First Jab

On a personal and public health front, I got my first jab of the vaccine. Yay! I am surprised at how much getting the vaccine reminded me of voting. It is like a civic duty. The irony is that I live in the state of Georgia where the governor just made it easy for anyone over the age of 16 to get the vaccine while also making it extremely difficult for people to vote.

This week is Holy Week, but it is also the first week of the trial of Derrick Chauvin. There are people who are giving live commentary on TikTok and other social media but I can’t watch. It’s too much.
