The shark tank is pretty great too. I also have it all to myself.

The stingray tank is so peaceful. I'm all alone watching them swim for the past 15 minutes.
Taking a train today, something I haven't done in 20 years to go to the aquarium, something I haven't done in 30 years.
Should be a fun day.
That's a, pardon my French, fucking crazy high number! In France, the median salary is β¬43,356 ($51,263.15) a year (gross), and with that people can afford childcare, and to live comfortably.
If only there a simple solution to type out text and make it look legible on a computer, some kind of software to edit images, someone really should get on that and fill the niche. π

A round clock with an amount of time highlighted in green clockwise
Yes, that gave me pause as well, on the left, the square autism clock, with red accents and going backwards, on the right, the round "regular" clock with green accent and going forwards.
I decided to read the version for autistic men on how a dentist fixes a cavity. I found the explanations pretty good. Then I decided to read the version for non-autistic men.
The only difference between the two versions was the shape and color of the clock. That's it, same explanations otherwise.
I just read a comic booklet provided by a French organization specialized in comic books explaining medical acts.
They let you choose if you're a boy, a girl, a woman, or a man, and if you have autism or not, or you have a motor disability to adapt the comic to you. Which is nice, in theory.
I just saw a picture from when I was in high school that was tagged "from 23 years ago"... Thanks, I wasn't feeling old today until just now...
Justice for Palestine Stop EU trade with criminals
For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizensβ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up.

Also, say what you want about the French health care system, but getting my teeth fixed is costing absolutely nothing out of pocket, everything is taken care of without private health insurance.
I just realized, I don't even know the name of the dentist I saw today, four different dentists work in that dentist office, and the one I saw didn't introduce themselves.
Dentist appointment done, they gave me four more appointments over the 6 weeks to treat the two cavities that have been causing me issues.
I called that dentist 2 months ago, they told me the waiting list for an appointment was 2 years, I'm glad I said that I didn't care, put me on the list.
10 minutes ago, I was told that I have a dentist appointment in now 35 minutes... Not long to get mentally ready, but also not giving much of a chance to overthink it and bail.

The Booktok "arrows point at at book" marketing meme
I've been taking the marketing for The Mouth Of Winter very seriously, so you should take the book very seriously.
(Genuinely though it's pretty good, you should read it)

I always stress so much before my telephonic check in with a government employee. I wonder if I'll have to justify a bunch of stuff, etc... to keep my financial aid.
And then they call, they ask how I'm doing, ask if I need anything, and schedule the next appointment. Lasts less than 2min.
I would travel and see the world.
French is easy!

Yeah, it's the same here in France over the last week it went from lows of 10Β°C to lows of -2Β°C the next day, then back up to lows of 11Β°C, before going back down to freezing, then up again, it's feels so random.
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the πΊπΈSupreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
πͺπΊCourt of Justice just ruled all πͺπΊcountries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across πͺπΊ

Yeah, it's the same here in France, while I like the idea of people giving me extra money, I really dislike the idea of having to pay a fine and being audited, so I discourage tipping.
Finally called up a dentist I saw a few years back hoping he could see me. Nope, he's currently not working for some reason.
Called the only dentist office in my town, across the street from me. They can't see me, I'm on the waiting list... might get an appointment in 2 years they said.
Finally talked to them, after about 15 minutes.
Turns out the reason one of my taxes nearly tripled this year is because my town decided to fuck over small businesses and there is nothing I can do about it.
Yay....
Me: on hold with the tax people
Them: Your wait time is estimated at less than 2 minutes
Me: Nice
