sorcyressHey folks,
My birthday is coming up on ~Saturday~ August 28th! That's very soon! We're still in a godsbefucked pandemic and things are Bad. This is super frustrating, because at the start of the summer, I wasn't anticipating things being Bad.
Do...do I host birthday ice cream this year?
Obviously I didn't last year. (I mean, I strongly encourage people to Eat Ice Cream For My Birthday Regardless Of Location, but for the purposes of this post let's consider "host" meaning "actually gather folk in Davis Square to eat ice cream with me). But...are...things different now?
Ice cream is traditionally a bunch of folks standing around in the center of Davis Sq. It's outside, but it's eating.
If we say "we're gonna do ice cream, but we're gonna bring it over to seven hills park so there's more room to spread out" is that enough? If I say "please wear a mask whenever you are not actively consuming a food" is that enough? (Also there's no question, but wear a mask when you're inside a business obtaining an ice cream please, yes even if you're vaccinated).
I just...I miss people. I miss social events. I miss getting to have A Shindig to celebrate my birthing. And I don't know how to tell if a fully outdoor event among vaccinated1 folk is going to be A Disaster.
Input welcome and encouraged.

MOOP!
1: Look, please don't attend my parties if you are able to get vaccinated and haven't. If you're not able to get vaxx'd because of autoimmune disorders et al, sure, but if you don't have mitigating health reasons and you haven't gotten the vaccine, please don't hang out with me this winter. I am too high of a risk vector (working in a school) to want to spend time with you.
