Lockdown Update Day 307
3...2...1...zzzzz
And from cute cat to Attempted Coup!
I don't know how many of you realize this, but QAnon Shaman and his band of weirdos were 100% a distraction from the trained militia terrorists, who were not in costume. Please stop letting this furry neo-Nazi make you take what's happening less seriously. https://t.co/G9FF2qo2kS pic.twitter.com/JXlkBP9rEr

And a worrying post here (well, it basically confirms what we already know):
NY Times: They Used to Post Selfies. Now They’re Trying to Reverse the Election.
Right-wing influencers embraced extremist views, and Facebook rewarded them.
NEW: The FBI is investigating a claim that a PA woman who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6 stole a laptop from Speaker Pelosi's office and intended to sell it to the Russians.

Here are some of my favorite stories about Martin Luther King Jr. that you won't hear today from people who wanted to paint him as this adorable teddy bear and not the radical that he was.

A cat whisperer helping people with their cats psychological problems. If they had something called: Cat's From Heaven, it'll be something like me in a cat café.:)

Ahhh yes. I think it generally boils down to: play with your cat.

Some cats usually leave if they don't like their owner.
I was in a food court on my own today, having a coffee. Social distancing still require. While facemasks are mandatory on public transport only.*stops sounding like a statement*

Good point. Cats don't mess around!

I look forward to just being able to do things - in general, but also without all the disclaimers. ('We went to the park - it's OK, we're allowed!')

And sometimes they are just being curious and will find their way back. Just like mine did.
The rules vary from shop to shop. Some still have signs to have a facemask on. It's a weird feeling having to put it on or pull it down at certain places. Sometimes I feel like I'm going into surgery.*looks at your userpic*

<3 Curiosity is definitely a thing.

I found that icon waaaaay back when everything was starting. March, last year. And here we're still in lockdown so masks EVERYWHERE you go.

And satisfaction brought it back.
I can only assume my cat got lost because all the houses looked the same in my neighbourhood.
I went to the local shops today where there's more social distancing sticker signs and scanners for your phone to track peoples whereabouts. It's only a few wearing masks overall.

Awwwww. Poor thing.

Ah masks are mandatory (by law) in shops here. (Unless you are exempt.) No scanners though - every country seems to do things their own way.

Her first time wandering off. I didn't know what to do that would attract her back. Put her kitty litter box out? My brother tried searching for her the day she went.
Yeah. I keep track by my local government covid-19 restrictions website.
no subject
And yeah, keeping track is important. WHAT AM I ALLOWED TO DO?? (Answer: Not much.)
no subject
Yeah. We all have to hang in there.
