Plague Diary: Tuesday Scares Me

[lydy]

So, I have an emotional support Discord server.  What with the Plague and all, I can't really invite people over to get drunk and watch the returns, so I'm pasting an invite link here, below.  The link should be good for the next week.  If you want to come hang out in my space and talk about the results as they come in, that'd be nifty.  I set up a channel for that discussion.   I expect everyone to be kind, and I expect no one to be in favor of Trump.  If you are a Trump supporter, please don't come over there.  If you do, I'll bounce you.

The rest of life is, well, chugging along in its usual fashion.  I had some basic medical tests which were expensive, but show that my internal organs are mostly doing what all they are supposed to do, modulo being sixty-two.  Colonoscopy prep was significantly improved by the installation of a cheap bidet.  (Thank you, David!)

I assume the stress will not kill me between now and Tuesday, so hopefully I'll see some of you on my Discord then.  Be well.  Volunteer if you can.  Vote.  My life depends on it.

Here's the invite link:

I would offer to participate but I'll (hopefully) be on the road to El Paso. Early flight Wednesday to DC for a resumption of my annual visits to NIH.

Hopefully because our lodger is sick and we have no idea whether or not it's Covid, which would stand a high chance of utterly fucking up my plans, plus my wife is working the election.

So you mean, on Tuesday evening and forward from that?

I have Discord from the discussion session at online Mythcons, so I may give this a try.

My health, too, yes my very life may be at stake, for DT has expressed the utmost loathing for people like me, and the last time someone who talked like him came to power, the likes of me had our civil rights stripped within 5 years and were in concentration camps within a decade.

I'm working the polls on Tuesday and expect not to have the ability to Discord, but I would if I could, as it is exactly the direction of thing I also find reassuring. I hope it goes well and I hope it's a good way to get through the day.

Hard to say

I'm not a great Discord fan, but I will see. I'm so uncertain we'll know by the end of day with the SC fluttering on the sidelines, and all the batshit crazy MAGA lawyers waiting in the wings. Still, it sounds nicer than refreshing X and the drone of YouTube pundits.

Thank you! That will be as nice as possible under the circumstances.

I'm glad the colonoscopy results were fine. I'd lost track of the schedule.
