How anyone can talk about the flu going around at the moment as nasty and still not wear a mask is beyond me. Have people forgotten that flu cases went down dramatically while we were all wearing masks?

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

It’s a warm sunny day in Tokyo so I’m looking forward to students wearing long sleeved tops and jackets telling me it’s hot.

I don't drink coffee so not crossing this picket line won't be difficult for me, but the rest of you should probably be prepared to caffeinate in an alternate fashion
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

Abroad in Japan just released a really well done and important video about the absolute slop fest of misinformation about Japan that is harder and harder to navigate through these days, highly recommended.

Yes, the actor who takes a role in any Harry Potter work is telling you that they are a bigot - let's not couch it - and that they aren't safe people to invite to LGBT+ events, spaces, or interact socially with LGBT+ people, and you should protect LGBT+ people from them in future.

I’m working with a new teacher today and apparently she told management she couldn’t teach preschool classes because of trauma. Turns out there is no trauma, she just doesn’t want to do them. 🤬

Went to the doctor today to discuss my blood pressure medicine (working beautifully) and while I was there I asked about this year’s flu and Covid vaccines.

I’d like it if the reboot of Murder She Wrote is actually Jessica Fletcher killing someone every week and elaborately framing someone to settle some decades old grudge.

It’s cool enough in the evenings to open the windows and/or go for a walk. I’m so happy to be able to be outside again I could cry.

Is it wrong to want to keep the ac at work set to 20 even as the temperatures outside cool down (not happening yet!) just so I can move into my autumn cardigans sooner?
