Xenon's Return

If this fascist fuck tries to come for our neighbors and friends and community, what are we willing to do?

I believe these are questions that we all need to ask ourselves. And there are no wrong answers. I'm not saying anyone needs to do anything big or drastic; I'm just asking us all, myself included, what are we willing to do, what are we willing to risk, how can we resist - to protect each other, our friends and neighbors, our communities, the most vulnerable among us? It can be something as small as speaking up when you overhear someone expressing support for mass deportations or anti-trans orders. Any resistance of any size, no matter how small, is important and significant. And it's better to ask these questions of yourselves now than to be unprepared when the powers that be abuse their power. I'm asking us all to give it some thought.

Since making my last post about handwashing, I read the comments & tags and learned that many people believe handwashing is only necessary to remove visible dirt from our hands. This surprised me!

Handwashing is a vital component in preventing the spread of infections & disease! : )

Since it's come up again I will once again remind you that it's a good idea to make a habit of washing your hands with soap + warm water whenever you come home because hand sanitizer does not kill some unpleasant and dangerous germs like Norovius (as just one example).

You cannot rely on only washing your hands after you've been around someone visibly ill or touched something that looks dirty. Germs are microscopic and can exist on apparently clean surfaces. People can continue to shed Norovirus for weeks after they were sick, and Norovirus can survive on surfaces for as long as two weeks.

Imagine getting sick from someone a month after they've recovered because you both use the same doorknob! This is only one example of a highly contagious illness spread by germs which cannot be killed by hand sanitizer.

Please practice handwashing when you arrive home, before you prepare meals, before you eat, etc.! We cannot mitigate every risk, nor should we live in fear, but if you have access to soap and water, handwashing is a simple way to dramatically decrease risk of infection!

We live in a world where healthcare is largely out of our hands for many, maddening reasons. This is something you can do to protect yourself and others that is genuinely worthwhile.
