Awash in a sea of diamonds

Or at least that's how the snow looked in the bright sunshine. I didn't try to get out of here today but I should have apparently. It's supposed to snow again tomorrow.

I am struggling to do the declutter thing but I did get the top of the jewelry box cleaned off and untangled about a dozen necklaces. Also realized the jewelry box on top the big jewelry box (I love jewelry so I have lots) was empty. It's now filled with anime fandom pins. I need to find a display for them.

This whole day seemed to slip past me in a very unsatisfying way. So I have little to report so have science Saturday

That sounds very pretty indeed, and yay for decluttering! Every tiny bit counts.

About the raw milk article: I remember with cynical fondness one of those YT vids where U.S. citizens sharing their experience of living in Germany, where the rather strict guidelines/rules for food allowed for pregnant women was mocked. I don't know if you even can get unpasteurised milk and dairy outside of having your own farm these days, but at least up to my thirties it was impossible to get cheese from unpasteurised milk and thus a lot of French cheese delicacies weren't sold here. Which is why people regularly went to go shopping in France for such cheese, but at least for people up to my generation it was basic knowledge that no unpasteurised dairy was allowed for pregnant women and babies. Why I'm not surprised to read the name RFK in this article? /o\

If we're going to have medical idiocy you can assure yourself RFKs name will be attached.

Soon enough listeria will be on the list of things I teach and I might also put this in the A&P class where we discuss what happens to pregnant women. Germany's strict laws make sense. America it's simply suggestions. eye roll.

I also wish we'd borrow your driving lessons style of teaching but that's a whole other rant
