I have a few vaccine side effects. I would characterize two of them as level two and one as level one. I mostly went about business today but I am a woman. I can see how this might fell men. 😉
It actually feels like a moderate amount of PMS discomfort but nowhere near severe cramps or contractions. Fever, chills, nausea.
I have a horrible attitude though. Skipped working out. Not interested in food AT ALL and going back to bed as soon as the #?!% sun stops shining.
PMS + a touch more than a little morning sickness 🤒

“I am contacting you because you don’t have a public facing email on the website!”

Now ask yourself if you think that’s a mistake...
If a Very Online Person doesn’t have an easy to find email, what do you think that means for this whole transaction?
It is ALWAYS a man.

Before and After. #vaccinated
All these tweets are now safe.

Not that I ever gave it serious second thought but even if this vaccine poisons us all, being poisoned along with everyone else greatly increase odds (and profitability) of treatments being created.
So get stuck already, just as soon as you can.

I called my mother. (Isn’t this where every story begins???) Off top she chooses violence.

“So when you post those work out pictures on Facebook? Does that mean...you did the exercise?
“You mean the auto-post fitness app images with my name and stats on them? Yes. I...did the exercises.”

“Oh.”
“You mean that for four months you’ve thought that I posted random exercise pictures of strangers every day? Do I understand?”

Let me talk to you about the trauma of academia. LOL I was knee-deep in the research phase for the Dolly essay. I wanted to talk to some of the authors I was reading. One day, a friend said, "you could...email them." And I was like:
Had never occurred to me. I'm so special. Some of that reading, by the way:
I have wanted an excuse to talk to @CharlesLHughes2 for a good long while. I had one big question for him: why didn't Dolly have a "soul" phase? That led to some interesting insights that I will be talking about more in the future.

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with the Dolly essay! You, uh, shared it A Lot. 😘

Let's talk a little about the community that essay announced: essaying.

If you ask me out for a good time, I will go along with most anything you want to do. I am a libra, after all. But if you ask me to show you a good time, I'll invite you to a ridiculous dinner with wild cocktails and soft chairs and hours of talking about life.
Basically, #essaying is my idea of showing you a good time. With a secret plan to ruin you for everything basic.

I met a very cute only slightly hoodish (cis white) single man who lives on a tree farm. I know when god is speaking to me.

If you are a: single white-ish city woman who works too much & needs to smell the roses on a tree farm, get at me. I've got the guy for you.
Be sure to include an essay on your willingness to open a general store in this economy and if you have ever gotten powdered sugar on your nose.
Or been in a snowball fight as an adult. Or still believe in Santa.
