i cannot believe the birthday present my partner and our friend BUILT for me 😭😭😭

A wooden structure built to cover my outdoor pizza oven, with latticed sides and a corrugated tin roof with built-in ventilation. A small sign hangs from the top that says, in chalk, “David’s Pizza Palace”

New one-and-done vaccine protects against multiple coronaviruses

A single-shot vaccine that protects against multiple coronaviruses, including the one that causes COVID-19, has been developed. It erased all viral traces from the lungs of animal subjects, opening a pathway for a similar human vaccine.

the amount of coughing on my 7h30m flight was unreal. nearly constant dry coughing from multiple people and children. most people still not wearing masks. it’s just incredible that people accept this

i just think it’s really cool how Hawaiian Airlines doesn’t let you check into flights that depart from abroad in their app or on the web and force you to do it in the lovely, not-at-all-stressful environment of the airport 🙂‍↔️
