legislation and bills to cater to billionaire special interests who fund their campaigns.

Ten years ago this week my first children's book "Greetings from Kiwi and Pear" was published. I was also drowning deep in credit card debt that was spiraling out of control.
Most of it accumulated after launching a stationery & gift business in 2003 & quitting my day job shortly after. By 2009, my products were sold in 100's of stores nationwide, I rented office space to house inventory and hire help, and I was doing tradeshows all over the country.
