I will; no worries.
The worst thing they said was to say, ach itās just the flu. Which I know can be debilitating, donāt get me wrong. But, at the same time, itās so dismissive. Itās primarily the brain impact Iām concerned about, also the heart – dementia is something Iām all too familiar with. Iām encountering too many with, for want of a better term āCovidā brain: wee ones too; not just an age thing.
Ta for all you said about the abuse in Canadian industrial schools btw.
Thank you Todd and Ben and Christian. It’s reassuring to know that some people can look past the bullshit and focus on the facts.
In spite of the US Government telling me that COVID is over, I will continue to wear a mask on public transportation in the NYC metropolitan area. I will do what I think is right for me and for the people in my household.
Ta great pirate-y cousin Uncle Bulgaria!
I was on a train the other day – only one still wearing a mask. Even most of my medics are abandoning them now. I hate them, but they do work. And I do get it: itās a combination of cognitive dissonance / exhaustion /propaganda, etc. The plague is still out there plaguing.
I sometimes feel like the train is leaving the likes of me behind. Youāve just earned yourself a train song filled with doggies and some bonus floofy chooks:

I have come to the conclusion that the most accurate depiction of social media and bad faith reality/discourse is The 2 Ronniesā Four Candles sketch. Go watch if you havenāt.
There is also a slight possibility that reality is drunk (I hugged Batman and encountered Oscar Poe + Jerry is my Auntie twice removed on my very, very distant Pirate Queenās side. Hope you and yours keeping well, Jerry).
Just in case, no worries, just a wee bit crook, will one of yous look out for Tim and Simon for me. Just send them the odd pupsy pic now and then. Thatās all I ask. (On that note, very Ā sad news about Paul/Lily).
Oh, and did Miqque get his bench? Or a tree. I hope so.
May the forks be with you, Ben
*waves* to Gar for accommodating all this.
I hugged Batman! 
Thatās so stupid.
Lance Reddick.
Omar is coming to the gate, and will be there for him.
I hope
That last post was intended for Jerry. (Iām just about ready to lob my fĆ³n out the window).
Iām almost always right, Gar. I reckon the North has been used as a testing ground to see what other territories would put up with (allegedly). Even saying that is a tad reductive.
Oh, Iām only here for a wee while.
Weāre both related to an Irish pirate queen. Only very distantly, but still.
Aaaaarghhh!!! š¦
Oh yay! Reply button back.
I could not give a flying fuck what the cause is. (I only know for sure it wasnāt Robert Batty-Pattississon š¦)
Canāt control all those who have taken advantage with their co-opting of the poor & sick & marginalised via crappy PPE, etc.
Utter disgrace. (Oh shut up, silly phone: I said disgrace, NOT Disney: whole other story of monetisation – btw I still adore Disney stuff if the lawyers are listening).
I hate them, but all I can say is wear a mask you numpties, otherwise youāre leaving the likes of me behind. Plus they protect you too
P.S. My poor wee fĆ³n must be banjaxed. Wonāt currently let me reply directly to posts.
Youāre far away from Wales, Gar, so not your fault youāre misinformed. You donāt need to cross over any ocean. No one across the water in the North of Ireland can vote without photo id: just another form of gerrymandering (I donāt mean you, Jerry, obviously)
Knock it off with all the dumb conspiracy crap. (And yes, I do get it: uncertain, conflict-y times your monkey brains are looking for patterns). Divide & conquer – oldest trick in the book.
The truth will owt eventually. Whatever the cause. No matter. Mo DhaidĆ still dead. Farm gone. Home gone. Ā And so many friends/acquaintances Iāve actually lost count (only ācos Iāve met so many people). And now I sound all grumpy. Not usually so grumpy.
Not right to blame a single country (so-called āSpanishā flu; Iām thinking of you – oh I give up, but itās funny too – stupid autocorrect and me all š„° doggies thought I meant Spaniel!
Also, wear a mask because they do protect.
And, wherever njerry is, he my very distant cousin 
Thank you kindly, Jessy for the update and for everything you continue to do to look after Miqque. He must’ve been very proud to count you as a friend. I miss him very much. I hope yourself is keeping well.
Shattering news. I’m in bits. Such presence, and, indeed, a present to all who were blessed to know him – it’s difficult to think of Miqque in the past tense. Miqque was a dote, and I doted on him. He was uniquely Miqque. He actively listened. You could see it in his octagonal way of riffing off of others’ posts with his own stories. Offered advice only when asked for. Miqque-mental. Non-judgmental. He was all about community and communication. He had all the twinkle of a starbright mountain sky.
Rest easy, Miqque. The world’s a whole lot dimmer, now you no more are here; but we can all shine a wee bit brighter in your stead.
I’m raising a glass to you now with grĆ”. (So fill to me the parting glass…)
