Learn? What is this learn of which you speak?
#JuniorDoctors #strike starts today, and so as before; when your appointment has been cancelled, when your #healthcare has been disrupted, please do not get annoyed at the striking #HealthService staff.
They have gone on strike as a last resort, after years of #tory attrition towards the #NHS and a radical decade long program of defunding of our health service.
Direct your anger & blame towards the #Tories & #JeremyHunt who have been instrumental in causing the #nhscrisis
Technically, just doing less bad is doing better.
So, my partner was sunning hisself on the varanda when he asked me to get him another beer AND open it,. When I asked him if he'd like me to press it to his lips, too, he said, "No but a sippy straw would be nice."
We have a little baby avocado tree in the backyard that got old enough to produce a couple of years ago, and it works for us.
@geekyonion @ScottSoCal @peterb If I can be a plant nerd for a moment, I've always found the avocado toast thing to be hilariously strange. Avocados literally grow on trees in California, and anyone who wants to grow them in their backyard can plant one and in a few years have more than they can possibly eat. (We were getting over 2000 avocados a year from a tree at a place we rented a couple of years ago.)
@ScottSoCal I have Fireweed, a purple tall cover that bees love. But I need to put some between my apple trees to bring them close.

I've heard that if they just stop buying a fancy coffee every morning, their finances will sort themselves right out.
Which is why it's not just important, but absolutely necessary that we don't let them gain even one victory.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
