Comments on other people's posts:

[cw: apocalypse] [Dreamwidth; Wayback] (OP by [personal profile] siderea; in response to [personal profile] katuah) At the moment I don't *directly* have any prepping book recs, but I do have a website rec that in turn has book recs.

[mild cw: amnesia] [WordPress (Tumblr)] (OP by [tumblr.com profile] argumate; partly in response to [tumblr.com profile] eightyonekilograms) Authenticator apps with actual backup systems, unlike *some* (Google) apps we could mention.

Links:

[cw: flashing gif] [Wayback] (by Kate Davis Jones) The history of Space Cadet Pinball. (Surprised to learn that it was a thing for several versions of Windows starting with 95. I thought it was XP-specific: I don't remember ever seeing it in Windows 98.)



There is a blanket [cw: illness] on the rest of this post.


Comments on my own posts:

[arguably cw: venting] Variolation, part 4: Secondhand [one or two comments, depending on how you count]

[Start of WordPress thread (Tumblr part 1; Tumblr part 2)] (OP by [tumblr.com profile] trillgutterbug; partly in response to [tumblr.com profile] moral-autism) Stories having to decide whether the plague of 2020 occurred in their universe or not. [two comments]

[CEPI; Wayback] (by CEPI) Planning for the next pandemic.

[CTV News; Wayback] (by Krista Simpson) The famed Ezra Avenue party (an illegal street party "thrown"† by University of Waterloo students each year on St. Patrick's Day, known for attracting crowds of up to thirty thousand people) was collectively cancelled for the second year running. Students indicate that this is temporary and they plan to resume partying *after* the plague is over.


†via decentralised common knowledge rather than any explicit organisation, as I understand it
