You know what’s fucked? As people keep going out and acting like covid isn’t a big deal, my nurse friends and I (in our 20s) are contemplating whether it’s time to get our wills drawn up. Because we know not all of us will make it. Hope you had fun at the beach, Karen.

You're still you. And your passions haven't changed. If anything, now is the most important time to put them out there. To show your viewers that the world hasn't ended and there's still beauty and comedy to share. 👊

I was talking to my gma on the phone about everything and joked it’s easy for John and me to social distance because we don’t have friends to begin with and she just didn’t know how to respond “Well... ummmm...” 🤣🤣🤣 Truth inspired sarcasm doesn’t translate well across gens.

Given all meetups have gone online, is it open for folks from other locations too? It would be a good chance for people not from the regular spots to join in.

Yes absolutely! Keep an eye on https://events.indieweb.org for dates and times. We renamed the SF and San Diego ones to just "west coast" because they were at the same time, and I suspect other areas will follow suit too

So there are bathroom vent fans with built-in Bluetooth speakers. I know this because one of my neighbors has one, and it's unsecured.

I also know they just turned it off, because Baby Shark just jumped back to my own speakers.

That was a fun but small happy hour gathering. Maybe doing one of these weekly would be a good idea. It'd have to be in the late afternoon/evening Pacific time. Let's see what the interest is for time of day… WHEN WOULD YOU MOST LIKELY JOIN AN ONLINE HAPPY HOUR?
