Hey everyone.

I want you to know that I am aware I'm an outsider to queer spaces and culture. I didn't realize I was queer in any way until I was in my early 30s so I didn't grow up learning things.

So if you see me making a mistake, please call me on it. I won't be mad, even if it hurts. I'd rather know then not.

Also if I'm in a space and making you uncomfortable, ask me to leave. I would rather leave then make others uncomfortable in their own space.

Pfizer, which has the most aggressive timetable for its clinical trial, has announced that it will not have a vaccine out by the end of October. On the good news front, it hasn't failed out yet. On the bad news, their statement indicates they have not yet had 36 people enrolled in the trial get sick with COVID yet, which is the first checkpoint, which means things are going more slowly then anticipated. (The faster people get sick, the faster they can see what ratio of people who got placebo vs vaccine are getting ill.)

Oddly despite today's Widdershin's art looking more like @starkatt it hits the same parts of my brain as the video @memnus made of her using a bow

WELL FUCK.

It seems a lot of the treatments we've been pinning hopes on (monoclonal antibodies, convalescent plasma) are either not effective, or only effective if given early or to people who aren't effectively making their own antibodies.... Which are limited and of limited use in emergency conditions. Might be useful to give hospital workers resistance to the disease while waiting on a vaccination.

A dragon is teaching me how to break vrchat physics

...I wonder if I can get something like my Second Life Avatar in VR chat.

......dammit, that would involve admitting my second life avatar was an angelic women in a leather jacket, jeans, with black wings, wouldn't it?

.....waiiiittttttt, dammit

Ok, @DialMforMara has got me into trying VRchat, which seems to be Second LIfe Lite.

Not TOO bad now that I"m getting the hang of it, but I couldn't be doing it without @DialMforMara and @rockario hanging out on voice chat with me
