I’m still playing a long game. Today marks the day everything changed three years ago.

"Is that not the moon?
And is the spring not the spring
Of a year ago?
This body of mine alone
Remains as it was before."

@ladtotale @gojirama @flo_mask @StewMinnie I’ve tried both and I just gave my Breathe99 away because it didn’t fit my face. I got a better fit with Flo. But your face is probably different! There’s no way to know without trying.

In medical schools across the country, there's a job you've never heard of.

Med students need patients. So these schools have workers who act as patients.

They memorize profiles — symptoms, histories, and more. And now some want a union. /1

There's a very good chance that your Jewish friends are not ok right now. And your Muslim friends are not ok. And your disabled friends are not ok. And your immunocompromised friends are not ok. And your empathetic friends are not ok. And maybe you're not ok either.

@haroldPDX why did those old people work so hard all their life just to quit before dying? CAN’T QUIT NOW NEVER STOP NEVER REST NEVER NEVER

@NWSPortland when i checked the weather sites, even in Eastern Oregon they’re prediciting 50%+ cloud cover at the time of the eclipse.

The solar eclipse is only a few days away, but unfortunately the forecast hasn't changed. Looks like skies will still be cloudy, & it will be rainy. So if you still decide to go searching, grab those eclipse glasses and a rain coat!

the ONE thing that could improve autumn is seasonal soup restaurants where you pay a fixed fee and can then sample as many soups as you like

[gl. @gretchin]

Yep. I was really looking forward to this eclipse until I checked the weather forecast.

[NWS Portland @NWSPortland]

An annular solar eclipse will be visible from parts of OR on the morning of Sat Oct 14th, where the moon blocks out the center of the sun, creating a "ring of fire" effect. Unfortunately, cloud cover looks heavy, especially near the coast, but you can try your luck! 🌥️

@NationalEclipse looks like all of oregon will be cloudy that day. :(

RIP to the COVID-19 vaccination card

@CDCgov says it is no longer distributing those white cards

If you need proof of vaccination, try your local health department!
