I am now obligated to post this, the most apt description of the Tooth Fairy ever committed to film.

I had to immediately tell my oldest that the tooth fairy was not real after explaining the concept because he looked terrified and asked me directly "mom, is the tooth fairy really real?" Seemed completely freaked out about a stranger coming into his room while he slept. Told him it was me.

It doesn't taste diluted the way other things do when I add them to try to cover the salts, even though it is diluted.

I use pure/natural/unsweetened cranberry for this purpose (covering the taste of sea salt based electrolyte drops), but not sure if it helps me hold on to the electrolytes.
I use about 3/4 cup in 1L of water with the electrolyte drops. My kid tried and said it was "too sour" but I like it.

Also there's some evidence norovirus spreads in the air, at least at close range. So like, her argument fails on that front, too.

You have an option to say “even though me going unmasked puts every vulnerable person around me at risk, and makes it harder for them to engage in society, I’m going to do it.” You can say it. Republicans *love* saying that. If you feel uncomfy about it, maybe your actions don’t match your values.

When going out to protest, the goal shouldn’t be to get arrested. Do not run yourself into arrests. Do not just hand yourself over to the state.

Get stuck in to the patient community! (And if you haven't read the pacing guide from ME Action, it's really good and helpful)

I find I do a lot of starting things that might help, and then not being sure if it's helping and not knowing if it's worth continuing but being scared I'll get worse if I stop.

If you do talk about supplements, maybe some guidance on the ones most likely to be helpful, whether they tend to be helpful alone or in combinations, and how long it usually takes before people who see a benefit see that benefit?

If you're wondering how to meet this moment, look to land and water protectors. Doesn't matter where you are. People have been resisting authoritarianism and settler colonialism for hundreds of years.

If you want to write heroes in the year 2025, you have to decide what they stand for, and then stand for it. The mealy-mouthed, offend-no-one approach no longer works. People respond to the Walter Whites bc you can put truth in their mouths. So put truth in the mouths of the good guys.
