Does anyone have useful resources for navigating the germy world when fully avoiding exposure becomes impossible? At-home testing seems so false-negative-inclined as to be almost pointless, and everything seems extremely ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. (At the more macro level I do know about wastewater data.) We clearly need at least some protocols for what we do in our very small house when one person is Mystery Sniffles or whatever; I can’t get this sick repeatedly or risk new chronic health issues :(

I am sick for the first time since March of 2020 and I am either being a GIANT BABY about it or I'm really quite sick and either way this is terrible, I don't like it at all, zero stars. (Also my dog is still, like, losing all his fur and most of his skin and has to eat disgusting baby food and is just very pitiful.) *sad noises*

Blurb is a funny word that gets used frequently & with utter seriousness in my world. I was curious about its age and found this interesting (it apparently started out as deliberately mocking/humorous) https://www.etymonline.com/word/blurb

@npub1yks…rgk5 I haven't had that vaccine but have heard folks having *no fun* after; I'm sorry it's that way. (I *have* had shingles and can report that it suuuuuucks and I'm glad you're now less likely to go on that particular ride!)

@npub1yks…rgk5 I’m sorry. I hate that and it’s so, so hard.

Hey academic/teacher/nerd friends: Can I get some book recommendations for a teenager who wants to learn about non-US history? Can be about anywhere, any period, but less with the war/violence/politics and more with the culture/arts/communications/daily life. @npub1tpd…3r9c ? @npub1q32…xgsx ? anybody? :)

Having workers in my house freaks me allllll the way out, and today is an all-day deal :( I sympathize with my dog who barked his head off as they arrived.
