Thank you!

Anything's fashion if you're confident enough.

It's so good! I swear I spent more time nuzzling my face against it than spinning!

Science is important. Medicine is important. Empathy and compassion are important. We only have this one small planet, and what happens to our kin on other continents is far closer and more dangerous to us than we realize. Vaccines save lives and stop diseases from becoming global threats.

If you're not familiar with ebola, WHO has an easy to understand explainer. Scientists have created a vaccine for one of the three viruses that cause it, and are working on vaccines for the other two, but research is expensive and threatened by current politics.

That makes sense. Thank you!

Thankfully I've avoided complete disasters so far, but I feel it's only a matter of time. Today was the closest call yet, with box & packing paper up to the last layer drenched & smelling of a detergent that gives me hives. The book is in scent quarantine & I'm doing a Lady Macbeth level hand scrub

All the perceived advantages of his shovel were liabilities. It couldn't hold enough snow to counterbalance his body. It was harder to dig shallowly enough to allow motion. It was too heavy to move easily. His dogs had to drag him to safety so the polar bears didn't get him. Wonder what it means.

2 racers used snow shovels, which were apparently traditional. The 3rd used a pointy tipped garden spade. They debated if it was an unfair advantage & he should he disqualified, but let him race. His shovel would not hold him at the usual shallow depth or not move when jammed more deeply.
