I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.
Reminder! As of today the U.S. government is once again distributing free covid test kits through the Postal Service.
Just fill out the form here to get them speeding your way. Tell yr friends and fam.
As of today, November 20, you are entitled to four additional covid-19 test kits.
Or eight, if you didn't take advantage of the offer in September.
Here's today's announcement. The ordering link is the same as last time.
Do these ever expire? Not in need of one atm but they would be nice to have around in case
yes, all tests have expiration dates. however they have publicly extended the original expiration dates on many lots of covid-19 test kits.
if there is a chance at all you could use these, or even if you could just give them to someone else, i think you should order. why not? there are plenty to go around (which is kind of indicative of our country's current problem...).
Thank you for sharing again! I always request these. I have more than enough, but it's nice that I can use them whenever and not worry about running out. I also make sure all my friends and family know I have extras and can throw some on their porch if needed.
Even if people don't particularly need them, I think it's still a good idea to request them because 1.) they are free 2.) it may be wishful thinking, but I would like to think people requesting them shows the government that people still care about COVID prevention
