That was a long March. Slightly baffled it's April. June is a myth, right?

The virus memes really are some of the best memes I've ever seen. True art is achieved through adversity...

I'm hoping there will be positive changes in the world after all this nightmare. We're going to lose people on the way though. :o/

A++ for all content today :)

Someone on my flist posted that they'd seen gas at under $1 a gallon locally. Although it varies by as much as $2.50 a gallon from one part of the country to another, this was still astonishing as I last saw that in the 1990s.

I went to the grocery today but forgot to look at the gas prices since we've driven so little in the last month that I'm sure we're still on the same tank of gas from February.

You forgot about May! June is indeed a myth. May is a fantasy land.

I rather live for them. Didn't know what to do with this post, so just threw memes into it.

:( I feel things MUST change, surely? It's truly affecting the whole world.

And it was simply a case of more-or-less emptying my meme folder, because I didn't know what to post.

Long may it continue. >:)

Wow. And it's been the longest March EVER.

...I literally forgot the existence of May. Yeah, when society goes back to normal, this is going to go really well.

[elisi]

Maybe the rest of the world will forget too! Or maybe March was so long that May has been swallowed up.

I'd be happy if CV19 killed the oil industry. And the airBnB industry! XD

Daleks as enforcers would definitely be effective... but they would also add to the death count so maybe not. *lol*

Daleks as enforcers would be so effective, and that is a scary thought!

I absolutely relate to the glitter analogy!

All cute, especially the George RR Martin tweet (and response) and the Easter dresses.

Hubby works in the oil industry - the answer is no - covid19 is not going to stop pike exploration and drilling. The oil industry is essential for all kinds of stuff not just fuel. Most things in your house and what you wear are made from fossil fuels. Yes it’s likely that cars will be changing to more eco friendly fuels but we are decades away from not drilling for oil unfortunately.

And the airBnB industry! XD
I SAW THAT! Yessssss.

Yeah, bit of a drawback. But the image is golden.

[elisi]

Well they would definitely be deadlier than the virus...

[elisi]

Good, isn't it? :)

Cute, and savage!

And I love the Easter dresses...

We can but dream... But if we get hydrogen and/or electric cars, and renewable energy, that would be a massive step forwards.
