Friends: in light of recent news, may I encourage you to get the Shingles Vaccine if you are eligible (over 50 or have immune system issues) and encourage others in your life to get it.

Shingles took me out for two whole months last year and was incredibly painful. I still have intermittent nerve pain in my face that wakes me up in the middle of the night.

@pluralistic : "We’re all living through the *enshittocene*, a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit."

Well, that is, except for swag from EFF.
