"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

(I'm avoiding finishing a presentation).

Now the instructions in Israel are not to hold events with more than 2000 participants in them. I really cannot see how the semester will start next week, but still no news from the university. The spring's sci-fi con next month will probably won't take place either.

I also won't go to a coworker's shiva and I feel guilty about it, but shivas right now are a petri dish.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My coworker's training (in our office, maybe 50 people??) just got cancelled! They are strongly discouraging gatherings of more than 25, which just seems wild.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This all-day remote conference was supposed to have a 30-minute break 45 minutes ago.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Good to hear from you, Nilly, even if it's due to self-quarantine.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

CT did the same today , and it turns out the Rhody already did it yesterday. I only thought to look after you mentioned MA.

Our wings are not tired.

Florida did too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think Ohio did, too.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I saw that New York has called in the National Guard for New Rochelle.
