Hot Springs, playas vacías, bosques y morapio: explorando la isla griega desconocido de Ikaria | Receso en las islas griegas – ButterWord

On a trip to the eastern Aegean isle with my mum after my dad died, we found inspiring landscapes, delicious local produce, and a profound sense of peace

It took me long time to realize that if there are so many jokes about neurodivergent / bisexual sitting there might also be desk chairs meant for people sitting legs up.
Good news: there is. I found #Pipersong and #Ikaria.
Bad news: it's somehow even less ok for me. I need backrest, preferably stright not to clash with my high and pronounced lordosis. These chairs seems to be meant for peeps lunging forward.
Nasty feeling finding almost the thing I need, except... opposite.

Blue Zones offered hope as real-life fountains of youth – new research says they can be explained by comically flawed data

Five regions of the planet were claimed to hold the key to living past 100. Research by Dr Saul Newman of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing shows the truth isn’t that simple, writes Kevin E G Perry

The Independent
Het eiland #Ikaria - Griekenland, één van de zg. Blue Zones. In elk geval een prachtig eiland

Apart from the #island #Tilos are also #Astypalea and #Ikaria known for it's #sustainable #transformation:

https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/112466464247727732

From #Wikipedia: "In 2023, the #Greek government announced an agreement with the Volkswagen Group to transform Astypalea into "a model island for #climate-neutral #mobility", as a laboratory for developing sustainable mobility. Substantial grants will be given to replace cars and vans with #electric vehicles, and ride-sharing and demand-responsive transport will be introduced. To support this, a 3.5 megawatt photovoltaic power station with #battery storage will be built."
