Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: Eighty-six new cases, seventy-nine local, seven imports. There's two hundred and sixty-nine total active cases, seventy-five of those are in hospital. Australia's stable at 93.9% first vax, 90.6% fully vaxxed. Queensland's still tangled with WA for last place to get to 95% vaxxed, with 89.9% first vax, and 85% fully vaxxed.

Everyone wanted to open up, so now this bullshit is happening.

I forgot to do my Patreon, so today's PLN is to do that and then go off about Instant Worldbuilding in Wordpress. I also kind'a forgot about wrapping gifts. I got entangled in Satisfactory. My bad.

Today. I will not start up Satisfactory until I have my work done. So there.

It's creeping ever closer to Crimbolio, and I will not be doing very much online that day. Holiday stuff. You understand.

In the news:

  • ScoMo pushing for a hated rule to at least slow the plague down this holiday season
  • Testing clinics overflowing before 6AM
  • Star of The Block may have been a superspreader
  • Teen found naked in some buttmunch's basement
  • China up to more shenanigans, we have photos
  • Australia is roasting this Christmas
  • RNA Vaccine for Lyme Disease

Story soon. Nonsense thereafter.

Australia's paused at 93.9% first vax, but crawling ahead to 90.5% fully vaxxed. Queensland is still tangled with WA for last place, with 89.8% first vax, 84.7% fully vaxxed.

Crimbolio might be cancelled because of Omicron. We have to wait and see.

Ugh. I do NOT want Crimbolio to be cancelled, but nobody knows how

So when they said, "There's a new variant that spreads faster and KILLS KIDS, we need to do these things to protect them," every single Knomira everywhere they said that... activated their one brain cell

"Learning to live with the virus," should have meant, "Change our habits to prevent or slow the spread of the disease," and NOT "lol let it loose

Such a miracle is this week's Tale Foundry entry. Began yesterday, and finished this morning whilst
