And now I have a sinus infection 🙃

I wasn't feeling tea so I made some sipping broth with what I have on hand in the pantry. Came out good, the drop of sesame oil gives it a nice mouth feel too. #broth #sick

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

12% of grocery store profits come from SNAP. That stat stuck out to me. We are nit on SNAP and maybe you aren't either. But you need to understand the ripple effect. They'll want to make up for that 12% loss in profit. How do you think they will? Your groceries will become even more expensive.

“Illustration of Jane Goodall seated with a dog beside her, paired with her quote: ‘You cannot share your life with a dog… and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.’ Ready Pup Go! logo appears in the corner.”

Jane Goodall’s passing leaves a profound silence. Her belief that animals have minds and feelings continues to inspire how we relate to them.

Here’s her voice today—a reminder to treat every dog with respect, empathy, and curiosity.

So it looks like there's some exceptions.. it is still very unclear though.

I just woke up to find this.... saphnelo is made in Maryland but packaged and distributed from Sweden and Netherlands. There is a single US manufacture of Azathriopine. Who the fuck knows where HCQ is is being manufactured... how many insurance companies are going to deny coverage...
