That’s literally it: fewer lockdowns, closures, and stay-at-home orders, often due to political pressure.
But COVID-19 is still here. It’s still contagious. People are still getting it. People are still dying from it. Just because it’s not as prominent in the news does not mean that this 2020 story arc has concluded!
Please
Wash your hands
Continue social distancing
Wear a face mask
Protect high-risk and vulnerable people
Self-isolate if sick, quarantine if exposed
Help flatten the curve and contain the outbreaks

Heather Cameron had recently turned 28 years old when she mysteriously vanished on August 18th, 2012. She was last seen in the company of her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lusby. Heather told her family that she and Daniel were headed to Keswick Dam, a remote area located 20 minutes outside of Redding, California. Around 2:50pm that day, Heather called 911 three times from Daniel’s phone from the Keswick Dam area. She told police that she had been drugged with heroin and needed assistance. An extensive search was launched in that area, but no signs of Heather or any sort of suspicious activity were found.
Daniel Lusby has been formally interviewed numerous times since Heather’s disappearance, but has still not been charged with anything related to the case. When investigators asked why Heather had called 911 from his phone, Daniel told them that she took his phone from him, walked off, and never returned. That phone has never been recovered. Police still consider Daniel to be the primary person of interest in Heather’s disappearance. According to Shasta County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Brian Jackson, “he is still a person of interest and this case is still open..there is still information we are trying to corroborate.”
Heather’s family acknowledges that Heather struggled with substance abuse; however they do not believe she is voluntarily missing. She left behind four children who she always made time to see prior to vanishing, and her family does not believe she would abandon them. Daniel, on the other hand, has an extensive criminal record and was allegedly abusive towards Heather throughout their relationship.
Heather’s family are also Grand Ronde Tribal members. They believe that domestic violence played a role in Heather’s disappearance and are hoping to raise awareness about domestic violence against Native American women. A report from May 2016 states that 84% of Native American women have experience violence in their lifetime, including sexual, physical, stalking and psychological aggression.

Additionally, there is a $5000 reward for any person with information that leads to solving Heather’s disappearance. If you have any information that could help, please contact the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department at 530-245-6025. [x]

4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death
