I don't know why I'm only discovering this now, but thank you! This is so useful. (Sitting in St. John's, where the next wave is in full swing.)

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Both definitely vary a lot, depending on the variety and how they're prepared. But on average, coffee is higher than tea. Espresso doesn't have more caffeine than regular coffee either, contrary to popular belief!

Not sure where that oft-repeated belief comes from.

Watching public health officials, who initially did a great job where I live, suddenly flip the messaging in March '22 to "return to normal", stating info that was demonstrably false. They still refuse to accept airborne transmission. They're either really unskilled at their jobs, or lying.

I did fill out the survey, but I've heard that implementation is going ahead in the fall regardless. So not sure why they're collecting input if the decision is made.

This is not a time when we need less social studies. It's ridiculous to look around at the current state of the world and think we want people to have less knowledge about history, politics, economics, our place in the world.

You are making a big difference in standing up to tyranny. Your decision to cancel the family trip to the United States is freaking them out. As Donald insults our nation, businesses are watching our tourism dollars dry up. Boycott all trips to the United States. www.thetravel.com/us-travel-as...

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

I'm not on Discord yet... One new platform at a time. They can look me up on FB if they're not here.

www.stavangerdental.ca At least one of the dentists there wears N95 all of the time, and the hygienists will if you ask. HEPA units in each fully-enclosed room, decent CO2 readings, very willing to work with people.

And I can give a great dentist recommendation! (It took a while to find one.)
