I am both hosting and cooking this year, which is stressful because there is a lot to do, but less stressful than just showing up as a guest and having no excuse to stop socializing because the kitchen needs me.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Hi Laura! Good to see your pixels too!
This is a repost of a Bluesky thread discussing what we can expect from the incoming administration, from someone who works in DC. The TL:DR is that it's gonna suck a lot, but there are reasons to believe complete disaster may be avoided.

I’m having some awful whiplash here. Got the happy news at the end of the day yesterday that my team member J had her water break and was headed to the hospital to give birth to her baby boy.
(Spoiler fonting for very different pregnancy news from another team member)
And then an hour later heard from another team member, C, that her 18 week fetus is not going to make it, and to preserve her life and her fertility her doctors are advising her not to wait for a natural miscarriage.
I’m shocked and saddened and underneath it all grateful that both of them but especially C are in blue states where they can at least for now expect care that recognizes them as human beings of value. And hating both that this was one of my first thoughts, and that a year from now it could look so different.
