Lapsed academic due to lack of COVID mitigations. PhD in feminism & literature, now writing fiction. Caring for a long COVID teen while unwell myself (it's hell).

How they landed this thing on the short runway of a small regional airport is beyond me.23 Nov 2024 00:11 +0000at://did:plc:wof4njgywwfofivk7pxvj7o7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbl7ey5bf22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/lollyfoot.bsky.social/post/3lb7s5f2vwc2tI'm printing this out to hand to HCWs who won't mask. This year alone my family was refused by multiple nurses, an ER doc, two sonographers, a lung specialist, a gynecologist & most shockingly, a radiation oncologist. And when people did mask, it was often grudgingly. So f*cking exhausting.

So tonight I'm thinking of adding 4 x t-shirts, a hoodie & 2 pairs of pj pants. Maybe a hot water bottle. Can't complain though. What a room.29 Sep 2023 11:26 +0000at://did:plc:wof4njgywwfofivk7pxvj7o7/app.bsky.feed.post/3kajqtcmw2l2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/lollyfoot.bsky.social/post/3k7skv5hmpq23It's a good day for Bluesky today. I'm so happy to see so many friends here. Pretty sure this will eventually become my preferred platform. It's a shame there's no DM function though, and I was shocked to read that your blocks aren't private.20 Sep 2023 06:09 +0000at://did:plc:wof4njgywwfofivk7pxvj7o7/app.bsky.feed.post/3k7skv5hmpq23https://bsky.app/profile/lollyfoot.bsky.social/post/3k5k47notbq23After Musk's tech was deployed in Ukraine, he had a change of heart, personal conversations with Putin & mooted a pro-Russian peace plan. Then Ukrainian forces crossed the front line & Starlink coms died. So did Ukrainian fighters. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-shadow-rule22 Aug 2023 10:34 +0000at://did:plc:wof4njgywwfofivk7pxvj7o7/app.bsky.feed.post/3k5k47notbq23https://bsky.app/profile/lollyfoot.bsky.social/post/3k3e4n6vwcb2zThe teen went out to dinner with a group of acquaintances tonight. I was concerned she'd eaten indoors. Nope. She wore a mask inside to order, and then then grabbed a table outdoors. I'm proud of her. This is difficult enough for adults.25 Jul 2023 14:35 +0000at://did:plc:wof4njgywwfofivk7pxvj7o7/app.bsky.feed.post/3k3e4n6vwcb2z
