I just love living in West Michigan where a lot of people think like this. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/14/us/michigan-sheriff-militias/index.html

The Politics Thread
I live in a very conservative town in Michigan and it's scary to see that some people are CONDONING the militia that plotted to kidnap Whitmer. I'm already hearing a whole lot of, "Well she asked for it by being a bad governor." (She's a "bad" governor because she wants people to wear masks.) Other comments I've heard are, "She has pushed these people to the edge, what else are they supposed to do?" Others are just calling it fake news put out by the liberal media. 🙄

My Trump-obsessed coworker says the polls are fake and if Biden wins it will only because of fraudulent mail-in ballots (yet he says the results will be legit if Trump wins). I wonder what it's like to live in an alternate reality like that.

I cannot wait for this man to be out of office. Telling people that Covid is nothing to be afraid of is flat out DANGEROUS. I work at a hospital and am around Covid patients every day. These people are sick. They don't have the luxury of being tested every day and catching it early. They only get tested once they are symptomatic and have to wait sometimes days for results. They don't get to be admitted to the hospital as a "precaution." They only get admitted once they're sick enough to warrant it. They don't get experimental drugs. They don't have an entire medical team dedicated solely to providing them 24/7 care. Some of them die. Some of them say their goodbyes to their family through an iPad. They're not going out for SUV rides while crowds of people cheer them on. Trump has no idea what Covid is like for the average person. He has learned nothing. He must go.

Perhaps Trump will inject himself with bleach to expedite his recovery.

Why don't these people just do curbside pickup so they don't have to wear a mask inside the store? I swear these anti-maskers have zero brain cells.

It frustrates me to see how many people don't seem to understand how gloves work. I keep seeing people at the store who wear gloves, touch the cart, touch everything on the shelves, and then touch their face, but they think they're protected because they're wearing gloves. Like no. Gloves don't magically kill the germs on whatever your touching. They're just as dirty as your hands unless you change them every time you touch something.

Nope, at least not at the hospital system I work for.

I work in a hospital and right now we're provided with one surgical mask that we wear until it is "saturated with blood or other bodily fluids" (that is the wording on our policy). We keep wearing the same mask even if we wore it into the room of a Covid-positive patient. We're required to wear the mask for our entire shift too (not just when with patients), so it's just nasty by the end of the day, much less by the end of the week. We have a few pairs of goggles for the whole hospital. I think we're supposed to be getting face shields that Ford is producing. I don't think we've had an issue with gloves yet, and our gowns are washable so I think we're okay there. We're using hand sanitizer that was produced and donated by a local company because we're out otherwise. Saw a news story today that nurses from Kalamazoo, MI are being forced to go work with Covid patients in Detroit. They get an extra $2 an hour for doing this and PPE is not guaranteed. So glad to see these nurses getting such a great incentive for the work they're doing. 🙄 https://www.woodtv.com/health/coronavirus/rep-kzoo-nurses-very-upset-over-forced-move-to-detroit/

I work at a hospital in Michigan. We desperately need PPE. Each employee gets one surgical mask - not one mask per patient or per day - just one mask. We wear it into every patient's room for days or weeks until it gets soaked with bodily fluids. Under normal circumstances, we'd get a new mask every time we enter a patient's room. We're out of our normal hand sanitizer and have started using sanitizer that Amway made this week for the sole purpose of donating it to hospitals. We're also almost out of cleaning wipes. The numbers keep growing, so the shortages are only going to get worse in the coming weeks.

For real. I work at a hospital and we're reaching out to churches to see if anyone wants to sew masks for us.

Degrassi: The Next Generation
Just finished the season. I'm glad that Lola's abortion is something that can actually be acknowledged and discussed on the show, whereas with Manny's it happened and then was never spoken of again. Maya's story was actually pretty good, but I never needed to see her sister again. Zoe's mom... what a bitch! Zoe and Rasha are cute, and I'm glad Goldi got fleshed out a little more.

Degrassi: The Next Generation
I'm liking Maya's lack of airtime so far, lol. Those pictures of her in the hospital bed were creepy as hell. Hunter's hair is awful. The stuff with him and his friends measuring their penises was awkward. I don't remember Esme and Zig becoming a couple at all, I was very confused when I saw them kissing in the opening credits. She exists for no reason other than to start sh!t. I've never liked Mr. Perino.

At this point Kanye running doesn't even seem silly anymore. I mean why not? I'm so embarrassed.

Can't wait for the next election. Donald Trump vs Kanye West. What a joke.

Hopefully this time will work better than all the random ways they tried to keep Peter around in the past.

Degrassi: The Next Generation
Oh, thanks! I didn't recognize him for some reason. I also wasn't expecting it to be someone so recent, so I figured he had to be a bit player from the days of Paige/Spinner/Marco/etc or something. The seasons with characters like Mo, Marisol and Katie were probably my least favorite, so I guess that explains why I didn't remember him.

Who's the guy at 10 seconds? I've seen every episode of TNG and I can't for the life of me remember who he is?

Where in the world can I watch that Degrassi retrospective thing? I can't find it anywhere.
