For every American who says your vote doesn’t matter, and that politics has no direct impact on your life...

Thanks to everyone who criticized my post on covid-19. I still think the analysis I made was well-justified, but it certainly wasn't clear, and didn't adequately deal with death rates.

I was rewriting the article to be more balanced and less conclusive when I was flummoxed by something no one pointed out, which should have been obvious from the beginning: The number of positive cases and deaths is already greater than predicted by the models.

During Covid? I figure I might as well just open up conversation for anyone who's interested. Curious if any of you have been doing better, doing worse, w/e. And see if I can't offer any words of support. Given I can't do any writing right now at all I figure I might as well check in for anyone who's interested.

For me, it was Pixar's Onward on March 6.

I don't believe it... but there it is...

At least she says she feels okay (She obviously was vaccinated)

And this is also a good eye-opener not to take things lightly. COVID IS NOT OVER, and just because you're vaxxed doesn't make you immune (But at least you can still fight it)

According to my mom, my Sister-in-law's sister's had it 4 times!

When it comes to memes about Australia, there are two broad categories of the way we respond. We either gently correct the misconception, or we steer into it at full throttle.

25 years of quietly telling the internet that kangaroos do not bound down the streets of our major cities. COVID-19 hits and this happens in Adelaide.

So I wake up and then get absolutely bodied with a flood of news. We've had enough October Surprises to last several election cycles already and it's barely even October! What comes next? What is the world coming to? Politics have gotten so insane that we have just had enough news for several weeks compressed into a single day. There is so much important stuff going on and so much bullshit that's it's really difficult to keep up with all this chaos! I deeply dread what awaits all of us

UGH!! I can't take this anymore!!

I NEED MY CONVENTION TIME!! (Just like the rest of you do, right?)

-I miss meeting new celebrities, paying them my dues and thanking them for all they do.

-I miss wearing my costume, and the camera time that goes with it. (That cosplay of mine got me MONEY from modeling in Magazine's and food commercials at the cons)

Hello readers! I’m back!

“Was I ever gone?” some of you might be wondering. Well … Remember how I got that Covid-19 vaccination on Monday? I noted as such in Being a Better Writer that day, then after I finished my post went right to work and chugged along. Well …

If you haven't already, go get vaccinated against Covid-19, ASAP. The vaccines are safe and they work.

Do not try any of the purported "cures" like hydroxichloroquin or, sigh, ivermectin.

Jon Ola Sand has announced the cancellation of Eurovision 2020 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The vaccine administered to me was Sinovac. Few minutes have passed and I already felt slight pain on my left side and when I got home, my head was aching. I'm anticipating that the side effects will remain in a week or two. I will update you about my health from time to time. My 2nd dose will be on the 1st week of August.

Help fight COVID here

luck can't last forever, and after three years of doing my best to remain diligent the plague decided to fight me for keeps. i'm on the road to recovery now, but it's been a rather sucky week to say the least. by the grace of the chaotic gods i was at least speedy on working on brightly lit for pen, at least once it was shoved under the doorjamb to my office
