Jul 19, 2026, 8:35 PMGonna start using "During COVID" correctly to irritate people. "Yeah, this morning, During COVID, I walked the dog. A short one, though, these wildfires." "Sure, I filed my taxes During COVID, in 2025." "Wanna have a masked hang later today, During COVID?"
Bill Maher last night was talking disparagingly about people still wearing masks. He doesn't seem aware that Covid still exists; other airborne illnesses exist; wild fires give us smokey air

Aug 3, 2026, 2:46 AM@libramoon @evelynf Unfortunately the masks people wear for disease don't really do much for smoke. When I'm wearing a KN95 mask I can still smell people smoking, after all...

Doesn't do much for VOCs but I was getting way less particulate matter with an N95 on. But I would've been wearing one anyway.
@evelynf You have a short dog?

I'm a big fan of adding the phrase "during the ongoing pandemic" to my sentences during the ongoing pandemic.
