@Wizz I started to feel differently about Harry Potter when all the shit with JK started. Then I realized something: this is a fandom that is almost entirely taken over by the fans. And Harry Potter fans have pretty much taken over everything and rejected JK Rowling's bullshit. It's genuinely heartwarming to watch.

I do understand where you're coming from, but Harry Potter as a story took on its own life, independent of its creator, and as a community, the challenge has been and is being met.

I hope that helps, but if it doesn't, I understand that, too.

@mietze You're a good mom!

Pugmire/Monarchs of Mau.

@Macha I'm so sorry. I understand, and I'm thinking of you.

@mietze Don't sell yourself short, you're having to be polite to people who are massively stressed. And you're also taking on their problems, too, because you care that much. You're not weak OR stupid, you're compassionate and kind.

As long as there's a place that sells cabbages.

@SinCerely Sorry! I hit 'reply' in the wrong area. And I'm too lazy to edit it.

@SinCerely And should have! I've tried to make a mask like that. I discovered several things.

1. My sewing skills are not NEARLY advanced enough to make that kind of mask.
2. My mom was right: curved seams are the DEVIL.
3. I still don't really know much on how to sew and still want to take classes in it!

Gorgeous mask!

@Derp I'm looking forward to that, too.

@mietze That's what child labor is for!!!! However, congratulations!

@silverfox I'm in the same boat: I had no idea that the book forum existed or how to access it.

So did I. Really loudly.

@Wretched I'll never understand people's fear of brown eggs. They're the best!

So, my company is being pretty proactive about cleaning EVERYTHING, multiple times a day. (Seriously, we got a huge shipment of Clorox wipes today, on top of the shipment of Lysol wipes we got, and everything's getting wiped down a lot. There's also reminders everywhere to wash your hands, sneeze/cough into your elbow, don't touch people, stay home if you're sick, etc.)

I found out today that one person went to a big banquet who may have been exposed to the virus. And I don't know who it was, or who they came in contact with. All of this may be for nothing because one person was a selfish douchebag.

And this means I probably won't see my sister for a few weeks because she's a home health care nurse and I canNOT expose her, it could mean her patient's death. Because one guy couldn't skip a banquet.

I'm not panicking. But I'm /furious/. Especially since some of the people at my company think this is a big to-do over nothing.

@Auspice Clearly, what she wants is for everyone to beg her to keep control. Be aware that if someone recommends that A should run it instead, she is going to throw a shitfit.

I'm sorry and not sorry about the end of The Good Place, but yeah. I'm ugly-crying. Fuck.

@Auspice Query: how is the person on the other end supposed to know that you worked as a tech? Did you offer him your resume?

@mietze They're not bad. I kind of adjusted to mine in less than five minutes. (I have progressives.)

Allegedly.
