For a bit of whimsy, here's my Blåhaj friend McGill in the latest cardi I crocheted for him. I CADded his Goldfish crackers buttons and 3d printed them. He's hanging out with me while I rest. It's been a hell of a month. #MECFS #ChronicMigraine

Just listened to a lecture at a medical conference in Sydney where the presenter suggested a meeting in the U.S., “if you want to risk going to America” and the whole audience laughed. This is what we are now.

I saw a post on Instagram about how successful men have been over many decades at convincing women that looking weak and frail is attractive because women with weight and muscle are too intimidating, and they’ve done such a good job that women have internalized it and even shame each other about it.

But what if multiple animals were sent on (failed) missions to save the world and prevent the timeline we are now experiencing?

“Sian Berry, for the Greens, asked whether the Royal family had “an effective whistleblowing policy.” Traditionally, unhappy members decamped to the North of England and raised an army, but the procedure probably needs to be updated.”

Flavor Flav has invited the U.S. women's hockey team to Las Vegas to celebrate their Olympic victory.

93 yo FIL was delirious yesterday, so we took him to A&E, assuming another TIA, but he's cracked his C1 vertebra. He fell the day before. A nurse checked him over at the time & bandaged a scraped arm. Not sure how we will manage if they send him home. He will rip off his brace and wander. He has a

In what is arguably the World's Best News, it looks like India is going to spend much less time in the "fossil fuel detour" than the US or China. It is moving much more directly to clean electrification.
