Brought home a christmas tree tonight and now one of my panniers smells like christmas tree.

I should probably clean it at some point, but for now... sniffs pannier ...mmm, good smell.

Reposting from someone on another platform (with permission) because I feel like I've seen articles posted on here that would fit this description...

does anyone have articles or opinion pieces in their back pocket that they can link me to that describe intersections between COVID and other systemic injustices? I'm working on a paper for my PhD and I'm using covid to make the argument that periods of crisis get narrated as crisis when they pose a threat to the status quo, and crisis gets narrated as ordinary when action to prevent the crisis poses more of a threat to the status quo.

I wanna drop in reference to intersections with things like economic inequality or prisons (or anything else I'm sure there are loads of intersections) to point out that part of why covid 'ended' was that addressing it properly was starting to pose a threat to neoliberal normality.

(and this is a topic of interest to me as well!)

#CovidIsNotOver

Seeking recommendations for nice headphones:

• over-the-ear type, with large ear cups (is that the term?)
• bluetooth connectivity just works with minimal fussing (some devices IME seem to be much better at this and I don't know why)
• reasonably intuitive controls; strong preference for physical buttons

Bonus features would be an aux input jack that allows for using them as wired headphones and maybe the option of noise cancelling.

What are good options for having a virtual watch party these days?

I'm thinking something where a handful of people can join an audio/video call (also with text chat) and watch a movie together.

Preference for something that's really designed for this - I've tried to do it with regular screen sharing on a video call and it has not been great.
