Yeah, I have had a magnetic ass in the past
Dang, girl.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All this "Magnets, how do they work" is reminding me that Insane Clown Posse turned out to be surprisingly sensible about vaccines. I hope I am remembering that correctly.

I guess they're professionally crazy, not in their personal day-to-day life.
I'll give the nephew some leeway on account of being an 11-year old, but I'm pretty sure if lightning strikes were killing more than half a million people a year in the US alone we'd be seeing it on the news 24/7. Assuming television broadcasting antennas hadn't all been melted into slag by that point.

Ugh a friend of mine from college in Arkansas just got covid despite being fully vaxxed. I mean, she had a mild case, fever headache and congestion, nothing hospitalizing but still. Ugh.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yeah, that sort of thing is why I'm in no rush to get back to the office, even though I'm fully vaxxed. I'm glad it's not too severe for her.
I did not get magnetic powers or 5G. My hair's a bit curlier than before the pandemic, but then most of my greys are coming in curly, and there are quite a few more of them now, so that's probably why. If Pfizer had a jab that made your hair curl they would have sold it to Garnier years ago.

This is why we need herd immunity! (The real kind you get from high vaccination rates, not the bullshit kind where we just let everyone get Covid.)
We've talked about a cross-country family road trip this summer if the Canadian border doesn't open up, but I'm kind of terrified that we'd be putting the unvaccinated 10 year-old at risk traveling through anti-vax parts of the country.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
No special powers here from the vaccine. Oh, well.
Mr. S started camp today, and it seems to have gone well.

The risk that even vaccinated we might catch and spread is enough that the three doctors in the family have declined the invitation to a family wedding where we know there will be some unvaxxed people (because the bride has confirmed some of her family are not vaccinated, and we assume others because that part of the country is not well vaxxed). We are still going, but we won't be dancing or mingling much (the music will be fantastic because this nephew majored in Bluegrass [and math; he's a math professor now]). Fortunately, it is all outside. If the weather doesn't permit that, we might be making a different decision.

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

Honestly, I've lost a lot of Give a Shit or compassion for people in the US who don't want to (not can't because of age or any medical reason) get the vaccine.
I wouldn't care about them at all except they are a freaking petri dish begging this virus to evolve. And thus they are still a threat to me and everyone. There is a safe, effective and free vaccination.
I miss the me from Before. She thought we might come together in the face of this.

Our wings are not tired.

I feel this so much. Really during the campaign of 2016 I started to change and it became a transformation by 2017, and has only continued to spiral in the same direction. I'm trying to find the old Laura, but I keep running into obstacles that just reinforce the realization that the world has gone mad.
