In my country the vaccine is unavailable publicly or privately to most people. I'm considering travelling to try to buy it. It's fucking insane. I can buy a vaccine for pretty much anything else.
I follow scientists, virologists, epidemiologists, etc and get tweets with the latest covid research. I also see a lot of stuff from Gaza and a few things about movies. I'm moving off there but while some people are only on there and giving me information, I'll keep going back.
I'm on both Mastodon and Bluesky but BS feels smoother and gives me more content after following some users and content than Mastodon ever did. I really want MD to work out and I'll go back there but I have neither the time nor the skills to develop or grow it myself.
The thing is, we have kerbside pickup so the bottles weren't going in the trash before. It's just that now I have a lot of extra steps and need to keep yet another separate container for plastic.
One reason we chose the school my kids go to is because they do teach about emotions and friendship and so on.
That's a funny one because men are celebrated for suppressing emotions and women are penalisd for showing them.
I need to be out of the physical office all the time to deal with my actual life. How about that? WFH 4eva
And a 21 day incubation period. Unsure how contagious it is throughout that time but you can go far and wide in 21 days. Contact tracing will be fun!
Smartless is fun.
Science Vs is short and interesting.
What's Her Name is great for true stories on historical women you may not have heard of.
If Books Could Kill tears into popular books.
Why Did You Tell Me That goes into interesting topics with comedy.
Last Podcast on the Left is mostly true crime but might cover other interesting true stories. The lads are funny.
No Dogs in Space is a great music one that covers bands in series. Mostly punk and alternative.
It's almost "just asking questions"
Phone, wallet, keys, lip balm, tissues, pen, paper, fold up scissors, toothpicks, mask (respirator), hand sanitiser, plasters, shopping bag, mints.
Is Ireland missing from that map or am I not seeing it?
But she weighed in every other day too so she was the correct weight every day so far. One day she's 100g over and she loses her chance for a gold medal. That's harsh AF.
I think it's too early to say if there's an impact on litter yet. It's only been a few months. I do volunteer litter picking in my area and plastic bottles are part of the waste but mostly it's other stuff, so I don't think it will make a big difference.
We have kerbside pickup so now it's just made it either more expensive or more hassle... I hate it. People who were already recycling will be the ones who bother to keep another bin for just these returnables and then go to the shop to put each one in the machine individually, then get a receipt, then go to the shop to redeem it for money. It's a huge hassle and the machines are a waste of energy and ugly.
Ireland implemented this year for plastic bottles.
I keep coming back to how it's beneficial for the corporate overlords financially to not have to have massive offices, overheads, and all those in office perks. This keeps me believing WFH is the future.
