I don’t know if #CoronaSignalling is a thing, but Amazon pushing “look we’re helping to save you” on their homepage all the time is definitely it. Maybe if you paid your damn tax we might be able to afford some ventilators?

The spam signups on mastodon.me.uk (which I moderate before they get to do anything) are now advertising Chloroquine. Fuck you, spammers. Fuck you very much.

(In no way do I manage to follow this advice, btw, I feel guilty *all the time*)

Self-help advice for parents now trying to teach kids at home:

My daughter has special needs; it’s taken me a long time to realise that she could ALWAYS take more attention, more energy and more help, no matter how much we give. There's no point feeling guilt about not giving more, because there can NEVER be enough. we have to be OK with doing what we can sustainably do.

The same goes for teaching your kids at home. There can never be enough, so you have be OK with what you can manage.

Is there such a thing as a Continuous Cortisol Monitor? I feel I could do with a graph and alerts to quantify exactly how overstressed I am. Data solves everything doesn't it?

If tabletop simulator could update to 64-bit so it'll run on Catalina, that would be great right about now.

Companies: unless you are delivering me critical information or giving me something for free, you don't need to email me your advertising disguised as "what we're doing about #covid19"
