The stories from anti-maskers are hard. I’m not sure I got an appreciation for where they’re coming from. Or maybe I just don’t care anymore. My wits are long gone…

The anger is a tough one. I’ve been called a Nazi and a sheep here in Michigan. It’s tiring. We should be better than this, but we’re not and I don’t have much hope for it changing.

Ellison! So lovely to see you here. Not easy or fun reading, but worth it.

But I’m so mad at anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers and conspiracy nuts that I wonder if I’d be too angry with parts of it. But I guess we have to read about how these folks are really causing havoc with society & think what to do … Grrrrr
Are we at our wit’s end yet … or will that come in Year 3?!

I would like to read this book, but maybe in a couple of years when I’m less frustrated or prone to anger? Hopefully I will get to that point? I’m thankful to live in a state w/ a high vaccination rate and in an area of that state (Minneapolis) where I would NEVER be harassed for wearing a mask. The selfishness our nation has shown is so embarrassing. This book sounds really well-done, though.

I’ve been hesitant to pick this one up but hope to put on my big girl panties and take the leap.
