Sunday, Day 0, Back onto the bullshit

Plague news:

  • 11 174 new cases
  • 62 919 total active cases
  • 365 hospitalisations
  • 17 in the ICU

Vax news:

  • Not available because the data is 404'd

URGH I hate that I can't update the stats nor easily compare the states and territories.

I am back to early bedtimes because Long Monday is back on because D&D. I do these things to myself...

Good news on a personal level:
- I am now a Twitch Affiliate! Yay... ::curlytoot noise:: - My editor is back to business. WOOOT!

Which means I can set up bells and whistles on my stream henceforth. At a later date.

And also that I can get back to fixing up Adapting and get it in line for publication. Huzzah. Which will eventually mean that I have to learn how to sell myself my work to people.

I wanted to do this. I wanted to do this...

In the news:

  • Snowflake tennis star continues to Snowflake out
  • More testing fuckups in Victoria
  • Wired headphones making a comeback
  • A female tennis player was deported for vax status. Do I smell some prejudice?
  • Dad attacks jogger for not social distancing
  • Vax can change periods. Huzzah?
  • Desperate mum locks plague-positive son in boot because she feared losing her job catching the virus
  • How to get your FREE TEST!
  • Internet divided by photograph of someone texting that they had the plague on a plane
  • You're doing the tests wrong
  • They can use CRISPR to target fat cells

Stories soon.

Challenge #03283-BONUS009: Breaking it Down

"I was there, in the midst of the firefight, that damn song on full-blast but it kept me pissed, hate that song now. Most of my closest friends are dead. My lover... they're gone, too. Yeah, I could've gotten an arm that looks real, skin that looks real, and not look like a patchwork doll, but I didn't want it. I can't... I don't want to forget that war, brief as it was. Even if their screams call out every night. I

Challenge #03282-BONUS008: Inherited Anxiety

A man from Pax Humanis was on leave after a very long, very bloody, mission. On a station grabbing a drink, they meet a young Havenworlder who has a serious self-esteem issue. They're heard stating over and over that they cannot do things simply because they are a Havenworlder and, as such, they are weak. Frowning and wanting to do terrible things to whomever put such thoughts into a kid's head, they push back that instinct and go to the young Havenworlder

Today's good news is that I have two contenders for Fic o' the Week. One's a collab and definitely written during a stream

Challenge #03281-BONUS007: Editing the First Draft

The creation of the Mycojelly Dogs is patented and sold as a therapy / safety device for Bad Luckers, and to people of Pax Humanis working on controlling episodes of explosive temper. Each "animal" carefully created and programmed for each person's special needs. And the Time is just rolling in by the centuries!

Challenge #03280-BONUS006: I Can See Your Homeworld From Here

A Human had far more time than they could count, they found a planet rich with resources that was a Havenworld and yet, it was completely uninhabited, no cogniscent life anywhere. A planet which they quickly had placed under their name. Colonists from Deregulations moved in, one would think this would end up a Deregulation world, the CEO's from the local ones certainly TRIED to get them to become a part of it, but this human, after sitting and listening to the

Vax news: Unavailable because of improper formatting

I feel increasingly like my government has abandoned me and every other ordinary citizen in favour of keeping the cash flow up. Damnit.

I have to go out and acquire a calendar so I can keep track of nonsense. Including school hols. And, let's be honest, decorate the kitchen a little bit. Since

Challenge #03279-BONUS005: A Hard Lesson

The CRC allows the citizenry or a former Deregger colony to decide the fate of the CEO that had ruled over them with an iron fist. What punishment does he get? HE gets to be the one to shovel manure from the barns, haul it, and spread it on the fields all day. Though, at least, HE gets to get regular breaks, fresh water, and time to eat, and his quarters were softer than what he used to let them have. --

Challenge #03278-BONUS004: Meditative Downtime Activities

A ship of Havenworlders was out on the rim doing planet surveys. It's been stressful as they wait for repair parts to come in due to damage from raiders, fortunately their human chased the raiders off, and the human brings out a big stack of paper books with black and white images and a large box of colored pencils. They smile at their friends and say. "Here, one of my favorite ways to relax, de-stress, and clear my mind. I have enough

Vax news:

  • 43 Million total vaccines administered nationally

I personally hate what's going on with the government information sites. It's less accessible and that's likely so that nobody looks close enough to see how bad we're failing at controlling the damn disease.

We're not "living with the virus", we're letting it take over.

Today, I am

Challenge #03277-BONUS003: Asked and Answered

They say that if something can go wrong, it WILL go wrong. And today was one of those days. They were making camp, and it began to rain heavily. So they go to a cave, and it ends up almost flooding. They head for high ground, but then the lightning starts up. They find an abandoned cabin, and it's full of bugs and there's no firewood...argh, what next?? -- Anon Guest

Challenge #03276-BONUS002: Guilty of Air Pollution

A human knomira is burning a ton of incense in their room to "purify the air of toxins" because "bad smells carry miasma and miasma is illness!" They learn why that is NOT allowed aboard ships, or enclosed spaces like space stations. -- Anon Guest

Some people should never be trusted with a Travel Multipass. Even if they did have the finances to get one. Dumei was one of them. Worse, they were one of those people who thought 'extra perks' meant

It really feels like everyone's given up. I joked with Beloved that everyone else will get Omicron but I'll go down with Delta. It's not very funny.

I have noticed, and corrected, a problem

Challenge #03274-H365: Of Moose, Mistletoe, and Minors

Wraithvine's friend, Pondermoore, finds a human child lost and afraid in the woodlands. They'd wandered away from home to pick fall fruits, and had gotten very lost. Wraithvine was trying to locate the child's home and family, and it was very dark out, so not all that safe to travel. While the child was curled up on a bedroll, they looked up at Pondermoore and asked "Tell me a bedtime story, please?" -- Anon Guest
