Finally joining to flee the sinking Twitter ship...
I study and teach about the history and archaeology of early medieval Europe and digital arts and humanities from Carleton College in the upper midwest US.

Maybe we should stop using the past tense for COVID and the future tense for climate change.

@StevenBeschloss -- It Has been a Long Slog, yes. If the news out of #Utah is true, things may be changing.
Deseret-Hinkley Poll of utah voters has tr*mp in 3rd of possible contenders for GOP nomination, more favor DeSantis, and Cheney than tr*mp. And according to The Hill the GOP Senators are mostly waiting to see if prosecutions will happen before they pick their horse.
@IPEdmonton We do talk about it. But, more importantly she is not isolated from the world and also sees for herself. She was regularly visiting an 85 y.o. who died of COVID, March 2020, so she knows it is real. She saw BLM activity and looting during short walks from our house. School over Zoom actually worked for her though she is very social. Some kids are very adult even if they tell silly jokes. She feels like adults feel, except not so traumatized as this is normal for her.
@IPEdmonton In her school, masking wearing is 50/50 or at least common and respected. We are fortunate she goes to a school like that. We have more issues with getting her to put on socks.

My first posting on mastodon but as I have no followers nobody is likely to see it.
I am a pencil artist based in the West Midlands and this is one I did recently just for a bit of fun and called it Emmy Emu..
@IPEdmonton Parenting is more about examples than talk. At age 7, she follows our example even if others at her school do not. Mom works at a hospital and removes scrubs when she gets home and has our daughter remove her uniform and change into home clothes just like her. She understands germs. We say it is for our safety and her safety.

Every GOP official, especially party leaders like Kevin McCarthy, should be asked, wherever they go, whenever they appear, whether they condemn Trump’s call for termination of “all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution” so that Trump can now be declared the winner.
They must utterly reject and walk away from this seditious, authoritarian madman. Now.

@fitterhappierAJ Just last Sunday on CBS, Dr. Fauci was saying that COVID is going to wane soon due to previous infections. So, another hypothesis of yours is about to be proven.
