Yeehaw! Bees!

The COVID-19 virus has not changed

Your immune system has not changed

There is no vaccine

There is no cure

What’s Different?

Fewer government-directed restrictions

That’s literally it: fewer lockdowns, closures, and stay-at-home orders, often due to political pressure.

But COVID-19 is still here. It’s still contagious. People are still getting it. People are still dying from it. Just because it’s not as prominent in the news does not mean that this 2020 story arc has concluded!

Please

Wash your hands

Continue social distancing

Wear a face mask

Protect high-risk and vulnerable people

Self-isolate if sick, quarantine if exposed

Help flatten the curve and contain the outbreaks

It’s important to point out that protesting generally hasn’t been made a felony, but rather the camping that the protestors are doing (and the legislation also includes other things to discourage protesting).

This is still really bad though, because the right to peaceful protest is protected in the Constitution, and even if protesting isn’t outlawed outright the government is still criminalizing an act of peaceful protest just because it’s a protest.

Furthermore:

According to tn.gov felons in Tennessee lose their right to vote. This is called Felony Disenfranchisement

So this means that the Tennessee government just passed legislation that would render the protestors unable to vote.

I’m sorry lemme repeat that again

A song that reminds you of your childhood

A song to sleep to

A song that your best friend loves

A song that hypes you the fuck up

A song you like to daydream to

A song that’s on at least 3 of your playlists

A song that you love from a genre you don’t usually like

A song that you liked when you where 10 that still slaps

A song that makes you want to go on an adventure

A song you’d want to dance with your partner to ( or future partner )

A song to stomp around and pout to

A song to listen to whilst you lie in a meadow

A song that reflects your views on love

A song to sing to the sun

A song you like that sounds like its on the soundtrack to an indie coming of age film

A song that you like that romanticises being a teenager

A song that makes you want to grab your friends jump up and down dancing and screaming the lyrics

A song that you like that the lyrics are just so beautiful they’re practically poetry

A song that you can imagine listening to in an abandoned church ( if it isn’t hozier im judging you, but whatever )

A song from the soundtrack of a film that you like so much after the film finished you immediately looked for it

A song for when the sun has gone down and you are feeling absolutely buck-wild with exhilaration!

A song that makes you feel like you’re strolling through Ancient Greece living your best life

A song that when you listen to it you’re transported to a liminal space, time is pointless and you must sit and wallow in the void that remains
