My best friend asked whether I wanted to join her on a one week trip to a Greek island and for the first time I straightforwardly expressed that I can’t because I intend to not fly for short trips anymore because of the #climatecrisis.

I was anxious to express that, but afterwards I felt lighter. Like a weight lifted off my shoulders. And my friend understands. She will fly anyway, but I am honestly glad that I won’t.

REALITY PATCH NOTES:

- Additional pizza flavors
- Increased general difficulty again (lol)
- Removed 8th day of the week as nobody seemed to use or even acknowledge it

I’ve been kind of busy which has been making it challenging for me to keep up with mastodon, so please feel free to boost some of my old toots so we can trick others into believing I’m still actively participating.

Said goodbye to my senior pet bunny Charles today after he suffered a major neurological episode he could not recover from. No matter how sick or how old, it’s always so heartbreaking to say that final farewell and return home without them.

Teach me something useful about a subject you know very well.

Doesn't have to be a detailed lesson, in fact ideally just a few words or a single post.

Boosts appreciated, 2023 is coming and I'd like to get smarter. Maybe we can all get a bit smarter.

I'll start:

My job is voiceovers and I can tell you with absolute confidence that reading your writing out loud is like a magic trick for better proofreading.

The mouth stumbles on mistakes the eyes glide over.

I think it’s pretty shameful to say that Trump slept with a porn star…

Stormy Daniels was also a porn DIRECTOR!

I am occasionally reminded that I now own more than a non-trivial number of stained glass windows.

I'm worried about crime, so I asked a friend from Texas what I needed to defend my home. He said a 9mm, a couple of clips, and a box of shells. I put it together pretty quickly. Still not sure how it's supposed to work, though...

Kazakhstan Seizes Russia's Launch Facility at Baikonur

The most efficient place to launch rockets is close to the equator, far away from populated areas. The Soviet Union chose the open steppes of Kazakhstan to build its Baikonur Cosmodrome. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Roscosmos continued to use Baikonur, blasting its Soyuz, Progress, and Proton rockets from the facility. Earlier this month, Kazakhstan seized Russian assets at Baikonur, alleging that a subsidiary of Roscosmos called TsENKI hasn't been paying its bills. This could put future rocket launches in jeopardy.
