You: Hey, why is your profile background still from Camp #NaNoWriMo 2019?

Me: What do you mean *still*? That was only a few months ago!

Runkle does education and commentary on the law and current events. He didn't and would never do something that needed a stream nuke! The "gun" was an airsoft (fake) that he keeps at deskside for demonstrations. @TeamYouTube fix his account or I'll watch him wherever he moves to!

@feederofcats Sometimes we're kitten healers, sometimes we're kitten hospice, both are valid.

@feederofcats Aww poor little guy.

Yeah, nothing wrong with seeing if meds and oxygen will buy a window in which to go wild on spoiling him.

@granolalawyer Have you considered having better friends?

Attention high-acting-skills #ActuallyAutistic folks, I need an "everyone, us, or just me" on feeling hollow, like there's nothing left of me except a shell of meeting expectations.

"The world isn't the way I wish it were, so I'll just pretend it is." is some toddler logic. I'm begging adults to act like adults already...

If you like avocado as part of your #BeatingTheHeat meals, but you hate how short a time they're ripe before going off:

Premade guacamole cups.

The price per pound says they're more expensive, but, per *actual use*? No, no they're not.

@clairyjoe That night, my nose still sore, I said "screw that" and loosened the head strap to comfy, which I found out the next morning fixed the seal.

[Avrila, dodging COVID round 2 @AvrilaWrites]

@clairyjoe I'm a few months ahead of you, and I wish someone had told me excess leakage can be from it being too tight as well as not tight enough.

For a week or so when it said "adjust," I kept tightening it more until one morning my nose hurt. All day.

Kid: I HATE water!
Me: But, you're mostly water!
Kid: (gets big eyes, put hands on shirt and arms, looks back and forth between himself and me)
Me: Yup, inside your skin you're mostly water.
Kid: I WANT TO DRINK MYSELF

@ghostlifae @Neoncaffeine @BovbjergMarit @sew_hey My school has a mandatory attendance policy, but I simulcast lectures through Blackboard Collaborate and my position is that remote attendance is attendance.

I am increasingly worried about bird flu - it has pandemic potential

96 cow herds in 12 states
3 human cases so far - one with respiratory symptoms

This can and must be contained - if lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic are heeded

@TRyanGregory I miss when getting out ahead of a problem was a freaking thing you could talk about and people would be normal.
