Our local edible garden trail is on. I met a woman whoโs turned a plain grassy slope into terraced and mulched raised beds with many types of citrus, pomegranates, almonds, every vegetable, and salvias to bring in pollinators. It took her five years from grass slope to the capacity to feed her neighbours in community dinners, her next move. I came home with a salvia cutting I donโt have and Iโll send back to her some of mine. She gave me so much hope.
Misty day in the valley yesterday, but higher up, a dopamine rush of bright sun & mind-sharpening blue.
Bonus: the meteorological weirdness of fast-moving cloud hugging close to Fountains Fell; autumn grasses in tarnished golds; scattered flocks of sheep and plover; the local farmer on his buggy, old sheepdog riding pillion.
Headed back revived.

It was added to cold and flu remedies in 90s when another ingredient went behind counter over illicit meth lab concerns. Experts show #phenylephrine, an ingredient of products like Tylenol, Mucinex and Benadryl, did not work as a decongestant. FDA emphasized the ingredient was not considered unsafe. This is one step closer to getting products containing it pulled from store shelves.

I just tried it on my mastodon.social test account and didn't see an issue (I already make extensive use of them on this account, the instance for which runs stock Mastodon 4.2)
You're probably going to be flamed to high heaven for recommending the corporately owned Bluesky to Mastodon users. I... must admit to being sympathetic with that view but will avoid flaming you over it 😉
What I will say though is that I feel like nobody learns any lessons any more. We've seen what happens with social networks owned by the millionaire/billionaire tech cabal.
Bluesky is that, run by people appointed originally by an admirer of Elon Musk's approach to social media and funded in part by crypto money. It uses an unproven protocol to prove its decentralized bona fides (and I'm glad it's making the effort) but that protocol has at least one choke point, the Relays, which can only ever be corporately owned, and there's

It uses an unproven protocol to prove its decentralized bona fides (and I'm glad it's making the effort) but that protocol has at least one choke point, the Relays, which can only ever be corporately owned, and there's no incentive to run relays. (By comparison you can run a complete Mastodon instance on a $50 Raspberry Pi hooked up to a $50 1Tb USB external SSD, all in your closet gatewayed via a $1/mo VPS and $10/year domain name, and that'll serve an entire family's social networking needs. I'm not recommending anyone do that, but the fact it's possible means this will always be our network, not Musk's, not Zuckerberg's, not the cryptobros, ours.)
We need to focus on making the activitypub based fediverse more accessible and implement those features that are still missing.
I'm really against encouraging those here to leave until Bluesky proves its federation model is viable. Twitter (RIP), Reddit, even Wordpress, Medium, Multiply (RIP), Google (so many times!), have all proven that handing your private life over to a corporate third party is a very, very, bad idea.

I noticed some people mentioning how starter packs are nice at Bluesky and why they don't exist here at Mastodon. And people just get up in their feelings and it's always like "that's not how we do things here." No further discussion.
It just seems so antagonistic.
