Sir Kraken came calling? Oh well. Good riddance. NEXT! 💀

If this is for real, there's no shortage of work for you Ferryman!

A couple I'm friends with just got on a plane and flew to NYC for a little holiday. Really hope they don't bring back the BQ version (that's kicking off there right now) on the return trip. FB pics from the subway with nobody masked on the platform, crammed into the train. Ugh. 😑

My head hurts from banging it against my desk.

Still a bit sleepy today, just a bit dopier than usual. Time for another edible. 🤣

So that kicked my arse bigtime! This morning felt like a bad hangover but I took some ibuprofen and had a hot soak and am now going for a little walk in the beautiful fall sunshine. Life is good. 😁

Double double is a Canadianism in these here parts. 😎 I'm going to entertain myself tomorrow by catching up on the Jan 6 committee stuff. LET'S GOOOOOOO!

You are my hero. Please take care of your fine self!

That Florida 'study' put out by Deathstantis' death guru is doing the rounds now. Doesn't take much to set the idiots to retweeting wonky 'information' as gospel. We really are doomed. https://youcanknowthings.com/2022/10/09/a-critical-review-of-floridas-new-vaccine-analysis/

Patio only for me, indoor dining is a hellscape.

First booster in July, getting #5 + flu shot on Thursday. I'm old so I'm allowed to get the magical science juice every 90 days for eternity. 🍸 <raspberry basic martini sounds fantastic!

Diagalon wants to see a diagonal line from Alaska to Florida. These are some scary mofos and they are embedded and very trigger-happy. This asshole gets away with so much shit talking, but it's kind of a coincidence that his arrest FINALLY happened after he joked about raping Pierre's (the mini-me Trump wannabe leader of the Cons) wife on his video channel. As for the rest of that TUPOC crowd, the batshit crazy just keeps spreading. We need to make asylums great again.

Me neither. No. Gathering.

I have them in every bag and a big box of them at home. Gave one out to my other co-worker who was wearing the Floppy Blue. 😷

The general attitude seems to be 'why try and fight it when it's everywhere.' I reckon if my N95 stops even one transmission a day, that's a drop in the big bucket, and if everyone did it, it would really help. But noooo.... we have to just give up? 😱 I'm going to start asking them what 'giving up' means to them -- no more mask? no more vaxxing? just travelling + gathering whenever/wherever?

Co-worker down with it now. Her daughter brought it home from high school last week and now they're both sick.

So far so good, unless I had an asymptomatic case, but I have yet to see a positive test.

Sorry to hear that, but yeah, it's brutal. We have two profs down with long Covid and now it's ripping through the students/TAs after a gigantic welcome-back mosh pit last week. Everyone where I work knows about my personal 'no gathering' rule this winter. They can go ahead and get it again and again if they want. I wear my N95 whenever I step outside of our triple-filtered office zone and I refuse all invitations. Was fortunate to be able to buy a new car to avoid public transit until whenever this shit dies back. I have zero fucks left.
