When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Our wings are not tired

A couple I know got Covid at a recent convention -- they've held it off for over 5 years now.

I still haven't had Covid.

I take it as kind of an imperfect shorthand for people who are no longer active and engaged with the world (whatever that looks like in their personal circumstances ) or interested in new things.

Yah, same for my mom.

Stay healthy out there, people. I'm still masking up. Until Seph tells me to stop, ha!

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

Do you think that was approval?

She was urging Matilda to not give up and fight for the puppy.

Impressive, ND! I got it for the first time (that I know of) last July. But there’s a wave going around and I have a very painful swollen lymph node, so I’m not sure if I’m getting sick or fighting it off or if it’s something else entirely. Fingers crossed. Texted negative yesterday and feel otherwise fine but…ordered more tests.

I feel old when hanging out with some of the dance folk, and young with others. I feel VERY old when one of the people I think of as the younger crowd mentions that she thinks of another group as the younger crowd and that she’s old. Makes me double old!

ND, you're like the kid in The Last of Us! We need the secret to your Covid resistance superpower.

Human barometer news: a weather front is moving is, and my knees ache and my right hip is made entirely out of fire. I don't care for that shit at all.

I don't think I've had COVID either, though I could have if it was asymptomatic.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

same here. although my secret is probably being left out of stuff, so I can't really advise or recommend that one.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My sister and I and her best friend were all unicorns and then we all got taken down at the same time. There is some dispute as to who exactly was patient zero in the scenario.

I’ve never had covid and I work with the public! Thinking about masking on Amtrak next month because of measles though.
