Bear is still high :/ He didn’t sleep at all last night, or today. He has to be in contact with me at all times, if I stand up he’s twining around my ankles, if I sit down he’s either on my lap or sitting on my feet. But he wouldn’t come to bed last night. And he can’t stop making biscuits, his little hands and wrists are going to be sore. I hope it wears off soon. Fern keeps hissing at him because he smells wrong and acts wrong, she probably thinks he’s a doppelgänger. #cats#catsofmastodon
In the US, we may be about to lose all of our reporting on #COVID19 hospitalizations. An HHS bulletin from November noted that hospital's COVID reporting was extended “from the end of the current PHE (Public Health Emergency) through April 30, 2024.”
I hope we continue to see hospitalization data, but we may not. The US has seen 265,966 COVID hospitalizations in the first four months of this “post-pandemic” “COVID is over” year.
It appears people no longer know how to operate one of these. Absolutely no one knows what it is anymore (probably for the last 5 years). #mystery#object
Hmm, unsure what kind of weather event just went through here (microburst?) but an incredible burst of wind, you could hear it pulling air through some of the windows, every tree straining, and then back to normal. #wind#CAwx
@dgar bonus snail shell I found plus a mouse skull I cleaned. Also I’m ancient 😊 (also I have a million more rocks, shells, bones, wasp nests, shelf fungi, fossils, a mummified flat toad someone ran over on my driveway)
I'm shocked by just how “back to normal” we are, even as #COVID19 still mutates and spreads. For years during the pandemic, I tracked throughput at TSA checkpoints as one measure of activity.
In 2019, the peak day saw 2,882,915 travelers pass through checkpoints and a yearlong average of 2,308,559. This year, our peak day saw 2,884,783 and the average is 2,340,173.
@augieray someone just asked me if they can come visit and stay over a couple days after they fly back from Europe in December. I have an autoimmune disease. :/
@w7voa Shocking how little effort they seemed to have put into finding him. Is this kind of warning so common that they don't take it seriously because the guy doesn't usually follow through?
