BrianKrebsA short story about getting the COVID vaccine in Virginia. Having read a WaPo story about how CVS was bucking the trend in VA -- which is to require a prescription or note from a doctor about a pre-existing condition for anyone 18-64 years of age -- we decided to try CVS. Confusingly, WaPo's US map of state policies on COVID coverage shows that in Virginia it is available without a prescription. Which is technically true, because the state has recently clarified that it's up to the pharmacist to make the decision about who should be eligible based on preexisting conditions.
The Post story said people from VA were flocking to MD, which is also listed as not requiring a prescription. So my wife went ahead and made an appointment at the CVS minute clinic, and when we got there the lady running the clinic said no, we have to have a doctor's note or proof of a preexisting condition that could be worsened by getting COVID.
Thankfully (not really) both of us are taking pills that weaken your immune system, and we were able to cite those conditions. My wife even had the pills in her purse because we'd just picked them up. The woman said she wasn't sure that would fly with the insurance, but she gave us the shots anyway.
But really, all this jumping through hoops to get a vaccine is pointless and will just end up killing more people.

Everything did turn out alright. Thank you, Brian, for all your music has meant in my life.
Kate 🙃Hey, FediFriends! As some of y'all know, my team was recently laid off and I'm having to dive back into the job market after almost 8 years at 1Password. I have a really diverse background, including leadership and IC roles in both QA and Customer Support. I also have experience as a lawyer so I would be a particular asset at a legal tech company. If you or anyone you know is hiring in these spaces, I'd love to hear about it! Boosts welcome and appreciated. 💜 #fedihired
Merlin's Wisdom ProjectEvery few months, take at least one panorama photo of your kid's room. At least annually, secretly record your kid talking for at least ten minutes. I promise you'll treasure both, and then you will curse yourself for not having done each way more often.

So, criminal immigrants are buying up all the good houses? I’m so confused.
Kim ScheinbergOh shut the fuck up. Citizens are not competing with recent immigrants for scarce homes. They're competing with Wall St
