@thatsajellyfish This is hilarious @zannehorrell

@SiouxsieW Not just carry a baby... but also take responsibility for another entire life. Raising a child through to adulthood is no light matter either.

Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.

WHO: airlifted 33 metric tons of med-supplies in Feb for 1st time since Jul`21, for 65 facilities. WHO requested to deliver further 95MT, 2000 needed but no fuel for internal logistics. 46000 need ART, but no access. Same for other chronic illness. No comms=forgotten crisis

[Sarah Downs 🇿🇦 @TheSecretSarah]

WHO: 6 Million people under blockade in Tigray, 500 days. No fuel, No cash, No communications, 83% food insecure, yet no food aid has been delivered since mid Dec. 3-quarters of health facilities WHO assessed were damaged or destroyed.

@EttySh And I immediately forget what they said. My memory is wired to reading.

[Stanzi le Roux @LerouxStanzi]

@EttySh Hate them so much! People also talk (read: waffle on) for longer than they would've typed... partly because of all the "uhm"-ing while they also try to focus on whatever else it is they are doing at the same time. Trult efficient "multi-tasking" is a 90s myth

[Stanzi le Roux @LerouxStanzi]

@EttySh Must admit though... if I was forced to choose, I would take a voice note over an actual phone call. I hate talking on the phone.

[Stanzi le Roux @LerouxStanzi]

@novaxthanks @EttySh 🤣

Reviewing a paper and finding myself marking some sections as WTAF probably means I should have a break before proceeding further.
