I'm are Dad's. He looks terrible.
The hospital released my brother early. He showed up to pick up his stuff and the police arrived to arrest him.
JFC, I need a drink.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

Oh, Cash.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm so sorry, Cashmere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would like to offer you a drink, Cashmere.
My job just cancelled all non-essential travel through April 30, including domestic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Cash, you deserve ALL the drinks.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Cash, I'm so sorry. There should be at least a drink.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The "taste of Downtown" thing that's scheduled for this weekend the next town over is still happening, and I'm going to go. My parents are going to join me, which I didn't really expect because they are in their 70s and therefore more vulnerable than me and were making noises about hunkering down and avoiding gatherings but not for some reason this one? And my dad's going to take the train, although maybe there won't be a lot of other passengers? Who knows. After a flashy start with the first community spread patient, Solano County has been holding steady with only 3 cases and no deaths so we're officially "low danger" so maybe that makes the difference.

Cash, that sounds terrible.
Our Director of Operations just sent an email to the whole school asking us to update him on our ability to work from home (they tend not to provide a laptop unless you can make a business use case). Basically he was asking us if we owned computers. I have an iPad provided by the school that I can use for most things, but not everything. My laptop is basically trash.

Oh, Cash, I hope you get that drink soon. And also an improvement in circumstances. {{{Cash & Fam}}}
The dance class I go to sometimes on Friday nights just sent out a FB message that they're considering whether to cancel classes, but not going to do it yet. And, paraphrasing, that people need to practice good hygiene, which is never a bad idea for a partner-dancing class.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The organization I work for has two conferences scheduled for late April as well as any number of courses before and after that. We're getting a number of calls and emails as to whether they're going to take place; several people have contacted us saying their company has vetoed any travel unless essential. We sent out an email to, well, everyone saying that all our events are taking place until further notice. Demand for our virtual courses is going up.
Got an email from the building I'll be moving into about this - sounded cautious but not panicked.
I don't travel for work, but I take public transit ... and I'm on the edge of the high risk population (I'm older, overweight, diabetic, high blood pressure, etc.). I'm cautious, but there are limits.
