Isn't she a bit old for a gender transition treatment?
You're never too old to start!  Unless you live in the UK and have less than a year left to live.  You have to "live as" whichever (binary) gender for that long before they'll even consider allowing you access to treatment.  The Queen has been notably camera-shy lately but I'm pretty sure she's been seen in dresses during that time, so by her country's crappy laws she's definitely not transitioning.

...or just about the right amount.

I've been taking ages over my Pretty Boy Floyd filk, over in the (strangely enough) AmeriPol thread.  Provisionally "...some will rob you with some rebels / And with 150,000 men...", but I've had to twist the ballad's 'message' to get it to work, enticing as it was to start it.

I took something out a bottle, certainly.

I just have a minor upper respiratory infection. I also felt better after filling two disposable hankies, folded appropriately in half and then quarters to use it efficiently, with the accumulations of probably around 6 days of said upper respiratory illness, and then gagging horribly on some that got stuck in my throat.

I should probably get over my aversion to periodically blowing my nose during illness since I think the unpleasant shortness of breath I was experiencing wasn’t a symptom of being ill, but having fucktons of gunk in my airways.

Anyway. I was slightly worried that some of the symptoms were covid-related long-term damage to something, rather than my own ineptitude. Glad to have been (hopefully) shown otherwise.

Last week, our government dropped nearly all corona restrictions. Face masks are no longer mandatory.
It is eerie how suddenly everyone, even those who supported the face masks, immediatly stopped wearing them, en masse.
The past week I was, literally, the only person still earing a facemask in our neighborhood supermarket (on a total of about 80 people in the store on average, with the exception of a single elderly couple.

Today was even more crazy. I got called 'cancer pedo nazi' in the supermarket by a bunch of drugged and drunk youth dressed up for carnaval, just for wearing a facemask.
For my own safety I shall stop wearing facemasks, I am not looking for a fight.

Also, a lot of people I know now have corona after celebrating carnaval. As was to be expected.

(Dutch carnaval: people dress up in costumes for 5 days drinking beer and snorting speed or coke)

:(

I'd advise to keep wearing a mask nonetheless...:(

I think we (the world) should adopt the Japanese custom of wearing them whenever you are sick to avoid spreading whatever.

I'm sure that within a few days there's going to be the issue of all Ukrainians hunkered down in bomb shelters with thousands getting corona.
It is going to be terrible, with a low-ish vaccination grade and hospitals that are either bombed or too busy with war casualties to tend to corona.

To be fair, a lot of governments are starting to pretend that the pandemic is over. I’m going to University classes in person now, and I have to say, minus the mask mandates it doesn’t really feel like a pandemic anymore.

I’m sure the feeling will come back once the lockdowns resume.

It’s definitely not over in, say, Hong Kong which is going through the Omicron mega-wave right now

My job removed mask requirements for vaccinated employees today. I've also realized how ugly my coworkers' faces are. I'm still going to wear mine; even without the risk of infection, there's a lot of dust floating around my work area, and the mask really helps with that.
