Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Zombie cyborgs vs cyborg zombies: the dead who walk again have begun replacing lost body parts with technology, while cyborgs created to protect humans but who have since been bitten by zombies continue to fight their historic enemies. Live humans are extinct.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

"I hear vaccinations cause autism"

"No. There's no evidence of that and the study that started the whole thing was thoroughly discredited."

"I guess you're right. Vaccinations don't cause autism, they cause zombies!!"

"I can't find any studies disproving it - must be true!"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Mask mandate back at work starting tomorrow.

I may well be canceling my vacation for next month.

Our wings are not tired.

Email I just got from my doctor, who generally is on top of stuff and emails routinely. Poor guy is just so angry and burnt out from having to deal with idiots. Not his patients, but idiots at large.

I am proud that most of you have been following my recommendations over the past 18 months. I encourage all of you to continue wearing N95 masks or double masking.

Because of the current COVID variant storm surge, I am strongly advising the following:
Everyone should be fully vaccinated. Please limit your exposure to public places unless absolutely necessary.
For those of you fully vaccinated with a low spike antibody level and other conditions that make you immunocompromised, you are now eligible for a third vaccine ( booster).

Please call different pharmacies to locate where the vaccine is available and find out if a note from me is required.

As I have always emphasized MASKS, MASKS, MASKS.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

If I think about the vaccine and mask-deniers, it just makes me angry.

Work is being A Lot so I'm going to focus on a positive, like the engineer who brought their very fluffy cat to our video call this afternoon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In a late afternoon meeting today, my colleague's son came into frame about the same time as my cat. I guess it was time for attention!

So I'm now a week out from my last risky event and I hope that means I dodged a bullet....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There you go! JZ included one of our guinea pigs in her most recent Zoom to wide acclaim.

Matilda's friend Amelia is visiting, and they're laughing in Matilda's room! (Amelia was one of her close friends who also did not get into SotA and she's been in a pretty heavy depression for most of the year. This is the first time she's been over since before lockdown.)

In the last couple weeks Matilda has seen Mia, Iris, Anya, MI, Ruby, Savannah and Amelia. Aside from her jewelry class she often went months only seeing two of her friends (Mia & Iris) over the last year and a half.
