I’d never seen an entire hospital floor-40 beds-dedicated to a single infectious disease before. At our peak we had more than three non-ICU units dedicated just to patients with COVID. Heated high flow and Bipap, usually exclusive to ICU, were standard on the floor because the ICUs were full.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

Brandin Sanderson’s Skyward is giving me such hard Fourth Wing vibes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not Fourth Wing (in that I don’t hate the main character with every fiber of my being) and it’s not stupid (people die because of bad guys, not because they don’t innately know how to ride a dragon).

Steelheart: I believe we got a snipet, or a glimpse, of this in the sci-fi short story collection. I don’t watch The Boys because it is too grim. This prologue is gutting. Will I white knuckle through? Or give up before the end?

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter: I was going to joke about how Yumi is clearly Rapunzel from Tangled, in how she‘s thinking about going to a festival she’s never been to before, but then it turns out she is forbidden from cutting her hair, and it’s not a joke any more.

Warbreaker: Technically I should be excited for Vasher. But I’m most giddy about the return of Nightblood: the blood-thirsty, probably at-least-a-little-bit-evil sword that would just like to get a good grade in murder.

I’ve joined a book club, because it’s a good excuse to hang out with other women and drink mimosas. The book is The Correspondent, which is a very popular book at the moment. I wound up having to buy it because the wait list at the library is super long.

Alloy of Law started by traumatizing the main character and me, because Sanderson has a thing about Mistborn heroes and their tragic wives. It may be on the upswing, though! I’ve been told Wayne brings a bit of Lopen vibes to the party!

“I thought of you happy in a comfy bed, resting and relaxing, spending the rest of your life sipping tea and reading papers while people bring you food and maids rub your toes and stuff.” “And?” “And I just couldn’t leave you to a fate like that.” Wayne shivered. “I’m too good a friend to let a mate of mine die in such a terrible situation.” “Comfortable?” “No,” Wayne said. “Boring.” He shivered again.

Taking a break from the Horrors for a moment, why did no one tell me “Tress of the Emerald Sea” was narrated by Wit?? And that there’s a whole series planned about Hoid’s travels? It is exactly the type of distraction I need right now!
