I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There was an interesting/depressing article on NPR today about how the yoga and wellness community have a lot of overlap with conspiracy theories, especially QAnon. I got about four paragraphs in before realizing that this probably has a lot to do with my BIL and SIL's refusal to get vaccinated. My MIL (BIL and my husband's mother) has cancer that's metastasized, and it amazes and infuriates me that he may not come back into the U.S. to visit her before she dies.

Dana - The Atlantic has an article on The Crunchy-to-Alt-Right Pipeline as well. Very depressing.

Wow. Bad, bad injury in the Bengals-Bills game. I've never seen an ambulance on the field.

Bills' player Damar Hamlin made what looked like a normal hit and got back up on his feet, and then just collapsed like 2 seconds later. The broadcasters said the EMTs were administering CPR. I don't know if he went into cardiac arrest, but it sounds likely.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah, not good. I'm glad to see you here, Tep.

The rest of the players look so shook, rightly so. Man.

This feels bad.

They need to call the game. Just give both teams a tie. The game is not important.

It's not. I do hope they just call it. edit: Good call at least temporarily.

This feels so bad. Like a bad crash in a race.

edit: Class act with the fans there supporting the Bills. Good on you, Cincinnati.

UC Hospital is an excellent Level I trauma center, and it's close to downtown, so that's a positive in this situation.

The NFL should not leave this up to the teams. They need to be the ones to fucking call this.
