You’re a silly little goose if you’re upset over seeing me wear a mask! I had someone’s breath & bodily secretions all over me (drowning is messy!) I don’t know what I’m carrying.
You’re especially ghoulish if you don’t wear a mask in hospitals such as the one I just exited 🙄

Just an FYI, if I tweet about politics (or anything really) that you disagree with you’re welcome to disagree with me, and say you do, respectfully.
BUT if you call me a dumb b**** (as recently happened) or any other slur I will block you faster than the ISS orbits.

It’s baffling how many people who follow me on Twitter/FB/Insta/etc. get really upset when I celebrate the accomplishments of other women.
