Went grocery shopping. Yes, the grocery store, that social barometer from which we judge our worth and freedom through purchase of consumables. A place where legends are made, where we saw the heroics of our grocery clerks under covid.
Almost everyone in the place was masked. Not me of course, and a few others.
It was pitiful to see children still being made to wear it. I walked by one little boy who saw my face, and I gently smiled. Hello there, this is what people look like.
Walking through Loblaws, it’s like an idiot poll. I’d estimate about 80% of the populace, or more. Some may do it out of peer pressure, like my elderly mother in law admitted.
You dont have to wear it Ethel, I told her. Fuck the cowards.

It’s fear, based on a lie, that keeps people from the freedom that they are entitled too.

We’ve had people in our office hired last winter, and I think I’ve seen their face maybe once until this week. It was so weird.

You don't realize how much you miss seeing other faces and smiles.....Where I am, most were happy to ditch the masks and seeing them is rare now. I've noticed people are friendlier, happier. More friendly chit-chat and banter at the grocery store and other places.
