I was pretty privileged during the pandemic (in that I didn't get sick, none of my loved ones died from it, and didn't lose my job), but holy crap! I can't even imagine thinking it was great in any way!

The latest FB Marketplace trend in my area seems to be people selling 90s era footlockers as "antique steamer trunks", and selling ACTUAL antique steamer trunks that they've painted white as "upcycled shabby-chic wooden boxes".

They won't let people work remotely (even bc of communicable diseases that spread to other employees AND THEIR FAMILIES), so OF COURSE making new parents bring their vulnerable newborns INTO THE FUCKING OFFICE instead of working from home is SO kind and generous!

The last time the AIDS memorial quilt was displayed in its entirety was in 1996.
At the time, there were "only" around 40,000 panels (each containing anywhere from one to dozens of names), and it took up the entire National Mall.

I made it nearly 6 years, worked dozens of conferences, visited *7* foreign countries, but I have finally fallen to the 'rona.
I 100% blame the State of Indiana.
They banned remote work, so someone at my partner's office came in sick, which got HIM sick, which got Lil' Ms. Immunocompromised sick.

Reading letters from the Princess Liselotte of Palantine, the German sister-in-law of Louis XIV, and it's wild because she had this super informal writing style that almost sounds like modern texts
Like at one point she goes "wish to god my son didn't love holding chunks of bread like a peasant"

Don't. Put. Your. Cooking. Grease. Down. The. Drain.
grease floats.
when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.
the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.
listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.
