Two weeks ago you could’ve been woken up at 2am & taken to quarantine if your swab was in a test tube w/ another pos+ case. Since Monday, 25% of our students & staff have gotten COVID. We’re entering a stage the rest of the world hit 2.5 years ago. The policy whiplash is insane.

Marilyn Manson, Harry Potter books, renting Dirty Dancing when Netflix still delivered DVDs in the mail. Most of my sneaking was staying in internet chat rooms with strangers past "curfew." Internet shut off at 10pm but wouldn't kick me out of chat sessions I was already in.

I created a second account years ago for content related to a kpop boyband that I love (y'all know the one) and I don't always notice when I accidentally RT something to this account instead, but I think I need to figure out why I feel so mortified each time it happens.
