Recovered from the food poisoning and related blow to my gut flora. Now a cold? Boy, Happy Holidays, people.

It's still a challenge to find local Covid-safer businesses, events, and community, but we've found a few resources to jumpstart the search and perhaps inspire you to launch your own local Covid-conscious business directory or event listings.

Check out the guides […]

I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. I want disabled people to be protected from the US medical and legal system that wants them to die. As someone living with stage 4, I would like the option of not having a long drawn out death.

When I moved across the country to my PhD program, I visited the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and met some wonderful researchers that gave me a tour and talked with me about their work. I’m devastated to hear about the proposed dismantling. #SaveNCAR

Okay, People has finally advanced to "multiple sources" in their articles (the first one, which is still up, remains single-sourced to TMZ) and is saying they were found by their daughter after being murdered by their son

The question should never be, "Why are you wearing a mask?"

The question needs to be, "Why are YOU not wearing one?"

The burden of justifying one's actions should rest with the one committing the aggression.

I haven't been to Utah since '14, I think, and that was, I believe, before the cookie and dirty soda craze. Those cookies look unsafe, and those dirty sodas look weird and random.

#Utah. #Swig #Crumbl
Crumbl is an affront to anyone with functioning taste buds. Just an underbaked glob of sugar. The flavor is just pure sugar.
I've never had Crumbl so I have no judgment to pass on people who love/hate it, but it just looks nasty to me? I don't understand what looks appealing, how people see the cookies and go "I want to try that."

We all remember the world of 2019, right?

Yeah, it's over. Gone. Fin. Done and dusted. It's dead, Jim.

Adapt, my friends. 😷

Remember how "following the science" was all the rage?

.....Until it meant continuing to wear a mask?
