I was yet again getting angry at the leaf blower in my street and very sad for the poor worker who had to use it. I could smell the fumes two hundred feet away.
They were exploiting him the Sunday before a holiday. Must keep those driveways free of bits!
Then I thought oh, we exploit nonhumans every Sunday.
Then I thought oh, most nature writing is basically Clap for Carers.
Yeah?
Great piece in the New York Times, that finally makes all the eco actions not look like piecemeal, weird, unique events but aggregates them all into one thing.
This is exactly how this news should be reported. Black Lives Matter and MeToo issues should be reported like this too.
All three are something new: something as big or bigger than global corporations and religion.
For those of you who didn't hear it, it will be archived soon. It was a sort of "Desert Island Discs" one if you have ever heard that show on BBC Radio 4. I liked doing it very much.
I've realized that I haven't written much if anything of my many coronavirus thoughts here. So here's part one of me making up for that.
When I got the vaccine, I had a lot of side effects. I felt feverish, that was the main one. When I checked my temperature, it was totally normal. Yet I felt as if I had a virus! What was happening?
By the way, if you have a fever, and this is me speaking as someone from four generations of atheists whose mum's friend was a doctor, the thing to do is not, I repeat not, to wrap yourself in blankets. That will only drive your temperature up. My brother was once hospitalized because he had all these hot showers and blankets and drove his temperature up to 105!
It sounds stupid, until you try it, but cool things. Take off that blanket. Soothe your wrists with a cloth soaked in cold water. Your wrists have prominent veins. The cool water will cool your blood. Cool cloth on your forehead and upper arms too. It works!
So I had this side effect and I got thinking about recombinant RNA. Basically it's one level below a normal vaccine. That kind of thing is bits of dead virus. This is stuff that's telling your RNA to make the "vaccine" as it were. So it's causing a very very intimate part of you to do some different work.
So it feels like you have a virus.
I've made episode 31 all about it. Join us and donate to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
