No, we really are. Get a crash cart in here. She's coding.
This is so relevant right now. I spent yesterday in a hospital waiting room while a friend who is getting treated for cancer was getting a surgical procedure done. Another person in the clinic coded--they were literally yelling for a doctor and a crash cart and it was all scary and shit.
It was NOT my friend. She came out fine. It just took us twice as long in there. I'm still worried for her--she lives alone and has been fighting this damned shit for 9 years. Bleh.
And then Liv got all freaked out about *waves hands* all this.
Oh, and an acquaintance from high school got all butt-hurt because I defriended here for posting "all lives matter."
I am Lisa's Seething Ball of Rage.
Seething Ball of Rage seems appropriate.
I had a cousin comment on a FB post DH put up with his construction work on the front of the house. She said "You of all people should
Not have an American flag on their house." He ignored her. I'm sure I unfriended her years ago. Kid is like 12 (eta:11-1/2 I checked), but filled with right wing propaganda compliments of her demented parents.
Jess, maybe [link] can provide some way you could do something? I hear you on the distraction of work. Even while the normality and mundanity of work is super fucking weird right now
Jess that's awesome that they're doing something though.

Thanks for that, I'll share it with the rest of the team.
Thanks, Jess.
I am at work but my productivity is for shit.
I'm paying attention to FB mostly because my great nephew's wife is probably giving birth today, making my sister a great-grandmother. She's been begging to be induced for weeks and apparently the doctor gave in today. They are supposedly trying a couple other things first, but she is in the hospital.
So I've been watching my about to be a grandmother niece's page, and she's talking about supervolcano activity. Because we are just running short on that list of crises.
Now that I have watched (some not all) Community, I read the xkcd comic in Abed's voice.
The bright spot in all of this is that, while a crisis reveals who people are, sometimes "who they are" surprises you in a good way. Remember, there have been multiple law enforcement groups engaging with protestors and de-escalating. The county sheriff here in SA met with protestors, marched with them a ways, and promised the right to assembly would be protected.
Big tech companies making press releases may not be as substantive as we'd like, but even that much shows which way they think the wind is blowing.
