Watching the neighborhood blogs blow up at the idea that the Russian plague is the "real" pandemic we need to be scared of and I'm just going to start throwing shoes. Millions of people SHOE died from covid SHOE you back alley SHOE squidsquishers SHOE SHOE SHOE
SHE DID IT AGAIN. Teacher used JKR as a positive example, & I pointed out what that person uses her $ for (harming the trans community) & she started reading the comment out loud & stopped. I pointed out that there are lots of other examples of a successful person that can be used. She ignored it.

Oh Christ, someone in my class just used the current US president as a positive example of a leader. I couldn't stay quiet. They called him responsible. I said "Responsible...? I can't agree" Lordy beans.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.
A lowlight today: my class curriculum using a photo of khon, a Thai cultural dance photo shoot without knowing what it means or what it is. *sigh*

Win for today: in the effort to do "if it takes 5 minutes or less do it now", I emptied the trash before class. Task initiation is something I struggle with, so I must celebrate the wins! #adhd

I just learned a really useful response to when you don't know what to say when someone tells you of their suffering: “I don’t even know what to say right now, I’m just glad that you told me.”
I highly recommend telling people the lovely, small, everyday ways in which they have impacted you. I’m going to practice more of this myself. It really does enrich the social fabric of the world. ☕️❤️

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Turns out the blueberry and salted caramel were my favorite two flavors, but they were all marvelous.

Listening to FAWNING by Dr. Ingrid Clayton. A thread: Fffff being conscious of problems doesn't automatically solve them. Sucks! (point made by the book) OUCH "helping people heal their wounds as if that would heal my own" More to come.
Goddamnit, a fraudulent version of The Ordinary's website fooled me just long enough for me to enter my payment information into it. *sigh* I've already deactivated the card and reported it stolen, but it goes to show that even someone who knows to check can forget or not notice something. Be safe!
