I just went to Whole Foods (hopefully for the last time in quite a while.) everyone there was wearing a mask (customers and employees) fear of shame be damned.

I just went to Whole Foods (hopefully for the last time in quite a while.) everyone there was wearing a mask (customers and employees) fear of shame be damned. Also hearing “Shiny Happy People” while everyone is literally up to their eyeballs in PPE afraid to be near each other is a weird experience.

"Shiny Happy People" might be more appropriate than it seems. Many consider the song to be an imitation of dystopian propaganda.

  That's funny, considering: >“It’s a fruity pop song written for children. It just is what it is”, Michael Stipe told the BBC’s Andrew Marr in 2016.

    Artists don't always accurately describe what their works mean. John Lennon insisted that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" has nothing to do with LSD :)

> fear of shame be damned I hope that starts to become more socially accepted now. The thing that's always stopped me from wearing my mask as early as February was all the news reports of people being assaulted for wearing a mask on a subway. Like no good deed goes unpunished.
