I really liked your game @localthunk.com 🥺🃏
Qatherine is standing on a black mat between the strands of her multicordes. Her arms are spread wide to hold the two halves of the multicordes apart. They are learning forward and looking out between the strands with a big smile.

#balatro #persona5 #circus #cosplay
Qatherine is in the air on a multicordes apparatus consisting of many strands of thin white rope. She is wearing a red and orange three-pointed jester hat and a blue jester neck ruff that look like the Joker character from the game Balatro. Under that, she is wearing a gray leotard with black detail that mimics the top worn by Joker from Persona 5 and black shorts with cut-outs. It is difficult to see details, but she is wearing white and black makeup to mimic Persona 5 Joker’s domino mask. The multicordes are divided into two sections; one section is wrapped under her knee and over her shoulder and the other section is in her hand. Both of their knees are dramatically bent and their feet are flexed. The multicordes is divided into 4 sections. Qatherine has one section in each hand, and the remaining sections are wrapped around her thighs and holding her upright. Their left leg is extended and their right leg is in a passe position. She is looking over her shoulder and smiling. Qatherine has taken off the jester hat and ruff. She is at the top of the multicordes and wrapped with all the strands with the pole behind her back. Her knees are bent behind her and feet are flexed. Their left hand is raised and in a similar shape to their legs, elbow bent and wrist flexed; their right hand is holding the pole behind theme. She is looking over her left shoulder and the makeup of her white and black domino mask is visible. The lighting is quite dramatic in red and blue tones. Qatherine is hanging right side up in the air with her legs extended down and arms extended at shoulder height. The multicordes are wrapped around their waist; they are hanging just from the wrapped ropes and not holding on with their hands. They are looking out towards their left arm and grinning.

If I had a nickel for every time a game with a Joker main character lost Game of the Year, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but I sure made a circus act around it. #balatro #persona5
Qatherine, a white person, backstage for their circus show. Qatherine is wearing a red and orange jester hat and teal blue neck ruff in the style of Joker/Jimbo from Balatro. She is wearing a gray leotard which is a little harder to see, but is styled after Joker from Persona 5. She has makeup on to mimic Joker's mask from Persona 5 and red lipstick.

Last night I co-produced and performed in a video game themed circus show! This was the culmination of months of work, and I'm so happy with how everything went and so grateful for our cast, crew, and everyone who turned out to watch ☺🎪
Nine performers are in a line on a stage with their arms on each others shoulders. They are dressed as a variety of video game characters and smiling. Qatherine is second from the left of the photo, wearing a hat and collar like Joker from Balatro over a gray leotard styled like Joker from Persona 5 and black shorts.

Had to take all my piercings out for medical imaging and I feel so normie without them 😱
Selfie of Qatherine, a white person with dark hair and dark eyes wearing a white duckbill mask and gray jacket. Qatherine is turned slightly to their left and holding the upper strap of their mask to show their right ear. Her ear has no earrings but there are several holes showing where piercings typically are (triple lobe, triple forward helix, and triple conch). Qatherine is sitting indoors with a beige wall and window onto some shrubbery behind them.

I've now attended the first wedding of my adult life and it was for two friends at city hall, followed by a 3 min walk down the street to a restaurant for brunch. Pretty hard to top that.
A selfie of Qatherine, a white person with dark hair and eyes. They are wearing a light green sleeveless dress made of a brocade fabric and a black and white kuffiyeh draped over their arms like a shawl. She has a purse on her left arm. In the background, there are flowerbeds with some unknown green plants, chain link fencing, and a small tree towards the right side of the photo.

Walked by a bunch of people queueing at Independence Hall for the real Philly destination 😌
Entrance to a Wawa on 6th Street in Philadelphia. The entrance is in an older style white stone building with columns flanking the entrance and carvings above the doors. The red Wawa logo is above the entrance and there is a yellow caution cone blocking one of the doors. Part of a SEPTA bus shelter is on the right side of the image.

Don't talk to me or my trash monster child ever again.
(jk it's @creepyelliot.bsky.social 's Hedorah but I'm love)
Qatherine is standing holding a small plastic toy of Hedorah from Godzilla vs Hedorah. They are resting their cheek affectionately against Hedorah's head. Her eyes are closed and she is slightly smiling. Qatherine is wearing a buffalo plaid shirt; they are standing in a room with other figures on a shelf and a TV (playing wrestling) behind her.

To note, a lot of younger adults are STILL eligible under this new policy. Please get the new season's vaccine in the fall if you can. And WEAR A MASK! It's not too late to start masking again and protect your community. Find a mask bloc in your area. Fight the state's attempt at eugenics 😷
From NEJM article on FDA's new requirements for COVID-19 vaccination, a list of underlying medical conditions that are considered by the CDC to increase risk of severe disease. This list includes asthma, cancer, mental health conditions, obesity, and smoking; please check the source article or the CDC's website for the full list because it's too long to list in alt text, sorry!

The FDA tries to justify the need for additional clinical trials with a placebo control arm (which is NOT typical for ethical reasons) by handwringing about declining public trust in vaccination and drawing parallels to the decline in MMR vaccination rates. Guess who is contributing to this?!
Screenshot of NEJM article linked earlier in thread. Text reads: "Even health care workers remain hesitant, with less than one third participating in the 2023–2024 fall booster program.5 There may even be a ripple effect: public trust in vaccination in general has declined,6 resulting in a reluctance to vaccinate that is affecting even vital immunization programs such as that for measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) vaccination, which has been clearly established as safe and highly effective. In recent years, reduced MMR vaccination rates have been a growing concern and have contributed to serious illness and deaths from measles. Against this context, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks to provide guidance and foster evidence generation."

Excellent NYE gig: got dolled up, lit stuff on fire, and finished in time to be grumpy about fireworks from the comfort of home.

Since I haven't seen this coming up yet in all the recent discussion: UnitedHealthcare has been REPEATEDLY found in violation of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. The US Department of Labor and multiple state governments have slapped them on the wrist and they. Keep. Doing. It.
Screenshot of US Department of Labor news release stating that United Healthcare will be paying $15.6 million for violating the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. Screenshot of Minnesota Star Tribune news article by Christopher Snowbeck stating that Minnesota is fining United Healthcare $450k over Mental Health Parity violations. Screenshot of the Office of the Insurance Commissioner of Washington State website stating that Kreidler (WA's insurance commissioner) is fining UHC $500k for not complying with mental health parity laws.
