    Hearing my colleagues talk about how they’re traveling to see family all across the US in the next week :yea:

    Edit: hearing about how close to capacity NHS England already is is pretty horrific, ngl. Especially when a million cases a day is being seriously mentioned. There’s going to be a lot of death, even if Omicron turns out to be milder (which is unclear, as there’s conflicting evidence between Denmark and South Africa right now).

    It goes without saying, but for the love of :lenin-laugh: , make sure y’all are boosted and are cautious about spending time indoors in groups right now. The doubling rate of Omicron is 2 days, hence the insane growth in the UK - it will take off like a rocket here too.

      Instant gratification has to be an absolute mental poison. I'm guilty of it too, but this sheer apathy of the world around them because treatflow is ridiculous.

      How many layers of privilege is one on where they can tell themselves "since I do not like the consequences of this thing being true, it is therefore false."
