Muddling our way through a plague. Trying out this truck stop on the information superhighway.

Honestly loving the “y’all masking” threads on Twitter but am (rightly) freaked about posting any photos or anything there because….it is a bog of eternal stench :-/

Her nickname is “the worst” as in “who is the worst dog?” (Followed shortly by cuddles & smooches)

I think that’s the narrative, but the WHO & CDC still have messaging that there is still a high risk of persistent symptoms. At this point even if we eradicate deaths & long covid there are still millions of people domestically & potentially over a billion globally: hbr.org/2024/05/long...

My spouse thought I had cleverly photoshopped the dog’s legs out but that just how this doofus had arranged her body

Yes - got it after the dog’s paw was injured as a puppy. A year later she was hit by a car and after $15,000 worth of surgery and rehab we are unbelievably lucky we already had it in place. Worth every penny. Saved us about $12k that awful year.

Realized my dog wasn’t lethargic, she just wanted to play with a different ball (maybe could have done that before the $200 vet visit, but I’m glad I figured it out and she’s happy)

“Is it technically fascism?” “Is it technically rape?” “Is it technically genocide?” Remarkable the smug ease with which so many people have replaced moral inquiries with semantic ones.

I’m really glad you are digging into Covid as a topic as the virus has been downplayed over the past few years due to the urgency to get “back to normal”. Keeping up with the latest studies is pretty alarming and I’m really curious about your POV since most folks checked out

It’s maddening! These are wholly reasonable precautions! Not wanting to dine indoors with strangers is not life altering. What a mess the abdication of public heath has turned our lives into.

Weird how they keep using “anxiety” in place of “reasonable fear of catching an airborne illness and worsening an already debilitating condition” like the goal is for the husband to stop protecting himself in a world where CLEARLY NO ONE FUCKING ELSE WILL. I hate it here.

When the enormity of the world's horrors makes you feel helpless, narrow your focus. Find one stranger and scold them for posting a recipe while kids are dying. Call out a new mom for not adding alt text to a baby photo. Critique a selfie. Correct a joke. Show people you care more than them.

Hi if you’re suddenly coming down with a “cold” two days after a big family Christmas, please keep in mind: -Paxlovid significantly reduces long Covid/hospitalization/death and it is *not* restricted to high-risk people -rapid tests are not super reliable with this variant! Masking is though!

I understand not everyone wants to look at it this way but folks...again I ask, what are we doing here? If someone doesn't wear a mask for you, they aren't going to help you if you become sick/disabled with Long COVID. Wearing a mask is the easiest thing a person can do, if they won't do that...

Principal of the elementary school sent this nonsense, as if 90% of the kids aren’t already sniffling & coughing unmasked disasters: If your child's illness is minor and doesn't fall under these guidelines, please send them to school so they don't miss out on learning.

Multiple coworkers from the mandatory in office visit last week are now sick & one has tested positive for Covid. Continuing to live in both the dumbest, darkest & most predictable timeline is extremely irritating. My office fit. Hopeful I can avoid the virus.
