I'm having a really, really hard time. Some of my family members are going to an anti-lockdown protest today -- including my extremely pregnant sister. It's been a challenge coming to terms with this over the last year... seeing the people who raised you and who you grew up with have their true colors, hypocrisy, ignorance and selfishness come to the surface. Don't know where I go from here.

Don't know where I go from here. I know exactly what you were saying. All of that really came to a head for me on 1/6 when my parents were talking about a new election fraud conspiracy about someone in Italy testifying about Dominion instead of the riot going on at the Capitol. I had to keep telling myself that nothing had really changed and that those impulses (anti-establishment, anti-mainstream, paranoid, populist, nationalist) that were present in the people around me growing up were already there and people like Trump just organized them into a political force. I still love them but yeah, those were rough times. I couldn't process how they weren't deeply shaken and disturbed by that event. Hoping your family stays safe. Thankfully COVID cases have been down.

This wouldn’t be a problem if we just defund the police

WOO! Possibly the most important and best decision he’s made thus far during his presidency. This is massive.

Officially have my vaccine booked for tomorrow at 4:30! Got in a bit earlier than expected since the pharmacy near me has open spots. Can’t wait. Never thought Alberta would become the first province to open up vaccine appointments for everyone.

I'm not allowed to go to my sister's baby shower because I've been vaccinated.

I was so irritated I had a typo. But yeah, things are really, really strained right now. The handful of times I've seen my parents over the last year they won't wear masks and now they think I'm being tracked by the government due to the vaccine. They all support anti-lockdown protests and donate to churches who keep getting fined for not following occupancy rules. The only thing we can agree on is that covid blows and the government is doing a terrible job -- but maybe take a step back and revaluate your life. They ALL get to work from home or stay home and not work at all... so over this bullshit. It's cool I guess I never get to see my sister again or meet my nephew. Whatever.

The upside of this pandemic for me was the full revelation of the assholes and the selfish. I work retail and while I love my job, I've never seen more disgusting people in my life. Truly oblivious of their nastiness, stupidity, and selfishness.

Despite it being a bit of a slow rollout here, just found out that I'm eligible to get vaccinated because I live with a healthcare worker

Me, my sister and my mother got vaccinated today without any issues. My father already got the two dosages. Felt a bit numb in my left arm but otherwise I'm feeling completely fine as of now. Gonna take some time before I get the second dosage.

Got my second dose last night and feeling great. Theaters may open in three weeks which is great timing, but I'm not holding my breath because my region and province fucking sucks. My city has the highest numbers in Ontario and we're the only ones not moving onto the next re-opening stage.

Got my second dose on Tuesday, and it had me down bad last night. Thankfully, all the side effects are pretty much gone now.

I’m all double dosed up baby. No side effects so far (20 hours in), just a sore shoulder which is all I had after the first dose.
Alberta is lifting all restrictions (but a select few like masks on public transit) tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes.
