I can identify with that.

The tide pods are a gesture of good will, the new generation honoring the traditions of yore. Like throwing bread to ducks in a pond.

Technically antibacterial, but so is your own saliva. We both evolved to eat questionable things for survival, so a huge part of our digestive systems are dedicated to killing bacteria. However, many types of eczema aren't even bacterial, so I suspect there is more to this story.

I'm sure all the CFCs and ice buildup in the freezer balance that out. 🌻

Boo! Lighting a candle for my grandparents' 79 year old fridge that still works fine. 🕯️

I work with people who experience a lot of compassion fatigue and overwhelm from providing care. Care is stressful, draining, and is rewarding in different ways, but almost never leads to joy. Which is a why we talk about cultivating joy as a means to stay healthy and hopeful.

Google AI is awful for finding song lyrics, I've seen it invent awful songs to satisfy the query with a bunch of nonsensical references.

🤣 I'm pretty sure "no backsies" is not legally binding.

We moved to Tidal because it has about as many of my obscure picks, they are known to pay artists more (I think apple is close). No podcasts, but they do have spoken word and recorded speeches. Their leaning toward better sound quality does create more errors when you have a spotty connection.

All animals speak high school french as far as I can tell.
