Probably the only good thing that came from online school is that I can have tea all day. Things are better this way. :)

Busywork is like a cat. The more you pay attention to them, the less they'll pay attention to you. Ignore them or do something else for just a minute and they'll start hogging up your attention
What if America, but hyper progressive? Universal healthcare, Walkable cities, outdoor culture, and $1 Trillion military budget because we're the best. CIA love Teddy Roosevelt and the environment enough to torture Oil executives. Our conservatives shoot Klansmen, our liberals punch Nazis

Big day for them today.

You know some people have really ugly, ugly noses. They should think about extending this mask thing.

Theoretically, I probably could, but I do want to learn and I couldn't from bed. But I do use the few minutes between classes to read now, and I do have my tea, so it's pretty nice even without being in bed.

I know; it's like they're not even trying. I also dislike the people who cite "breathing problems" as their reason for not wearing a mask (while talking a mile a minute to their friend, with no apparent need to pause for air).

This mask exemption scheme really needs someone to oversee it; I'm pretty sure the self-certification is being abused.

As someone with actual breathing problems I can tell you that just about everyone who says that as an excuse is a lying liar.

I have actual breathing problems, too. I still wear a mask when I'm out (the only time I couldn't keep one on was during a hospital stay; my oxygen levels got too low, and so I was told not to wear it when in my side-room). It does become constricting after awhile, but the inhaler is usually sufficient on short trips.

I am considering investing in a visor, though, so -- if I ever really, truly can't breathe to wear a mask and must go out -- I can still cover my face with something.

Holy crap, I got my first full odds shiny Pokémon in almost a decade today completely randomly.

The irony being that it's in my Cute Charm glitch game so it's not like I needed it.
