Jebus, that's a lot of people claiming divine energies for me. :o

I believe, very strongly, that certain people need to be bitten. Bitings are Very Important.

Thank you.

It's not very well known, but Einstein had a basketball career in between breakthrough physics advancements. He was known to be unruly on the court and prone to distraction, however, and was ultimately suspended from play indefinitely after insisting on the middle of a championship match that the entire opposing team participate in one of his infamous GetDunked experiments.

Suddenly realizing that it's been fifteen years since I first met that fucking monster. Like, fifteen years sometime this week. And all I want to do is open up a chat with him and just start screaming.

Instead, I will be good, and angrily eat ice cream.

That 'what energy do I have' quiz 

Wow, I just had a flashback to the old Livejournal memes and quizzes.

Anyway... here goes? No wrong answers, possibly no correct answers either - dragon is not on the list after all.

my brain is stupid (~) 

Brain: Hey, it's a scary time and you should check in with people you care about to make sure they're doing okay.

Me: Yeah, that's a good idea.

Brain: Why not Him? It's been years since you've spoken.

Me: That Monster. Are you serious?

Brain: Yeah.

Me: I have been trying to train you to be better than this for five years now.

Brain: ...What?

Me: Yeah, we're not doing that.

covid-related GoFundMe 

Closing public places makes it harder than ever for houseless people to wash their hands as often as needed. So let's buy some handwashing stations for the encampments that have been overlooked by official public health efforts.

If it helps your trust: I know one of the people involved in this fundraiser and just threw $20 at it myself.

Seattle Area: COVID-19 Grocery/Supply Mutual Aid! (Update) 

This thing is lit.
They have more volunteers than people requesting aid at the moment. An activist group that spawned out of necessity and has grown into a full-bown aid logistics service practically overnight. :blob_aww:

They have the capacity to help a lot more people than they're helping right now. The best thing we can do to help them is get the word out! :blobcheer:

ken burns style letters about WFH, threats of violence to an imaginary cameraperson 

My Dearest Dorothy,

Today is the ninth day of working from home. I have forgotten the taste of of the snacks in the cabinet at the office. They say that we are fighting bravely, but truth be told I have not seen the enemy yet. Though we are well-stocked with toilet paper thanks to Providence, our other supplies are running low. I fear we will run out of chocolate-covered almonds completely the next time I get the munchies. Time plays funny tricks and seems to take forever to pass compared to the office, which I sorely miss. It seems now I must take my leave, as it is my turn to beat the cameraperson. They are panning repeatedly across sepia-toned photos, zooming in and out without rhyme nor reason, and we are told that we must belabor them about the head and shoulders with something large and heavy whenever they do this. I shall use my company laptop.

Yours in these Trying Times,
Soreth
