Doing my best to teach my kids what a gift this one precious life is. Camping, hiking, running, crafting, and laughing as much as we can.

@taylorswift13 It’s me, hi. I know places in Canada would love to have you. So, don’t make it another cruel summer. We hope to see you soon.

A thread about our recent hiking trip into Havasupai.

[Luke Closs @lukec]

Back in December, my better half @jencloss came into my office and said: "Hey I found an amazing opportunity to camp near the Grand Canyon - but it is 16km/10mile hike in and out. Should we do it with the kids?" Rare spots had opened up at the #Havasupai Campground! #adventure

@ParkBoard Such a disappointment. What a waste of money taking out a beautiful asset to the city.

[jencloss @jencloss]

Ok this is great. It’s blocked for their drive-thru light display. Thank goodness we have a safe space for cars to enjoy the city’s 2nd largest park. @PNE_Playland @CityofVancouver @ParkBoard

[jencloss @jencloss]

Some things never change! Bike lane blocked abruptly with no warning, no detour, just a fence. @PNE_Playland @CityofVancouver @ParkBoard

@runcandicerun She sat right beside me 😷 so much coughing. UGH.

If you have to bring a whole box of tissues to your kids’ musical theatre performance (or anywhere) YOU SHOULDN’T BE OUT IN PUBLIC. #stayhome

Hey @BCFerries that’s pretty shitty to cancel a reservation one day before on a long weekend when every single sailing is SOLD OUT.

@dustbobgod I bought egg nog at Costco yesterday. Felt like I needed to share that with you.

@craptropolis @a_longhurst I had a sore arm and that’s it. Fever after AZ, crummy aches and fatigue after Moderna.

Classic kitten trick: send out the smallest, cutest one to sucker someone in and then… BAM reveal that they need to adopt all 12 of ya. Works every time.

Happy Friday. Here's a brief recap of some new publications, preprints, and reports related to COVID-19 that have come out recently (most in the last week or so). 🧵

[jencloss @jencloss]

2 years of sacrifices and now we’re just fine with repeat infections with cumulative damage? Kids with hepatitis? Wtf.

[jencloss @jencloss]

So we have a vaccine that protects against severe illness and death but not transmission, infection or resulting long term effects, unreliable at-home tests and zero public health measures. How do we manage our risk with no data and no guidance?

[jencloss @jencloss]

Learning to live with covid is just living with covid. We shouldn’t be ok with that.

[Andrew Longhurst @alonghurst.bsky.social @a_longhurst]

Smart people are convincing themselves that this virus is now benign. I get it. We all want the pandemic to wrap up happily ever after. But it’s just not the case.

Polio was “mild” for some, debilitating for others.

Covid isn’t a cold. It’s a vascular & neurotropic disease.

[jencloss @jencloss]

@jkenney This is what learning to live with covid looks like. We are never going back to "normal."
