Anyone else in healthcare just completely over morons arguing covid facts with you? I don't fucking care what you read on Facebook, your PHYSICIAN advises that you wear a fucking mask and stay away from people FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

I had a sex dream last night about a guy I went to HS with who I haven't seen (in person) in 25 years. We're friends on facebook, and we were pretty good friends back in HS. My confession? The man is smoking, SMOKING hot and given the actual opportunity, I might. Even though we're both married. LOL. Probably a good thing he lives five states away and probably isn't interested in me at all. But damn, he is some serious eye candy and also just an all-around good guy. Always has been. *sigh*

Am I right or am I wrong? DH and I have been married 31 years. His exW divorced him after 11 years of marriage (she left him for DH#2 of 4 but that’s a whole other story). They had two kids, who are now 40 and 43. They were divorced for 35 years before she died 3 years ago. The divorce was nasty, and her family bad-mouthed my now DH. Since she died her relatives have been reaching out to him. Several Facebook friend requests, one nephew stopped us at a store and wanted to shoot the bull, and this morning another nephew stopped because he saw DH in the yard. I see no point in having relationships with people who talked so badly of him. He says ‘they never did anything to me. They just believed her BS.’ And they still call him Uncle Joe, even though they haven’t seen him in all those years. I don’t want his ex’s family in my house, and he thinks I’m being silly. What say you? And no, I’m not jealous. I just think it’s odd.

Okay. So! I just had a facebook friend accuse me of causing racism by talking about it. What the actual fuck?

I started following Anonymous again on Twitter and their feed is so eye opening. They had a whole thread on how pernicious Facebook is and how it's been used as a weapon (with Facebook's approval) to target mentally fragile people with Qanon, WikiLeaks, etc. Whenever someone will comment on how crazy Qanon conspiracy nuts are, they always remind the op that these people were systematically targeted and fed lies. Our world is so incredibly fucked up.

I live in a huge master planned community with dozens of Facebook pages. They have been full of mask-wearing (or not wearing) and BLM drama for the last few weeks. I don't have time to engage, so I am just quietly keeping a list of everyone who spews hate, claims they have the right to not wear a mask - "and if you don't like it, stay home", the "ALL lives matter" folks, etc. A lot of them own small business in the area. Guess which businesses I'm never using? Guess who I'm never recommending to a friend? Guess who I'm never using as a vendor for my job? One of the more vocal (and I must say most offensive) folks owns a business with her husband that my company uses. Guess who gets to decide who we use for that service? Me. And guess whose very large contract will not be renewed? Theirs. And since I'm not online arguing with them 24/7, and I keep a very low social media profile, they have no idea who I am and will probably be shocked when we drop them. Karma.

I hadn't heard that, and having spent a good part of my childhood in Hawaii, I looked it up. I found two things: 1 - an Urban Dictionary entry for "boogaloo" - Civil war. Does not only pertain to war with the government but also to political sides. and 2 - a very sickening Facebook page. Urg

Our neighbor passed away recently, and due to COVID there will be no funeral. Because he owned a trucking company, a procession of trucks went by our house. DH and I stood on the front porch to show our respect, and about two minutes in I decided to video a minute of it. I told DH to be quiet because I was going to film it and he agreed, At :32 HE FARTED!! I fart, but usually nobody knows it. Why do men think the louder it is the better it is? And I am SO pissed at him! I’m tempted to post the video on Facebook but that would be disrespectful to our neighbor and his family.

I use Facebook for keeping up with my family and friends. If y'all are interested in participating in the revolution via social media, use Twitter. There's a reason so many political movements have started there. It's a whole other animal.

I'm so ashamed of my boomer dad's casual racism I deleted my Facebook account. He has zero privacy on his page so anyone can go there and see it. My least favourite right winger tactic is, "but what about..." you know the whole, but what about racism against cishet white men, what about Greta Thunberg using plastic, what about this murder, nobody rioted over this murder. It's just a blatant show of how weak their arguments are, deep down they know it and so they use distraction tactics until you're exhausted. I love to tell him whataboutism was a tool communist Russia used, but it goes over his head.
