If you are in Baltimore, and you haven't had an adult MMR booster or recent titers, now is the time to get that booster! Mumps immunity is more susceptible to waning than measles and it needs a single adult booster after age 18 or so for maximum efficacy!

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

A screen shot a text exchange that reads: "Is everything ok? You left while I was in the shower and didn't get to say goodbye or anything" "I got a call" "Ngl. Ive been patient long enough.... but clearly your not ready for a real adult relationship. Your out here wasting hours with a fuckin library card like some little kid playing pretend smart. Reading books? Really? While I'm sitting here with actual needs!! real needs!! that you keep ignoring because your weird I. My sexual needs matter and when I want you, I expect you to be available" "And the library card I found in your wallet is childish... Kids go there, Jada. Kids. So what are you even doing hanging around a place like that all the time? You gonna tell me you just "like to read or are you seriously getting off on being around little boys? That's some weird shit. Grow the fuck up plz. I'm sorry for going off like this but I need a mature woman who can meet my needs when I ask not when you feel like"

Love this book so much (I've called dibs on Ludwig, so the stan line starts behind me 😂). I'm glad she's putting the audiobook out as a podcast so I can listen to it at work. :D
