I'm in the process of switching away from this "drink from the firehose" instance that I joined 4 years ago. Soon, I'll be @[email protected] where I've already joined my instance's Patreon to support it. I appreciate not being 100% the product and want to keep it that way.

She/her, childfree, chronic fatigue syndrome #spoonie, gaining art skills. I am or have been a biologist, photog, gamer, tea lover, reader, writer, comic geek, podcaster, cosgeek, fiber gal, sewist, and bird observer.
#Spoonie friends, hold my hand and give me strength! Today was my final ebike-through-a-drive-thru treat day before my annual Social Hibernation starts. Took my KFC to the park and a 7 yo had some questions about my envomask. He backed up immediately to 6', so I was patient with the kid. Partway through walking away, he turned around and insistently pointed out that eating *healthy foods* would help my immune system. Wow. Entitlement to diet shaming and patient blaming starts *that* young?!
Nobilis ReedRemember when protesters in Portland were kidnapped in unmarked vans and the news cycle was so nuts it was not a big story? This should widely circulated 👇🏼 https://twitter.com/gizmodo/status/1588861712622825472

GiantMilitaryCatsI am so excited, as a dismayed biologist and as an immunocompromised person frustrated in searching for current info, that Your Local Epidemiologist has been hired as a consultant to help with the CDC's communication, erm, gap? Fail? Fall from previous standing?
Her newsletter has been a really good resource for me for the last few months. Recommend. https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/
In a more meaningful version of the common "What X makes you think of me?" FB game, what Mastodon server is suitable for *gestures at whole self* this?
A friend elsewhere posted 2 great new-to-Mastodon links. I'm probably going to migrate somewhere more specific to me soon, which should not alter anything for y'all. That info for those who also just joined "the main one" 4 years ago or recently: https://fediverse.party/en/portal/servers/?fbclid=IwAR31ytUQLwr10ZExOPVhmySKUlvKG31nHD2hNdfWIF6vw_fPnuEQ7dzh8Rk and https://wordsmith.social/elilla/a-futuristic-mastodon-introduction-for-2021?fbclid=IwAR2pDvbbHc0NFKTh8mUyRmj1YrgX_uDYKrFCiKm4os2LmBZs1_vNoFyFjc8

Unless there's a major turnaround in the next 24 hours, tomorrow we're losing our cat Robin the Feline Wonder, Dark Prince of Fluffiness, Doofus Extraordinaire. The week of steroids aren't working. Gonna miss you, buddy.
We came home from camping to a cat in severe health crisis. We have 5 more days of seeing if a round of steroids return his quality of life. The painkillers are already helping, but that's not a permanent solution and they aren't enough. So, um, I'm going to be pretty quiet this week.
