    @jensorensen Really? I had never heard of people spitting out pomegranate seeds. Then I asked Mrs Spocko, she grew up in California & had access to pomegranates growing up. She said a lot of times they weren't ripe so they would spit out the seeds. Also, they were kids so they liked to spit things at each other! So now I'm imagining a young Jen spitting pomegranate seeds at other kids. Is there is there a cartoon there somewhere? Probably not. I'll bet you get lame suggestions all the time.

    @jensorensen Sort of the Normal People Militia.

    Any discomfort from the COVID & flu shots? The early ones knocked me flat as a flour tortilla.

    @weezmgk The flu shot never gives me any trouble, but this year's COVID shot knocked me off my feet for longer than usual (since the first year or so).

    @jensorensen wow, sorry to hear it Jen. My experience is the same as yours.First couple C19 doses were rough, down for a week. No probs with the Flu shot ever, but it is one I am veery careful not to miss. I forgot it 3 yrs ago and got hit with Flu(A) Sick for a month with a dry cough. Never again.

    Love your work, so glad you're here on the Heffalump. 😃 👍

    @jensorensen

    Randomly browsing Mastodon and get a comic giving actual good lifestyle advice outta nowhere. I didn't ask for this, but thank you anyway.

    @jensorensen #AltText
    A four panel comic titled "Real Life Prepping."

    Panel One's caption is "Arm yourself with antibodies." It shows a woman getting jabbed in the upper arm by a nurse while saying "Today I'm stockpiling ammo against biological agents." There's a sign on the wall behind them that says "Covid and Flu shots today."

    Panel Two shows a man in a car putting on his seatbelt with a grim, battle-ready expression, and the caption "employ tactical body protection."

    Panel Three is a woman putting on SPF 50 sunscreen, with the caption "Utilize radiation cloaking technology." The sunscreen bottle is making a "splorp" noise as it's shaken upside down.

    Panel Four is a man at a table with fruit, leafy greens, and a box of berries. He's triumphantly holding up a broccoli and saying "No plaque is stopping my hemoglobin army". The caption is "Consume high grade life fuel for battle readiness."

    @jensorensen I made the tactical mistake of getting my vaccines on Indigenous People's Day. The normal 3-4 person line and 10 minute wait stretched into over 90 minutes as I waited in line with a lot of seniors and moms with kids. I haven't seen so many hearing aids in one place since my audiologist's waiting room.

    I told the 10yo girl awaiting her Flu shot to ask for a Spiderman BandAid from the nurse. I don't know why I bother. They're always out. Last year a nurse had the temerity to offer me Batman stickers when I asked.
