How is Tim feeling today?
A lot better than the past few days, and no fever. So, fingers still crossed that it was just a generic virus.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
This time, instead of the one looooong swab that bounces off the inside back of your skull, there was a shorter swab not much longer than a qtip but they do both nostrils. This is general staff testing rather than the more worrying "you might have been exposed" testing. I think it's a very good action for an assisted living residence to put into practice.
We're so far from out of the wood with the coronavirus... but between Biden going to run a better national policy than Trump and a truly hopeful announcement about a vaccine, I can believe that we may have crested the long upslope and have an easier downhill on this.

Producing and distributing the vaccine is going to be a logistical headache, but I certainly trust the Biden Administration to handle it. Considering how the current administration has handled the pandemic so far, I would expect them to sell the vaccine to another country, or maybe just smash all the vials for the hell of it and tell Pfizer not to make more. Oh! Or give Trump like 500 doses of the vaccine because he thinks it will make him super-immune, and *then* smash the rest of the vials, especially if someone in his administration has an active case of Covid, because fuck them.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
"Folks, I've had so much vaccine that I'm now immune to all diseases! Doctors have never seen anything like it, they're like 'President Trump, we've never seen anything like it, no one has ever responded to the vaccine like this,' and some people are saying I might not even be human anymore."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Very busy today at work. Probably because Wed. is a Federal holiday, so patients got rescheduled to today. Tomorrow looks busy as well, but it's my telework day.

Somehow both "too real" and "wow sounds like the start of a cartoon villain" are both true here. Yikes.

Some cute news: two new greater glider species discovered in Australia. They're super cute!

Looking into running for 2024 so he can continue to rake in donation dollars to spend at his own properties.
Someone had asked about a Georgia person to funnel contributions through. The only person I can think of is Dianne Cameron, who I don't think is a member here, but she is on the Buffistas FB group.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Those gliders are super cute! But since they are in Australia, how many ways can they kill you?
Or give Trump like 500 doses of the vaccine because he thinks it will make him super-immune, and *then* smash the rest of the vials
Sure, like Killmonger

“Not dead yet!”
This reminds me, did you all see the clip of the news guy where the Trump support comes up behind him and asks if he's "the real news or the fake news" and the reporter just says "Fuck off!" and goes back to camera? If no, I can try to find it again.
I saw! It was a Long Island reporter, wasn’t it?
