That’s my granddaughter.

Fully vaxxed EXCEPT for covid. Calls the first (of many) times she caught as ‘when I almost died’. She’s currently injecting one of the fun crop of weight loss drugs without a second thought because there aren’t any TikTok influencers who are telling her it’s dangerous.

I don’t agree with your tastes in food, but I agree, fuck New Jersey.

It’s great to have you back!

Far better than trying the Knifey-Spoony defense.

Always has been. They can slap on a genteel veneer with their faux progressive popes, but the structure is always the same.

Good point. The Behind the Bastards on her was pretty wild.

Is there any other kind?

You too :)

I foolishly had dental work done in 2023. LONG overdue.

The tech doing my x-rays had an n95, full face shield and gloves. The idiot dentist starts poking in my mouth with NO gloves and is completely unmasked.

The 3 years of being hyper cautious, getting every damned booster and treating every stranger as a plague vector down the drain. Thankfully only a week of what felt like one of the worst bouts of influenza I’ve had.

Still getting yearly boosters, still masking and still assuming that every one I run into in public is on a holy crusade to spread mega measles or the like.

I never stopped. And I damn well won’t be anytime soon.

A large enough proportion of the populace has deemed it their God Given Right to infect anyone and everyone under the doctrine of “It’s Just the Flu, Bro”.
