Jessica the VI Artist🎚️🎹🌈<p>I’m going on my very first cruise in a week to celebrate my 40th birthday. I’m quite anxious because I don’t know what to expect, I want to try this experience, especially since my brother wants to share it with me, but I have a lot of conflicted feelings re: borders, movement of people, the environment, etc., etc. etc. I’m also a little afraid of getting sick so I got my latest Covid vaccination just today. Hope I am doing my part to keep society well ha ha ha. <a href="https://kind.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a></p>
