Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Symptoms of long COVID can last up to 2 years after infection, research suggests.
"Some 23% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 between 2021 and 2023 developed long COVID, and in more than half of them the symptoms persisted for 2 years."

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

Sojourner Truth fought slavery through powerful speeches, activism, and legal action. Her “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech challenged racial and gender oppression, and her legal victory in freeing her son was groundbreaking. 164 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

To summarise.
COVID-19 is damaging people’s immune system… and it’s getting worse… and we have evidence… and it’s going to produce drug resistant bugs
and we are not doing two simple things to stop it.

If you as a parent do not want your child to read about something, that is your job as a parent to oversee their reading. It should absolutely not affect what children who are not yours are reading.

I stepped outside to feed the feral kitty (I cannot think of a good name for them) and heard popping and cracking sounds that concerned me.
There is no fire but the overly large pine on the hill behind the house is leaning in a way it was not before.
I think it's going to fall. 1/2

My feral cat is getting less wary of me. They do the "big stretch" move in my presence, but not close enough to touch of course.
Had to prop one of the cat shelter doors open so they would use it. Kind of defeats the purpose although I'm sure it's still warmer in there than it is outside.

Hello Bluesky :)
I could use some help coaxing the feral cat I am feeding into the heated shelter I have put out for them.
I provide food every morning and afternoon. They are less wary of me but won't approach.
The shelter is new and unused.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
