I just read in WaPo that Stafford High School (about an hour south of here) has 1,000 of its 2100 students out sick. At the same time.

Someone canvassing for Abbott just rang our doorbell and when MH saw their shirt on the camera he said, “not you!” And went to politely tell them to fuck off instead of the more aggressive thoughts I had ready to share.

A lady was here last week to canvas for the local GOP candidates and I didn't get to the door in time due to my toddler toddlering. I was half relieved I didn't because I know I would have likely blurted out something rude, and half disappointed I didn't get the chance. lol

The RSV situation is really scary. It’s very early. I’m not hearing the same thing on the west coast yet but I’ll keep an ear out. We’ve had lots of colds going around but nothing spiking like flu or RSV.

I'm surprised they're bothering. If I was one of them I would assume there's no reason to do this since he's clearly doing such an amazing job /s

I am fighting with someone on a friend's post regarding abortion and I've used "Google is free" and "Intentionally obtuse" in replies to him already. I love this place for fun phrases. And learning. And I'm all caught up for the first time in forever.

There was a shooting at Methodist hospital in Dallas, 2 nurses/staff shot, one died. Suspect in custody. This happened on the maternity ward which are locked units.
This is one of my biggest fears at work. People think it won't happen in our type of unit or that we are safe because its locked but it's actually one of the higher risk areas.
ETA: it's being reported now that both have died.

I'm not even mad about all the government agencies subtweeting Taylor Swift. It's plain funny.

Have any of you seen the speculation that TFG is considering a certain congresswoman from Georgia as his running mate for '24?
No idea if it's true or not, but JFC to that pairing.

I'm sorry, nelzie. It is horrifying how many of us can relate to various shootings.

We’ve had lots of colds going around but nothing spiking like flu or RSV. We’re the same here. Definitely more colds and illnesses, as it’s the first real unmasked school year since before this pandemic. But my friend did say the RSV cases are more prevalent. This week is the first week it will drop in temp now so I imagine things will take a turn. Usually we have some major flu, Covid, or something just after Halloween.
