The WHO was really on their game when they employed the reverse "got a hammer" response.

Have hammer, everything's a nail!

No masks, NOTHING could possibly be airborne!

Ugh, RIGHT?! Let’s reverse engineer our facts. We’re just the pre-eminent worldwide health agency. Nothing to see here!

BUT, those were Sweet Italian!

And can I have your Taylor Swift albums? I'm going through a phase.

I do love those sausages! Just…not when they’re melted into penis shape 🍆😂.

Fortunately I do not own any T. Swift. These listens have all been on Spotify. And also, lest anyone think I’m a musical snob, I like plenty of tacky musical acts: Coldplay, the Gin Blossoms…I even really do like that one hit by Nickelback 🤦🏼‍♀️😎

I kinda knew there weren't any albums to be shared. 😕

I'm like 8-track/mix-tape old. RCA cassette of the month club old.

Not to worry, even my 29 yo niece isn't a Swift fan.

I’m thinking you should let Moira take a picture with Fritzy—much much safer.

Ha! That comment took me a minute, but then I almost spit out my coffee 😆. Fritzy’s indeed a slug when it comes to sleep. Very selfie-safe.

I have a small inkling I might (might) be suffering from some long covid symptoms and it gave me great comfort knowing I have your stack as a resource if I do. Thank you 🙏🏼

Just say no to peen shaped links, bear selfies, half assed science, and music that just doesn’t do it for us. I don’t dislike TSwift or Bey but I feel the same apathy as you for the music. However I do have an anti-anxiety work playlist that is 30% Coldplay so we don’t get to feel superior 😜

Did you see my comment to Shayne? It included Coldplay 🤦🏼‍♀️. I agree - I don’t hate T. Swift’s or Beyoncé’s music. I just don’t get the hysteria over it.

Oh nooooo re: long COVID. DM me anytime you want. I’m here for my Substack book-bestie anytime.

I was like, “if she didn’t see my Coldplay comment, that’s an amazing coincidence.” 😆

Also the stretched out arms is my very favorite. It’s such a luxurious way to lay

A wealth of resources! I’m grateful you devote some of your spoons to getting all this info out there. And thank you for sharing Unfixed. What a treat to see this pop up in my notifications today.

In a few months, I’ll be starting a new ME/CFS project with a friend and we’ll be looking for a collection of subjects. I’ll explain more as we enter pre-production and circle back to hear if you’re interested in joining!
