my conservative neighbor refers to covid as “That Flu” as in “____ also went to the hospital with that same flu that took out ____”
my more progressive friends refer to covid generically. as in “yeah I’m sick again” or “my cold turned into a bad cough” or “I’m the only one in my house who isn’t sick with what’s going around right now”

I have made Van Richten’s Guide to Vampires in #Ravenloft an item in-universe which does the following;
"A tome written by the famed monster hunter himself, this book purports to be a guide to identifying, fighting, and slaying vampires. As an action, you may consult the book and add +3 to any Arcana checks (interaction) related to vampires."

Medicare in the USA is so phoqued up. I am so glad i live in a country with universal health care. The idea that a hospital is so profitable and profit driven that they can sponsor a stadium naming? So weird.
