Massachusetts Covid vaccine eligibility

The state has now announced when people in different groups, including "everyone else at least 16 years old," will be eligible for the vaccine. Of note: Rather than grouping everyone under 65 as "gemeral public," they'll be making people between 60-64, and then 55-59, eligible a little sooner. Also of note, the supply is lagging behind eligibility, and they don't expect that to change.

talking about books

I have been feeling a little out of it, mentally, since mid-afternoon, but had sufficient focus for a book club/discussion of Le Guin's Always Coming Home on the Gathertown annex of the Scintillation Discord server this evening.

We talked about that book, and some of Le Guin's other writing, and a bit about other things, including how nice it was to be looking at and talking to people we don't live with (or, in my case, brief practical interactions with various health care workers).

Jo recommended the Library of America edition of the book, which has substantial additional material; this is hardcopy, so I need to choose a bookstore. (I haven't bought any paper books since before the pandemic.)
