Yeah, same here, David. It's heartbreaking. Relatedly, if anyone doesn't have local shops to support and needs assistance finding cool gifts, let me know!! I'd love to help you shop!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think San Francisco is headed for another Shelter-in-Place order.

Meanwhile, in Ohio, some GOP members of the state House of Representatives have formally filed articles of impeachment against our (GOP) governor, calling his shutting down some businesses/enforcing a curfew "an abuse of power." They are insane and want us all to die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A family friend has COVID, which would be one thing, except he's been living with his mom and her husband in their co-op building full of people in their 70s and now half of them have to quarantine, because one person outside the family spent time with the guy with the COVID. Uggghhhhh. I'm basically begging my mother not to see her friends this week.

Hope your pup is better today, Meara!

The Daily podcast episode about the vaccine progress is a good listen. And somewhat encouraging about timing. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page) came out as trans.

I can't imagine how much courage that took, knowing how much hate he'll get for it. But fuck those people.

Rory is doing better. They’re planning to keep giving fluids and see how he is this afternoon. Hopefully come home this afternoon.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay Rory!

I'm not really familiar with Elliot Page, but that was a moving statement.
