That's fascinating. I'm guessing it wouldn't be sustainable for any loong period of time, but long enough to keep someone's heart and brain alive while getting more traditional life saving procedures hooked up? That could save someone's life, health, and mind. #scifichat

It is good to hear from you and I'm glad your family is doing well. #Scifichat I keep on saying FB is evil; I'm only there to have at least a small chance of findingh out what's going on with friends and family who don't do other social media and who also never call or text.

I want to heart this, because of the first part, but not to the second part!!! #SciFiChat

I miss @ebonstorm.bsky.social

You too!

I'm not sure if the ideal setting is Oz, but momey hoarding is a social issue that needs some good satirical treatments.

Somewhere, I think. For a little while there was a video of me onstage, but that didn't stay up. #SciFiChat (Scraos costume)

Did you know that flying monkeys have a filk song?

The CDC just ain't what it used to be
ain't what it used to be,
ain't what it used to be
The CDC just ain't what it used to be
And we know who to blame

I'm feeling more than a little slow today, I'm afraid. I've been sick since more than a week before Halloween, and am on my second (and hopefully last) course of antibiotics. (Yes, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!)

#scifichat

I'm on the second round of antibiotics, so I'm really ready to be better yesterday! But thank you--good wishes are always welcome.

I read them as a kid, all the ones that a friend of our father gave to us because he wasn't going to have any kids himself, anyway. As I am not the current custodian of those books, my memory of them is very very old!

You know, there's dozens of Oz books, and one is called The Patchwork Girl of Oz.

AI v AI - There's a reality show for you. #scifichat

To be fair, Covid became "endemic" rather than "pandemic" before new theaters would likely have been built, much less stocked with sound systems for every individual car to prop in their windows. #SciFiChat

Most drive-ins were demolished years or decades before the pandemic hit. If it had happened while they were merely abandoned, that might have happened. #scifichat

And nobody thought it would last long enough to justify new construction.

I was The Patchwork Girl for a worldcon masquerade a while back. #SciFiChat
