“..Why do you always carry a giant carrot around?”
Nathan: “To make people smile… You see, one day I went to an op shop and I bought a giant turnip. I was carrying it home and noticed how much it made people smile. That made me feel really good! ..then I made the giant carrot and carried it around town and I noticed a big difference. The diversity of people smiling and the number of people smiling was much greater. So I just kept carrying the carrot around because it was the most successful thing at making people smile.

I try to get out as often as possible but you have to be in the mood to do something like this… today I’ve been out here for about an hour and a half and I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of smiles. This is what’s so good about it, if I want to do something good I just grab the carrot and head on out.”

I'm in Leeds this weekend for my sister's hen do. As part of the celebrations we went to a pub called Wapentake and I learned something:

Margaret and I are new to Mastodon but we've been sharing our retirement tales on Twitter since the start of this year.

Here's our story so far, in a hundred images!

Realized I never said "unquote" after reciting a famous poem in 10th grade. Sorry if you thought everything I've said since is Shakespeare

I don't know if anyone else gets anxious about phone calls but a little tip I've learned is: if there is a phone call that I don't want to make, before I start dialing the number, I carefully hold the phone in my hand & toss it gently into a lake. I hope this advice helps others.

True: "RSV and flu are surging in part because people have largely abandoned the public health measures implemented during the height of the Covid pandemic, such as masking and social distancing, which suppressed circulation of these viruses.."

Psudoscience starts when the lack of infections during the precautions is blamed. No mention of Covid associated lung damage and immune deficiency.

There is much to be done to correct misinformation.
