It's frankly painful the way that we can all be marveling at the natural world simultaneously, and yet somehow we've built a society which seems destined to destroy it, and we've given up or lost the power to stop it happening?

Anyway, I don't suppose anyone has any tips adjusting to using a CPAP machine? My husband's first night was a complete failure - I didn't hear any snoring for once, but he (and his fitness watch thingy) said he had his worst sleep ever 🥲

Ted Lasso is the Bluey of grown up sportsish tv 🥰

Ugh, I hope this is the last day for a while that I have to stress about whether it's too hot to walk to school 😬

I want a lifestyle & gardening show featuring only disabled people 🥺
Can you imagine all the clever tips you would learn?? Instead of clueless ableds constantly being chipper and saying daft things like "anyone can do this!"
(Yes I am watching Gardening Australia again 😅)

Found a precious little treasure while de-pooping the garden 🥰
Also realised I want a hashtag for garden photos that aren't necessarily flowery, so I'm going with #GardenTreasures

A small white empty eggshell sitting amongst dead grass and leaves. It's missing a huge chunk and a tiny conical snail can be seen on the inside surface.

If you criticize me for going out to empty places sitting by open windows with my CO2 monitor showing safe air during the lowest point of #COVID19 infections in eight months, I'm happy to block you. The vast majority of people are simply completely ignoring COVID-19. I'm not. But I think people have a right to make informed decisions to minimize risk while living life. If you accept the risk of driving in a car, don't bash others for making informed decisions to enjoy life. Life is balance.

Doing an AppleTV free trial, what should we watch in addition to Ted Lasso?
(Between my husband & myself we watch most genres so any recommendations welcome!)

Anyone know of non-HP fandoms that have similar fic tropes to things like potions accidents, the whole mind-reading thing, & just the interesting options provided by magic generally?
I miss some of my favourite fics & tropes from the olden days, but I don't want to go back there :/

I have the worst musk stick craving, thanks to a random social media post 😭

It's so cool having so many people in my online world who can relate to normal everyday stuff like having to pace in order to have enough energy for a shower. I don't have many (maybe any tbh) people I know in real life who understand what energy-limiting chronic illness is like, I really appreciate the community on here ❤️

Heh. I can't fill out the online consent form for my kid to walk to the off-school sports ground, because I don't have a credit card at the moment 🙃

The meerkat mask mandate you didn’t know about. By Mandy Squires

"Both Melbourne and Werribee zoos have strict mask rules in place to protect the curious creatures from catching COVID from members of the public during “meerkat experience” sessions."

Both Melbourne and Werribee zoos have strict mask rules in place to protect the curious creatures from catching Covid from members of the public during “meerkat experience” sessions. “Fitted face masks are to be worn on all experiences, behind the scenes, tours and in some animal habitats, which will be signed,” Melbourne Zoo informs potential visitors on its website. The zoo’s terms and conditions state that anyone who refuses to mask-up as directed can be refused entry or ordered to leave the zoo. Masks are also required to be worn by visitors participating in Werribee Zoo’s African cat experience, that allows humans to get close to servals. A spokeswoman for Zoos Victoria said precautionary measures were taken “to carefully manage health risks through animal care practices, such as wearing masks whenever there are animal and keeper interactions with primates, meerkats and our feline species”. It comes as the number of Victorians hospitalised with Covid each day surges again, after the state enjoyed a brief respite. An average of 116 people a day were hospitalised with the virus last week, up from 95 the week before. Covid deaths have also risen to 80 in the most recent 28-day reporting period of March 6 to April 2 — more than in the previous period of February 7 to March 5, with the latest metropolitan and regional wastewater testing revealing “increasing prevalence of Covid-19 infections in the community”.
A Covid vaccine for Australian zoo animals has been made. The Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia (ZAA) and Adelaide biotech company Vaxine developed the vaccine, called SpikeVet, based on technology used in the COVAX-19 human vaccine. “We explored a range of options to vaccinate our zoo animals and this option was selected considering both safety and potential effectiveness,” co-convener of the ZAA Veterinary Advisory Group, Dr David McLelland, said. “While Covid-19 vaccines for animals have also been developed overseas, it is more feasible to use a locally made vaccine, particularly one that has already been shown to be safe and effective in a broad range of animal species.” ZAA said the SpikeVet vaccine had an optimised formulation appropriate for animals of very different sizes and was designed to protect against all the major Covid variants, including the Omicron variants.

If I got an email that said "I look forward to your early reply" I would mentally shove it to the bottom of my to-do list, I think.
If you had an actual reason that you needed a reply by a certain time and mentioned that reason I'd move it to the top.
Is it just me or is it a really passive-aggressive sort of phrase?

JFC the minimises are out here now saying viral persistence is good for the immune system 🤪
Honestly to dog I've never wished chronic illness on so many people in my life. If it's so good for you, have mine!! Take all the chronic illness from those of us who fucking know what this life is like, set us free and you can fucking have your viral persistence. I wish you joy of it!

My town lets you request street trees be planted anywhere you can keep an eye on them and water if needed. I am responsible for four trees on my block, and just requested three more. It's great to know that I'm literally throwing shade.

The front garden was all quiet this morning so I took the opportunity to empty and refill the birdbath. As soon as I finished the birds started appearing, and now it's alive with birdsong again 🥰
So blessed to be able to carve out these little miracles on a micro scale, while the world seems to burn on a macro scale 🥲
