A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems. This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.

Rewatched "The Three Musketeers" as part of my Tim Curry Memorial Tour and y'all I was not prepared. Neither for the glory of Curry's villain in a fabulous cape nor for how my middle-aged bi hormones reacted to Sutherland + De Mornay.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Top left panel: Julian Bashir and Garak are together in the cockpit of a runabout. Bashir turns to Garak and says, "I must admit I'm getting rather excited for the spooky season!"

Top right panel: Garak looks up from his panel in confusion and asks, "The 'spooky' season?"

Middle left panel: Bashir fully turns in his seat to face Garak as he answers, "Well, it's an old Earth tradition where we sort of celebrate things that scare us."

Middle right panel: Garak gives the doctor a reproving sort of look and says, "What a bizarre concept."

Bottom left panel: Bashir adds as an addendum, "Though, mainly it's just an excuse for people to get together and dress slutty."

Bottom right panel: Suddenly, Garak's face lights up with wonder and he says, "You have piqued my interest."

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Lights Out Alert for September 16, 2026 - 4.1 million birds will be migrating through Oregon skies. Dark skies help keep birds safe on their journey to their wintering grounds. Migration is happening now through approximately October 19 -- if you can turn off your lights and draw your blinds every evening during that time period to assist migrating birds, that would be appreciated.
