As a Los Angeles resident, I miss #earthquaketwitter, but Mastodon's doing great with the New Jersey shimmy right now. A scroll of one-sentence in-the-moment human reactions from a whole region is so effective, esp. before official reports are available. #earthquake

That's officially a wrap on my 8th #gally1. This year looked a bit different for me because I honored my little neurodivergent brain and took breaks when I felt myself getting overstimulated and didn't attend any big panels. But I got to hug many friends and enjoy a lot of laughs. That's what it's all about. I hope everyone else had an amazing @gally1

It's really hard to concentrate on while my husband is yelling at the insurance company over billing issue.

They are terrible, and he is fighting the valiant fight. I don't begrudge it at all, but I just can't think!

Our house is super open, so there's nowhere I can get away unless I actually leave the house, and I keep expecting him to be done soon. But as many of you probably know, calls to insurance companies can go on longer than you expect.

If you tell me “I never want to catch #COVID again”, but you are doing absolutely nothing to avoid catching Covid, forgive me but I do not believe you. #covidisnotover

I want a list of dessert shops run by southeast and East Asian people. It’ll just be called ‘not too sweet’, the highest praise someone can give dessert in most of those cultures. A lot of American dessert is.. a lot

Better late than never. More like this.

MSNBC: Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) calls his opposition to an #AssaultWeaponsBan a mistake after deadly mass shooting in his district.

Golden: I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war like the assault rifle he used to carry out this crime. The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure. Which is why I now call on the US congress to ban assault rifles..for those who have been harmed, I ask for forgiveness" #GunViolence

Sitting in a Thornbury cafe, watching the staff line up all the delivery bags for those keen on receiving half-cold coffee etc. I really don’t get the appeal of food delivery when you live in a neighbourhood with lots of cafes.

A new 🧵 on the #COVID19 situation:

I am getting more cautious about #COVID19 again. I believe you should, too. New data:

• COVID in US wastewater has doubled in the past five weeks and is still rising (https://biobot.io/data/).

• US COVID hospitalizations are up 40% in a month and still rising (https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklyhospitaladmissions_select_00).

• COVID positive rate has risen over 150% in two months. It's now matched our highest positive rate in the last winter surge, and it's still rising (https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_select_testpositivity_00)
