Punishingly Intricate

I haven't read the article but I was week wondering why tf a bus driver would pick up someone with a gun! Jesus, that's terrifying.

I think he felt he didn't have a choice, lisah.

Is intolerance to spicy food a superpower? I'm eating leftover shrimp biryani (that was a bit too spicy to begin with, but cooled down with raita on it) that seems to have gotten WAY spicier in the fridge. Or possibly I have become even more intolerant of spicy food in the last 8 hours. Dang it, Moderna!

So far, no side effects, though I didn't really expect any this early. (I have read about some people developing side effects within a few hours, but that's more on the outer edge of the bell curve.)

I hope you're feeling okay today, Teppy.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Feeling a little crappy -- headache, generally achy, and a fever. I'm hoping to sleep it off. And side effects are a fair tradeoff for antibodies, so I can live with it.

Our wings are not tired.

Go antibodies! Yeah, hydrate a bunch.

Uuuugg. I got given a project where I’m supposed to do my job and also a different job. And I hate it and have no idea what I’m doing and have been doing it for two months but only get the training next week. But Monday I have to present a big slide deck of various things to higher ups that is a routine process except NOT FOR MY NORMAL JOB and I have no idea what any of it is (even the parts where I can fill it out because it says “insert screenshot of X” I don’t know what I would then SAY about X??) hate this.

That's how I felt about the side-effects. I didn't feel well, but I've felt worse, and at least I knew the shot was working.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Thanks, Laura. This year as every year, I'm grateful to share my birthday with the great Willie Mays, who turns 90 today.

It's been quiet this year, which I am beyond ok with. As Ann Leckie says (and I believe it was in amyparker's tagline at one point): "It's only ever been one step and then the next."

I love you all, even if I'm a lot less demonstrative about it than I was at one time.

Toddson, that reminds me of this old sketch from The Edge.
