That all said I do think how we culturally and governmental policy discuss the topic of disease prevention (masks, vaccination, the important step of washing your hands) has been largely a feast of ashes and regret

I might be wrong in my way of thinking but *shrugs* there it is in general.

Hopefully all have noticed the very self involved way I have spoken on this matter.

So for wearing a mask is an act to avoid other people getting ill with things I might be carrying. Even if it only decreases infecting others by 5% or 10% that seems worthwhile as wearing a mask is not an imposition for me in daily life.

To be faie I tend to treat vaccination the same way: a way to decrease others getting ill and becoming less of a vector.

I will admit as a furry a chance to wear silly animal faces is also fun.

My general opinion is I am not a virologist or expert (though I dabble due to interest I doubt I could be considered a hobbyist)

My very general view is that masks CAN work depending on type, time, place. However, my general view is also poor protection against getting ill (for one thing our eyes are lovely vectors for viral infection).

Rather it is a tool to avoid others getting ill. As in by wearing one I might be able to stop infecting other people.

I secured this year's luminarias. 144 of them to spread over six (6) houses

I am sure there are a ton of misconceptions as well and no idea how to dig into it but: which cons started the traditon? Who picked it up? Etc

We are raising as a community a huge amount of money for very worthy causes . How did that begin and where?

You know I think it qould be fascinating to dig deep into the history of fur con charitable giving. How it got started, the traditions, the choices

Ah I had to mute them as well I see

I feel like if I block someone they shouldnt still show up on my feed even if boosted by a mutual but eeeeh maybe my system is just being buggy

Suspense can be light hearted and comedic. Its all in pacing and framing. Its just writing comedy is hard as comedy is deeply dependant on timing

Honestly it boggles my mind that they packaged these books this way but J really enjoyed them so *shrug*

Sometimes when eating particularly large burritos I whisper "I feel like icarus realizing he was flying too close to the sun" before my first bite

Like an idiot I forgot to schedule a supershuttle for when I landed desoite knowing it would be around midnight
