Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Sunday, Day 0, Twoferfest Beginneth

Plague news: Seven hundred and sixty-five new cases, all local transmission. We have officially dropped the damn ball on this GD plague. There are two thousand and forty-seven total active cases, one hundred and twenty-three of them are in hospital. At least the poor sod in the ICU got out.

Vax news: Australia scores 94.1% first vax, 91.0% fully vaxxed. Queensland's STILL tangled for last place with WA at 90.4% first vax, 85.9% fully vaxxed. NSW is edging closer to that magic 95% first vax, but they're not there yet.

Omicron is, apparently, the plague we have to live with. I'm in the "at risk" population, so I'd rather not live with it thankyou. I will probably die if I get it. I already have enough problems with Asthma. I don't need to deal with Long Covid probably making my everything worse.

For those of you wondering WTF Twoferfest is, that's when I write TWO stories per stream instead of one. So I can catch up with the calendar and achieve a correct score. Finally, I will be in sync with the calendar. Huzzah!

Today is another day of staying hunkered, but only IF my spawn's Crimbolio Money is burning a hole in their pocket. I have the equivalent of $200 to spend irresponsively, and... it's ALL going on D&D shit.

Who knew I would find DM'ing fun?

IF I ever get to play the game in person ever again, I may be that one geek who turns up with buttloads of nonsense to play with.

Also, Beloved is getting a resin 3D printer, so I now have an excuse to go ham on environment tiles if I so choose. If I go that far down the old rabbit-hole.

I will find my painting kit FIRST. End of.

In the news:

  • Everybody's going to get Omicron
  • Google no longer top website
  • Woman attacked with acid by Ex marries the bastard
  • Changes to booster rollouts
  • Some fuckwit went on a shooting spree in Sydney
  • More Crypto Drama
  • Vegan stages a protest in a supermarket
  • More downpours for Australia
  • Antivaxxers try to serve fake legal papers to a football star, and pop them in the wrong mailbox
  • Apple Store boycott is on. I already don't go there
  • There's a new cryptocoin. Yay.
  • Sports judge quits over transgender competitor

And now for today's second tale.

Challenge #03256-H347: Not So Savage

We tried to tame the humans. We thought them little more than savages. We treated them so poorly. Yet, when danger came, they smashed down their cages and saved us. They had been TESTING us! They have forgiven us, but we cannot forgive ourselves. -- Anon Guest

Gresh would learn later that they named their world Stonetech. They had begun it with the idea of recreating their Earth, but with kinder technologies for the environments around them. To live with their world

Seasonal Seasonings

No story today. I am not looking at the news, I am not looking at the plague statistics. For Christmas, I am giving myself temporary peace of mind.

Today's goals are:

  1. Stay safe on the road
  2. Family time
  3. Presents

IF I get any writing done today, I will count it as either a fluke or dedication/obsession on my part because I won't be bringing my Lappy on today's road trip.

It is the Silly Season, the temporary madness when we all

Challenge #03255-H346: All Part of the Experience

Several humans get together to build a giant library. They're not a part of the Archivaas, they just wanted to build a station full of books. This station does have places for people to read on data readers and such, but it's primarily for those who find it relaxing to sit with an old-fashioned book in their hands and read. -- Anon Guest

They used to call it Tosheroon Station, primarily because the long waits between transports had all sorts of trash

Friday, Day 0, Crimbus Eve

Plague news: THREE HUNDRED and sixty-nine new cases, and according to government site that can't do math, all of them are local transmissions plus one import. Grrr. Apparently, there's eight hundred and seven total active cases, ninety-four of those are in hospital, and one is in the ICU.

At some point later today, I shall record a special Crimbolio message for Twitch. That way, I can do all my social media messages while Twitch gets the video.

Today, I shall be cleaning

Challenge #03254-H345: You Have to Wear One of These Now

A planet is ravaged by illness. Thanks to closed minds raving against the thing that prevented the disease, wearing livesuits everywhere to avoid contracting the immunoflu, the illness still spread. Once people contract it, well, most that contracted it died. The authorities had enough, it was time to DO something. That is when the drones appeared, and immunoflu was going to be coating the planet like ancient farmers dusting their crops. -- Anon Guest

Death and disease do not discriminate. They do

Thursday, Day 0, Antici-pation

Plague news: one hundred and eighty-six new cases, only two of those are imports. There's four hundred and forty-seven active cases, eighty of those are in hospital, and one of those is in the ICU. Australia's at 94% first vax, 90.8% fully vaxxed. Queensland's still tangled with WA for last place in the vax race at 90% first vax, 85% fully vaxxed.

We made a mistake in listening to everyone who wanted to pretend the plague was over. The sooner we

Challenge #03253-H344: The Big Day

Ok, ok, wedding please? Pretty please? With candy canes and sugar cakes on top?? I SO want to see the upper crust going into conniptions knowing that these young men rule over them and they can't do a damn thing except accept the wedding! And oh how the families will be so happy seeing their daughters married off to such wonderful prospects! :-)

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

Challenge #03252-H343: A Life of Obligation

May we know of the life of Lady Duchess Pyncosorus Merrimine? What did she suffer under the tyrant? How did she react due to his cruelty towards the children she bore? What she thought / felt when the tyrant was killed? During that horrific fight? Please?

Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon

Plague news: FIFTY-NINE new cases, forty-nine local, ten imports. There's one hundred and ninety-seven total active cases, sixty-six of those are in hospital. 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

Challenge #03251-H342: Learn, Guys

The leaders of Liberteria attempt to sue for the destruction of their ships and to demand their people be returned. Pax Humanis - ordered to capture, NOT kill, the criminals this time, take great pleasure in teaching the finer parts if irony.

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03173-h264-error-of-their-ways -- Anon Guest

Libertaria never truly learned sense. Much like the exploration eras of Human history, they sent more people to find out what had happened to the last people that went out and

Monday, Day 0, Bloody Hell...

Plague news: FORTY-TWO new cases. THIRTY-FOUR local, eight imports. ONE HUNDRED and FORTY-TWO total active cases, fifty-seven of those are in hospital. Australia's paused at 93.7% first vax, 90% fully vaxxed. Queensland's back in its tangle-tie with WA at 89% first vax, 83.6% fully vaxxed.

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

Challenge #03250-H341: Welp. Party's Over.

The people of Ladidah are throwing a fit over the destroyed wedding and the wedding planners are weeping. Liz's own family is hounding her about her "unlady-like" behavior even as the vorax raiders, the survivors that is, are being dragged off to incarceration and the Brutes are taking the raider ships to turn them in for the credit. Liz decides to give a smackdown, verbally speaking, to them all that 'rich and powerful' is not just for MEN, and 'being able to

Sunday, Day 0, Tech Support

Plague News: THIRTY-ONE new cases! Twenty-four local, seven imports. One hundred and nine total active cases, fifty-one of those are imports. It's all going to shit, and it's going to get worse. Sigh. Australia's at 93.7% first vax, 90% fully vaxxed. Queensland's edged ahead of WA, at 89% first vax, 83.6% fully vaxxed.

"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
