Doctor: "You need to manage your stress better. Here's a referral."

Therapist: "We have a 3 month waiting list."

Me: "Cool. Cool."

I mean, I'm sure I'll need it in three months time too.

Every therapist I've talked to since the crisis patiently listens to my concerns and what I have to say then tells me I'm not wrong but try not to think about it.

For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?

People like to fantasize about what the collapse of the US will look like and imagine it being some huge, cataclysmic event.

But it won’t be. It’ll be a flood of small, unforeseen, isolated failures like this. They’ll force population shift that will put strain on the system and create even more small, unforeseen, isolated collapses.

The places that survive will be the ones with enough existing institutional stability to weather and stabilize it. But as the displaced move and crowd into cities, the same impulses that led them to destroy their old homes will infect their new ones.

Florida is not a place; it is a mindset. And it will move north.

this kid walked up to me and was like man schmitty your stache is ghetto and I was like whatever man your 3b look like a dishrag.

he was like damn.

as mad as I am at the CDC from this, gently caress the Washington Post for getting a quote from Ezekiel Emanuel, the Kill Em All bioethicist, and for burying this incredibly obvious line 5 paragraphs before the end:

WaPo posted:

The collection of such data is also easier in many other countries with nationalized health and data systems: Singapore, Israel and the United Kingdom, for instance, routinely collect and analyze data on a population level.

“Our for-profit health-care system is really a patchwork of different systems that don’t talk to each other,” said Edward Belongia, an infectious-disease epidemiologist at Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Wisconsin. “To do these studies, we have to create these networks where people are sharing data, and that puts us at a relative disadvantage.”

Oh really, the capitalist hellscape that privatizes everything screws over your ability to see the big picture?????

by unwittingly inducing oppositional defiant disorder in roughly half of the population of our nation, we may have gotten ourselves into a bit of a sticky wicket.

I have no doubt he'll win, but with so many of his supporters dead or dying in hospitals and *checks notes* libraries, I'm not so sure it will be a landslide.
We still have a long ways to go 'till next November, and barring some kind of fairly literal miracle things will only be getting worse in general, and especially in places like Florida.

Unfortunately, due to to concerns regarding the rising cases of Covid, District leadership has requested that schools hold any back-to-school events outside if possible.

We will still be having Meet the Teacher Night in our circle drive. We will have a snow cone truck, Teachers, and places to leave your school supplies. New students to the school will still have the choice to walk through and tour their classroom with one of our staff.

Wearing a mask is caring for everyone and we'll see you on Monday!

every single official from the top down that's in charge of any person at the CDC needs to be removed. the entire organization is corrupt and untrustworthy from top to bottom

remember 9 months ago when the biden admin took over the CDC and a bunch of career folks there fled? or when right before the mask mandate change in may some of the top CDC career officials fled again?

the entire CDC needs to go
