Wandering Adventure Party

@annehargreaves @jetlagjen @ShaulaEvans there are so many names for pill bugs in the English-speaking world (cannot speak to other languages on this)

Monkeypeas was the one where I grew up (SE England)

They also come in orangey/ginger variants!

@Akki @KaraLG84 @stevegis_ssg @ShaulaEvans surely it's because fly wings beat really fast and butterflies' are much slower?

@misjavanlaatum @samiamsam @VisualStuart plenty of white Christians are also targets anyway. Good was one. But yes, thinking they'd ever stop at immigrants is darkly laughable.

@hennavirkkunen and all the men who put in orders for abuse images?
No consequence?

@Kpasa @Mab_813 @overholt @geolaw rare but possible yes. Wouldn't take the chance. Wish I'd been able to have the vaccine as a child, instead I have a bunch of pox scars and live in fear of shingles, which just took out my friend of same age (late 30s/early 40s) for weeks on end.

Yay vaccines. #vaccinesWork

@Mab_813 @overholt @geolaw yes chickenpox vaccine will protect from shingles when older, as you need to have been infected with the herpesvirus that causes them. Same virus, chicken pox first, shingles later when it comes back out of your spine. Yay.

MMR = measles, mumps and rubella. Three entirely different viruses!

@callunavulgaris @overholt I am, flu vaccines are cheap at Boots and various chemists even if you can't get the NHS ones.
You can get put on a list for more frequent reminders if you have some kind of compromising health condition so it's worth asking GP about it

@overholt I've had three, maybe four MMRs for various reasons. No harm in boosting!
