Ugh.

I forgot to ✅ local news this week, so I missed this ⬇️ from 3 days ago… & it was worth missing.

So much about it, particularly in the last half, is so frustratingly wrong/horrifying.

My local children’s hospital is a joke/nightmare.

4/ Our school was kind of on top of a hill. We dragged our supplies to the southeast corner of campus where there was a big downward slope. On the way, we scored an abandoned beat-up, hard plastic, round, blue kiddie pool.

3/ We grabbed some trays previously borrowed from the dining hall, removed the ice machine’s rectangular door, and grabbed a chair on metal runners. There chair felt like an insanely reckless choice, but we drug it along—heck, maybe peeps would need breaks and not want to sit on snow.

1/ I’m not Canadian, but I was in an org in college that took a trip from SW Ohio to Toronto and back in the 1st days of ‘99 (during ⬇️).

When we got back to OH/school, we were the only people on campus (everyone else was a day or 2 away from returning from winter break).

After being trapped…

In the near future, if you can afford it, you’re really going to want to buy organic to not only avoid typical pesticide health impacts but also additional PFAS cancer/health impacts. 🤦‍♀️😤

Interesting how the CDC data for Ohio seems to differ from the state of Ohio’s wastewater data site, which currently (data as of 20 Nov) indicates the state has a Moderate level of COVID (overall declining but rising in 4% of sites). But who knows, maybe tomorrow’s update will be a massive drop. 🤷‍♀️

If you’d like to show respect to indigenous peoples & the 🌎 this #Thanksgiving, perhaps take a Lenten approach of sacrifice as recognition & give up all use of environmental damaging AI for the rest of 2025 (your neighbors who can’t afford poor💧quality & higher utility bills will also be thankful).🙏

Ah yes, the new method of avoiding showing how ridiculously high the incidences of Covid, flu, and RSV are in the U.S. (mind you, ONLY in those who went to doctors in specific types of medical settings AND were actually tested) by not showing case counts, just status (increase/decrease/no change). 🤦‍♀️

As one of the five people left who hasn’t seen K-Pop Demon Hunters (I wish I could justify the expense, but I can’t currently), and as a bird who eats tofu at this time of year (see last year’s dish below) and advocates against consuming my feathered friends, please dance fight and cook safely!

I know some peeps have big stockpiles, but if you’re buying new respirators, remember head strap N95+ is typically more effective than ear loops (& some KN95 are poor quality—I recently saw a photo of someone in a too big & clearly loose one complaining of a recent Covid infection despite using it).

I added ALT for the quoted post’s image, even though typing up that vile quote makes me want to clean out my eyes with hand sanitizer.

I’m going to go watch videos with cute animals doing funny things for a while…

I only just had this story recommended to me on YouTube.
If you haven’t heard about it either, you #MustWatch it right now.

Charges dropped against TN man who was arrested (and spent >1 month in jail⁉️) over a Trump meme (this ⬇️) for threatening mass violence at a school⁉️

For most in the U.S., trick-or-treating will occur Friday night (though some are starting minutes from now in the east time zone), but events may occur all weekend—and some of those events will increase the number of drunk drivers.

But many pedestrian accidents don’t involve drinkers.

Showing the quoted post as a screenshot to add ALT for that post’s quoted post which has an image without ALT… despite it providing a link to the article, meaning Mr. Sargent could have taken the 10 extra seconds to do what I did and copy that text & add it as ALT—ALWAYS add ALT for text images.

You might need to change your news source… PBS News Hour has long provided more in depth and less sensationalized coverage than CNN, MSNBC, & the networks (& about a week ago, PBS NEWS celebrated its 50th anniversary). And, as others pointed out, international sources are often a good alternative.
