You know one thing I could live without ever seeing in a headline again? Any variation of

“People of color are at greater risk of ____”

or

“____ affects ethnic minorities substantially more than any other group.”

Because I’m now at the point where whenever a new pathogen hits the States or a new economics or education study is published, I’ve almost come to expect it and I’m just about never wrong.

“He’s petting one of the dogs that’s working hard searching for remains so survivors who’ve lost loved ones can have closure,” Bates wrote. “This criticism is classless and stupid.”

In a headline
the newspaper of record declared
that “COVID
Didn’t Take a Summer Vacation”
which is quite true
but unfortunately
far too many newspapers
took a summer vacation
from covering the virus.

I’m starting to mask again. I can’t afford to get COVID once more.

The signal emerging is that Lithium is good but iron-air is much better when you're balancing a large grid like the State of #NewYork.

Just pulled my second skin bandage off and OOOOOOOOOOOUCH #tattoo

My 54th birthday celebrations have included:
– A long breakfast
– A nap after that
– Hearing some marvellous, atmospheric #funk / #jazz drifting into my sleep from the playlist I left running on shuffle… and not finding the song afterwards from the list. So was it an invention of my dream or a mutation of some tune on the playlist?

Annyhoo, I guess that was my birthday gift. Thank you, brain. Kinda defines a lot of stuff in my life.
