My roommate has been going to work in construction, where a majority of his coworkers are conservatives and think that COVID is either a hoax, or overblown. His foreman has cancer, and still refuses to take precautions. He goes to work wearing a mask like this, and a faceshield, every day. Since he does so, he's been harassed and referenced as an "Antifa terrorist" for it. He just doesn't want to die, and doesn't want to put me at greater risk, while paying the bills. It's caused a lot of stress, and I worry for his sake.

I found this photo I took in April 2020 that I called "Quarantine Still Life." Enough time has passed that I feel sort of nostalgic for this time? A negative nostalgia? The pandemic was scary and bad, but this the changed lifestyle it caused was also strange and interesting. It wasn't QUITE dull and sluggish and brain killing yet.
