Jess, maybe [link] can provide some way you could do something? I hear you on the distraction of work. Even while the normality and mundanity of work is super fucking weird right now

Thanks for that, I'll share it with the rest of the team.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, Jess.
I am at work but my productivity is for shit.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm paying attention to FB mostly because my great nephew's wife is probably giving birth today, making my sister a great-grandmother. She's been begging to be induced for weeks and apparently the doctor gave in today. They are supposedly trying a couple other things first, but she is in the hospital.
So I've been watching my about to be a grandmother niece's page, and she's talking about supervolcano activity. Because we are just running short on that list of crises.

The bright spot in all of this is that, while a crisis reveals who people are, sometimes "who they are" surprises you in a good way. Remember, there have been multiple law enforcement groups engaging with protestors and de-escalating. The county sheriff here in SA met with protestors, marched with them a ways, and promised the right to assembly would be protected.
Big tech companies making press releases may not be as substantive as we'd like, but even that much shows which way they think the wind is blowing.

Good choice, msbelle
We just got a curfew, so far just for tonight. The wording is trying pretty hard to say it's because of looting and not because of protests.
I wonder if this is going to disrupt our warehouse swing shift. Actually I think we have 3 shifts going. well, it does say people "going to work" are exempt, hopefully being indoors at work is ok also...

I'm working on sewing some masks for protestors, either here tomorrow or for someone to bring up to Columbus over the weekend. It's not much, but it's what I can do.
