Immunocompromised 🇨🇦 teacher trying to keep my husband and I healthy in this weird post-public health world.
I also like nerdy things and have too many cats
This is not sustainable
Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop.

"A data center like Meta’s, which was completed last year, typically guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day. New data centers [will] require millions of gallons of water a day"

The fact that pretty much everywhere is blaming current governments for costs associated with a pandemic is ridiculous

Getting my infusion today and a man walks into the infusion clinic and says to the nurse, “I’ll put a mask on so I don’t give you my cold.” As he walks past me, no mask, sounding absolutely awful 😣 Just thankful I already took all my pill premeds and don’t have to remove my mask anymore.

Wow, Bluesky is really starting to take off! I’m slowly seeing most of the people I followed in that other place show up here. So nice since the other place seems to be becoming an EM echo chamber

You know what’s neat? When students in my class feel comfortable asking for a mask to wear just because I wear one, even though I only teach them once a week. I’ve never talked about masking, I’ve only said I wear one because I can get really sick. Grade 2s are cool that way ❤️

Yesterday, my hubby and I took our cat to the vet. As soon as the veterinarian saw we were masked, she left and returned wearing one of her own. So appreciated, especially because she didn’t even ask if we wanted her to wear one.

Another masked infusion photo, from yesterday. I was at a new clinic, and the nurse thankfully wore a mask, but it shares space with another business and no one there did. Doesn’t make a lot of sense
