Oh dear. I mean, yeah that tracks with calendars and whatnot but also NOOO

Although also I do kinda want to read that now

I am out in the world meeting a friend for lunch/drinks! I feel very daring. Also I haven’t seen this friend in over a decade and we haven’t really kept in touch online but we talked on the phone (can you believe that?!) on Monday and that was pretty great so I am excited. Also I am having tacos and a cocktail right now and they are both yum. Red letter day.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Dallas County issued an emergency mask order Wednesday following a judge's ruling that local leaders could require masks as a measure to curb the spread of COVID-19. An executive order from Gov. Greg Abbott previously prevented mask mandates.

This is good, but I can't imagine the shit people are going to get trying to enforce this.

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.

I just spent 20 minutes trying to explain viruses to my dad.

Also found out my favorite diner in Salt Lake closed in May.

I want a drink. I'm not kidding.

Thrive to spite them

I swear DeSantis wants to kill as many people as possible. He's running for re election as well, I don't get his strategy unless he thinks he can just rely on the hard core Covid is no Big Deal voters... but will enough be alive next year to vote for him?

It plays in perfectly with the "liberals want to control every part of your life and are therefore an existential threat" narrative.

OMG I came home from my afternoon playing hooky and started doing some work and one of my coworkers is also working this late! I want to tell her to stop but I don't feel like I can since I have a little still to do, but I was gallivanting around instead of working for like half the day...
