Of all the absolutely random songs, today I noticed I had One Tin Soldier going through my head.
???
I don't remember the last time I heard it or even thought about it, but it's what the Earworm DJ saw fit to spin up while I was in the kitchen.
Ah, Earworm DJ: your ways are mysterious indeed.

Hey, Fedi. I have a favour to ask you. Help me help a friend. (Not financial!)
I have a friend who is all about cool bug facts. They're going through an intense patch in their life, so I would like to send them some bug facts to cheer them up. But this is really their thing, so basic search engine results aren't going to new to them.
If there is a cool bug fact that you genuinely love yourself, could you tell me? I'll save them to share with my friend over time.

The study analyzed store-purchased breaded shrimp, minced pollock, fish sticks, white Gulf shrimp (headless/shell-on), Key West pink shrimp (headless/shell-on), Alaska Pollock fillets (skinless), chicken nuggets, top sirloin steaks, pork loin chops, chicken breasts, plant-based nuggets, plant-based fish sticks, plant-based ground beef, and tofu blocks.
The authors acknowledge this is not comprehensive, but it's a start.

Foods pick up microplastics during processing. Not just ultraprocessed foods, but any kind of food handling. Think about conveyer belts, machinery, gloves worn by food workers. Plastic is everywhere.
I am aiming for minimally processed foods as much as I can for myself. (Your mileage and spoons may vary.) 3/n

I had read about the study but only just tracked down the study itself and read it. I'll share some of the parts that interested me in this thread.
I flag these kinds of threads as cursed knowledge and put them behind a CW because I know it's easy to get polycrisis-overwhelmed and you may not be able to handle food becoming even more complicated.
It's worth doing what you can to avoid microplastics -- with available spoons, on an opt-in info basis.

Voice work is collapsing as a field because big players like Apple are pushing computer generated voices.
There are more people competing for fewer jobs at lower rates. It's disastrous.
I have stopped narrating new books because I have a day job and I don't want to take paying work away from my fellow voice actors who do the work full time to pay their rent.
When people tell me they want to give it a go for the lulz or the "passive income" (ha!) I am underwhelmed to say the least. 2/n
