In my area it seemed like the protests (of police brutality) were not big spreader events because they were outdoors and people adhered to public health guidance. I hope the same is true in your neck of the woods <3
Thank you for your words! As far as I have noticed, people try to stick to public health guidance during the protests, but some things, like keeping the safe distance from the others, are hard to maintain. There are hundreds and thousands of people on the streets in many towns and cities.

I just received the message that our university rector officially supports the students' protest. It is encouraging, especially since we have already heard that some more conservative and more politically oriented universities are already repressing their students' right to protest. Ugh.

Good things come to those who click!

I offered my help with making banners and such, but I feel that I should be there with others - covid or not, I suppose I do not even care at this point.

I cannot believe I am writing this. I was never an activist of any sort. I was never politically engaged, but... it seems that at some point, even people like me start to care.
I am off to protest today as well. There will be a protest going on where I live for the same cause/support. Stay safe <3

This year has been rough but one good thing that has come of it is I've made new friends via D&D. Which by the way is way more fun then I expected.

Feeling pretty invisible, but I haven't been very talkative anywhere lately. I just haven't had the energy to do anything. I've had several ideas for creative projects (including a halloween one) but the thought of starting them when I have a free moment is the farthest from my mind. And it's not like I don't have time to do things...or maybe that's just me trying to delude myself. Between work and family when I am not doing something for them I just want to veg out.

I almost decided to skip out on the halloween event here and on DC, but I've done a little something on both. I have my trick or treats, but I can't be bothered to start the game. I hate the thought of not getting the badge though. :sulk: I haven't bred any of my halloween dragons, nor have I tried to catch any bred by anyone else this week. I'll at least make sure to get my eggs on halloween day.

Oh no!! :lol:

If you ever get a response like 'hnnnnngh,' or 'uuuuugh,' that was me. And I'm sorry. But stop texting me, lmao!!
I told one that I'd vote for an aardvark if it got Trump out of office....

Yes, this wave is pretty bad. Several places are on lockdown/ under curfew. It looks as if it's going to get a lot worse T_T T_T
Ugh I am so sorry! So far VN has been able to avoid lockdowns and curfews since July. I am hoping it stays that way. I am feeling quite lucky to be able to live a normal life. I went out last night with coworkers to a pub quiz and the place was packed - that wouldn't be allowed in most countries right now due to this 2nd or 3rd wave.

Stay safe Dil.

Things were going really well here also. We even managed to reopen schools, have exams, elections and even the Book Fair. This recent wave is so so bad. The government declared curfew to the entire Western Province (where we are) from 12:00 midnight today till 2:00 am Monday T_T

Hubby and son go to work and hubby brings everything we need. My mom and I are stuck at home :lol:

Thanks, Sol. You stay safe too <3

I am enjoying the D&D Halloween/Horror One shots I've joined. But I feel like I'm really bad at RPing. ._.
