Nerdin' out moment for non-Americans: if you see event times marked as "EST", about 99% of the time this corresponds to the IANA time zone of "America/New York". Yes, for a lot of the year this is actually "EDT" and has daylight savings applied, but nobody much seems to care to distinguish that lol

Just because I can't in good conscience let a statement stand, doesn't mean I'm interested in a debate or discussion. It's exhausting, and nearly anything I'd have to say about anything important has already been said better by someone else more qualified.

once again, I am betrayed by my own heart

When I was in Hamburg, I was being goofy with some friends, forgot I was wearing a backpack, and lost my balance. Ended up sliding a few feet on my knees on that textured pavement between the bike paths and the sidewalk. Got some nasty scrapes, but no regrets. It was hilarious.

thinking about how if we say "it isn't worth it to us to try and hang out with people who don't mask" that makes us an unreasonable neurotic who needs to get over it, but there aren't similar stigmas against people saying "it isn't worth it to me to mask anymore"
