So far, amazingly, nobody here in red-rural Oklahoma has had the balls to give me shit about wearing a mask yet. Which is a good thing, because on a whim I just looked up the current global butcher's bill based on excess death estimates. Probably I wouldn't speak my mind. I hope: "Why do I wear a mask? Because people who won't wear a mask to slow the spread of an airborne respiratory pandemic that's killed maybe eighteen million people around the world so far are murderous plague-rat ghouls. Why aren't YOU wearing a mask? Don't you care who you kill?"

My not-so-dirty not-a-secret: I am just about *entirely* without sympathy for everybody whose holiday travel plans recently got buttfucked by "the airlines". I'm not just unsympathetic, I'm like "you fucked around, you found out, what the hell did you expect? " #SorryNotSorry 1) Y'all had 3 years of pandemic to learn this: Airline travel is FUCKED on holidays now. They are understaffed. Their people all got laid off or died or quit or are presently out sick. Their new hires have no training. They can barely operate at normal capacity in good weather!
