I got a message today from an artist on Etsy because her shop got a real boost when I posted some of her stuff, so I want to do a thread of my favorite Etsy artists who make cat stuff!

I deal with people (both in journalism and out of it) who insist on treating these as two separate, disparate issues, and it's unnerving every time.

Like, I know WHY they want to treat it that way, but sorry fam, that ain't it.

Mask Mandates Have Kept One Cancer Center Free From COVID-19. Others Have Lifted Masking Requirement... Some cancer centers have lifted mask mandates that were intended to protect patients from COVID-19, despite patient concerns.
