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.

"Yeah! Remember in the fall when we were all vaccinated against Alpha and Delta and were temporarily bulletproof! We saw movies and shit!"

Open mic blues night at the brewery! With food from Grub Hut and the "Wandering Sasquatch" IPA and lots of big dogs to scritch!

I wish I’d done more in the down times!! But if you are bulletproof like Teppy and soon Hec, work it!!

Go Laura, hope y’all reach a great deal!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So giddiness at being Omicron proof has been mitigated by Russia invading Ukraine.

Le sigh.

WTF 2020s. You are the worst decade I've ever lived through so far.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yeah this all sucks.

Texas starts state mandated persecution of trans kids.

Russia invaded Ukraine.

I would like so many leaders to drop dead right now.

I got my wish with Scalia and then there were three more Scalias on the SCOTUS.

I'm mindful of my Monkey Paw wishes now.

Russia has launched missile attacks on Kyiv's airports, trying to suppress their air force.

Ugh I am so pissed at Texas. They’re just all about creating Snitch Culture aren’t they?

And v curious—for work we are starting up a new thing and getting some doctors offices in Eastern Europe…and Ukraine. A day or two ago I asked the liaison if we should rethink Ukraine and she was like “no I’m Kyiv we are fine it’s just two breakaway provinces it shouldn’t be an issue” and now I’m v curious what she’ll say at our first meeting in a couple days…if we have it?? I mean it wouldn’t be for a few months but…seems iffy.

I do not appreciate plague AND global warfare.

Well, it's a full invasion now, so she's very mistaken.

Ugh. This is like 9/11.

It's fucking happening now.

Sorry, East Coast friends. You will wake up to a full on aggressive military invasion of the Ukraine by Russia.

Everything political is fantastically destabilized by this.

I'm thinking a lot about Littlefinger's stratagem which was to sow chaos and move up the ladder.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, this. I'm pretty grateful I slept in until 7, which late for me! I did take a reading break aroung 3:30, as often happens, but only about 45 minutes.

The world has gone mad.
