Just spotted a sleek black Lambo around the corner from my house. Getting some Ferris Bueller impulses #vroomvroom

I’m out in the smoke again and just passed a dude wearing a Bladerunner 2049 shirt.
The café where I’m grabbing dinner is playing an easy listening version of Sweet Child o’ Mine. #old #wtf #imeanwtaf
There is some serious fashion on display here in New York today. People are not playing around 💅🏻
Having De La Soul back on streaming is like a Gen X holiday. Feels like I just threw all the windows open in my apartment and now there's fresh air flowing through. 🎶
The burdens of explanation and understanding are not equally distributed here. If it were me, I would have said, "How thoughtless of me! Of course. Let's do XYZ instead." That simple acknowledgment just doesn't come. I'm blessed to have one friend here who gets it 100%. It's so nice not having to constantly relitigate everything when we hang out. We can just hang out—safely.
Related to that last boost, I am so tired of having to keep explaining to so many dear friends—who want nothing but the best for me—why my chronic illness makes it unsafe for me to risk covid exposure. To a person, they are all like, "Yeah, no, I get it! We can do something safe!" and then they turn right around and propose an activity that requires hanging out indoors. The last time this happened, I explained that I couldn't and got no response at all.
Plague PoemsI am blessed
to have such good friends
the type who respect
my decisions
and would never pressure me
to drink or smoke
yes, I am blessed
to have such good friends
though I wish that they
would not keep pressuring me
to go out with them
and catch the virus.

I've noticed a slight uptick in Facebook friend requests from men I don't know and have never heard of. I wonder, do these fake men ever end up connecting with fake women? If so, what happens when they connect? Is it a great phish-off in which each fake account tries ever more devious and clever ways to dupe the other into forking over money, etc?
That feeling when you hear the unmistakable sound of your cat puking in the other room and you go over to clean it up only to find your cat sitting a few feet away from the mess, looking at you disapprovingly as though you did it
