Reread Jen Devon's Bend Toward the Sun for probably the third or fourth time, and I'm utterly convinced it's one of the best romances of the last few years.

Amy is awesome, and y'all already heard my rant on deductibles resetting so I'll just say: if you've got some quarters rattling in the couch cushions, she needs her insulin pump so she can keep focusing on playing Dragon Age. 💓
It's a new year, and a new deductible and out of pocket. This year we just can't afford my insulin pump anymore.
I am so sorry to have to ask for help. I am looking for work, and we are also thinking outside the box. Shares are appreciated, too!

This series is AMAZING and should be spread far and wide. Smart and funny and sometimes poignant and so twisty, plot-wise. I’m always eagerly awaiting the next Lady Sherlock installment.

Updated boosters try to match currently circulating COVID variants, so they're very worth getting! They don't make you invincible, though. In the driving metaphor, getting a booster is like getting your breaks checked, or something??

![COVID zine page 7
[Bold, handwritten text] Vaccines and "hybrid immunity" are not enough.
COVID vaccines create antibodies that fight infection. They've greatly reduced hospitalization and death from acute infection. But antibody levels quickly decline over the following months. Vaccines aren't stopping people from getting infected, spreading COVID, and long-term damage
[diagram of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The virus is covered in spike proteins, and there are circulating antibodies, some of which bind to the spike proteins. There's a human cell covered in ACE2 receptors. When a spike protein binds to an ACE2 receptor, that's cell infection. When an antibody binds to the spike protein, it can't infect!]
COVID keeps mutating, with new shapes in the spike protein that evade old antibodies. You can get reinfected with a different variant, even in weeks.
[Bold, handwritten text] COVID vaccines are like an airbag. Avoiding exposure is like keeping your hands on the steering wheel.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twccexjsbh6y2tyhysjrhc2v/bafkreifmjb7bkzrckheraoamocna2ek3rtt3wxqp7zufxvnfwxzif66c2m@jpeg)

[Bold, handwritten text] COVID is really dangerous.
[Cartoon of a person's circulatory system]
COVID isn't just a respiratory illness. It injurs the blood vessels and can damage nearly any organ, all over your body.
Even mild infections cause brain shrinkage equivalent to aging 1 to 10 years.
Each infection has a ~1 in 10 chance of causing new, lasting symptoms, aka Long COVID. This is true for kids AND adults.
Long COVID can present in all kinds of ways. Even cases that start mild can become debilitating.
[Cartoon of a person lying down and wearing an eyemask, surrounded by handwritten descriptions of potential Long COVID outcomes]
Can't read, watch TV, look at phone, listen to music.
Brain fog, hard to even think.
In pain, feel like you have the flu for months on end.
Have to lay in the dark and quiet.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twccexjsbh6y2tyhysjrhc2v/bafkreifnxtv47ro6gqabanw3d6hikppdnwlmzpmcu5tdynxcifvzkznamu@jpeg)

Here's the real tea:
[handwritten, bold text] COVID is airborne & movies like smoke.
Because the virus is transmitted by respiratory aerosols--the fog that you can see exhaled on a cold day.
Could you smell if someone was smoking? Then you could inhale their COVID virus.
[Cartoon of a person standing near 2 cigarette smokers, surrounded by smoke.]
This is why airflow, filtration, and limiting contacts are key to stopping infections.
[handwritten, bold text] Six feet apart /= safe
That's old news, from when scientists *hoped* COVID was mainly spread by large droplets.
Turns out, it can hang out in the air for hours.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:twccexjsbh6y2tyhysjrhc2v/bafkreihs6cg5mlnidylynhqswljfvx7hlro6cw3cgzizf6ov3jsbhg57tu@jpeg)

In my house, we used to have a hard time remembering the name Jersey Mike’s, so we started calling it New Jersey Steve’s or (my favorite) Mike’s Hard Sandwiches. Best name in family lore is Capt. Jack ‘n’ Flippers (Long John Silvers). Anyone else have fun restaurant/product/etc. nicknames?
