Not Quite a motss.con xviii (via Zoom)

On Saturday, August 5, 2023, the soc.motss.con bunch had another Zoom call.

We had 11 people over the course of the hour or so I was there (though never more than seven camera feeds at a time, and up to six of the people were using 1–2 feeds from the Astoria motss.con). I had fun catching up, and it seemed like others did too. Discussion topics (as I wrote them down, but not necessarily in chronological order) included: Erectile dysfunction as men age Arousal without erecion Health and wellness, health advocates, and doctors not listening to their patients Plumbing problems motss.con moment of silence Donnie's Jewish convalescent home putting on a show of Max's work (animal portraits) Max's studio waving $7,200 in parking PG&E crediting Max $1,000 Leading by example, transparency, and overcoming invisibility (facing one's own and one's partners' issues) Weight loss and illness White balance, webcam adjustments, and other Zoom issues Watches failing while being worn, and other electromagnetic changes (which has started to affect some of us) Plumbers arriving early Favorite songs Fashions in watches (black hands and black numbers on a black face; sculpted; red glow-in-the-dark hands on black; dot for the hour and bar for the minute; etc.) Art Deco mens' watches Omens and self-fulfilling prophecies

The quote of the day, at least when I was there, was Max's "We started with blood pressure and moved on to erctile dysfunction."
