And you had to post early if you wanted it to seen. I miss all the different threads

I’m sure it’s showing up in the stats. Here there was an uptick in our curve 2 weeks after mothers day.

I love her so much

I'm so sorry Hob. That's awful.

I was going to say Blackbird because I feel my blood pressure lower every time I hear it. I’ve loved it for as long as can remember I can remember listening to music. But then I listened to this for the first time in a while:

I read the book, and the period thing is generational. I try to remember to leave off periods when I text my Gen z or millenial colleagues, but with my Silent generation mom or Gen x friends, periods have no emotion. Code switching is key

November fucking terrifies me.

Oh dear god. I hope that kid can afford therapy wherever he is.

This week I suddenly started feeling a deep, deep sadness, just like you describe, although mine’s more like a wide, slow moving river than an ocean wave. It’s partly past griefs, partly saying goodbye to life as I’ve known it, and partly watching the plague hit places that were already struggling. 

You make good points. Our jeans would definitely need to be retailored. I just got Neil Shubin’s new book Some Assembly Required, all about embryology and evolution. On second thought, maybe what I should wish for is external gills. We still have gills at some stange of development, and they’d be so useful. Although…

I’ve noted this in apocalyptic films directed by men (like The Cabin) where the characters behave in a way that’s really foreign to what I’ve actually seen happen in disasters.

He just calls for “2nd amendment solutions” which is very diferent

“I'm the best understanderer. Seriously they were all saying no one understands- I don't say it, many people do- really the most greatest understooder ever."

Step 2 is pretending the tens of thousands of deaths are fake news dreamed up by the MSM to discredit the amazing, bestest job ever done on coronavirus.

Even in a more violent apocalypse, humans who can cooperate and plan will do better. Our only superpowers are language and social skills. No fur, no claws, no teeth to speak of, no prehensile tail. Seriously, we don’t have anything cool.

It’s great to see how many people are able to find a way to keep things going. Some of my favourite diners and cafes are managing by doing grocery boxes.

Just one virgin? This seems like a 2 or 3 virgin situation

😊yum!

Nice! I picked up sushi from my favourite place, but they messed up my order and gave me a very, very scary fishy special roll instead of the vegetarian dragon roll I craved. Everything else was really good, though, I didn’t have the heart to call them back about it because the whole point is that I want them to…
