In late 2016 and early 2017, "this is not normal" was a mantra among my friends and neighbors. It was inoculation against gaslighting, a reminder that other people had the same concerns as us about the direction of our government.
We need no such reminder now. It's obviously not normal to wear a mask when grocery shopping, or to wear one pair of socks per week, or to work evenings and weekends (obviously, it is for some people, but hasn't been normal for me in a very long time), or finish my World of Warcraft weekly chores in four days, to have a swing in the door frame between the kitchen and dining room.
