Readers, I’ll cut to the chase: Everybody else is having fun with this western Massachusetts lesbian bar story, so why can’t I? By now you may have acquainted yourself with the most wonderfully viral article of the season, written by the Boston Globe: about the hilariously woke travails of a small-town bar. (The piece is paywalled, but the Globe is currently offering readers a deal of $1 for the rest of the year, so huck ’em a buck and enjoy the article blow by spectacular blow.)
But to summarize: Back in 2020, the Last Ditch, a tiny lesbian activist bar (with the sort of clientele to match) in the western Massachusetts town of Greenfield, mandated that all patrons wear an N95 mask during the Covid lockdown era of early 2020. Six years later, on August 31, they announced they would be going mask-optional — for one night per week. (“It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional.”)
