Thank you thank you for all the information! It's so kind of you to put all this together and for free and it's very much appreciated! Do you think that panic buying will become a thing again? Like in the early months of 2020?

you’re so welcome ! I def think so, the majority of the country learned nothing from the last lockdown and I wouldn’t be shocked if feelings surrounding this current administration make folks think they need to stock up now more than ever.

I also think the folks who have been taking precautions seriously since 2020 won’t feel this compulsion at all and will start to get more involved with building long lasting networks of community survival and autonomy. the impulse to panic buy won’t be there if everyone pools resources and skills yknow? Ty for reading 😸

That makes alot of sense. I've been masking ever since 2020 (stopped briefly in 2023 but have since picked up again) and I wonder if it might still be a good idea to grab some extra masks, lysol, and hand sanitizer for myself, roommates, neighbors and coworkers. Not to hoard of course but to make sure everyone has access to these valuable resources. Pooling resources. Community like you said. The only way we get through this is together after all! Do you happen to know of any reliable ways to make at home hand sanatizer? I've been looking online but I'll be honest alot of the recipes look a little sus.

oooh see I know I have a video of how to make hand sanitizer at home or something similar buried in my TikTok bookmarks. I'll have to dig but this is a really good prompt for a DIY medical/survival masterlist of sorts. If you're on desktop there's a tab on my page called 'Life Support Library' if you scroll there might be pdfs that describe how do this in an emergency. but maybe I'm hallucinating LMAO. regardless I will look into it for either a newsletter or article :) def a good idea to stock up at Costco esp with this tariff fiasco

Eugh I don’t want to travel right now.

I take your guys precautions seriously. I have to travel for wedding festivities in late August until mid October.

I can either make 2 visits or stay during. But I’m scared bc I’m coming from TX aka the CW pop off 🧍🏾‍♀️to Cali. My last travel commitment 🤞🏾

I let bride/cousin know my concerns and she understands. But idk cause I feel anything can happen and I don’t want to be stuck somewhere else esp with the transits/timeline of travel 😮‍💨
