                 No Email Issue on 30 May 2022 for Memorial Day

   Adam Engst

   We're taking next Monday's email issue off to celebrate the Memorial
   Day holiday in the United States, and for travel and family
   commitments. Tonya and I are embarking on our first significant trip of
   the pandemic'a visit to our son Tristan at Simon Fraser University in
   Burnaby, British Columbia. We have a full course of four COVID-19
   vaccination shots and will wear N95 masks in public indoor situations,
   so we hope that and the relatively low infection rate in British
   Columbia will be sufficient to protect us from the Omicron variants
   causing infection spikes in the northeast US.

   We'll continue to publish new articles throughout the next two weeks,
   and TidBITS will return to your inbox on 6 June 2022'the day of Apple's
   WWDC keynote (see '[1]WWDC 2022 Stays Virtual Starting June 6,' 5 April
   2022). Everyone is welcome to come to kibitz during the remote keynote
   in our [2]SlackBITS #events channel.

   In the meantime, [3]TidBITS members can receive articles in email as
   soon as they're published or read the full text of articles via RSS.
   Everyone else can follow along on [4]our Web site, via [5]Apple News,
   in the [6]TidBITS News iOS app, in[7]Google News, in the [8]RSS app of
   your choosing, or even on [9]Flipboard. We still provide headline
   notifications via Twitter and Facebook for existing followers, but I
   encourage everyone to [10]avoid social media like the brain-sucking
   plague it is.
