I still wear a mask because I stand in soldiartiy with folks like you.

Not only do I want to prevent the spread of the disease that could kill immune compromised folks like yourself, but it also helps normalize mask wearing.

Sincerely and from the bottom of my immunosuppressed heart: thank you.

Seriously thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ooh spoilering emotes until that bug gets fixed is a good idea.

That's what it means! I thought it was because it's so potentially emotional. Like, brace yourself, here's the warmest hug ever.

Thank you. I genuinely appreciate you and others who do this. ❤️
