Most of the new research about unexpected horrors of COVID19 infection are just rehashing old information we already knew in 2020 but refused to listen to then. Will "new" research really convince people when the original did not?

I'm finally! done with the white part :blobexpressionless:

I'm using odds and ends of hand me down floss for this project, and the whites in particular have been tricky - since it's one large swathe of colour even minute changes in tone are obvious at a distance. I carefully tried to make a seemless gradient (in the off-white part) from almost white to slightly more beigy white, flanked by the darkest of the whites in strategic places to soften the edges.
It went pretty well, actually, untill I ran out of my pre-sorted strands with about a centimeter left. I think I've redone that last part more than five times? Desperately trying to find a colour match among the leftover floss that didn't look too bright nor dark. I think I finally managed it. Either way, I'm calling it done.

I just helped a family member fill-in a badly designed online membership form for a non-for-profit sporting organisation. It was bad enough that they asked for gender (mandatory question, two options M or F). But far, far, far worse: they *also* asked for *gender at birth*, same options! There's no way to participate in the organisations activities without completing this form, so a stark choice to conform or piss off.

Horrid, horrid, horrid.
