This is a bigger change, but I switched to Bandcamp and listen to music I own. I like the process of finding music I like and saving it to my wishlist, and I mass-purchase whenever Bandcamp Friday comes around so the artist gets the whole paycheck.

It depends how much music you listen to though, and how much variety you need day to day. Realise it's a bit more involved than algorithm based streaming but I also feel a lot more like I've built a library just for me.

I need to do a lot of number entry for my work, and the southpaw TKC CandyBar saved my life. I liked it so much I immediately bought a second one just in case something happened.

Then I got a Prime_E. I think people over estimate how hard it is to adjust typing habits to accommodate layers and toggles!

Seeing the public reaction to some of the military adjacent cases over the past few years has been incredibly disheartening (e.g. McBride)

I'm interested in the inevitable double whammy for those of us who grew up in both plastic and PFAS filled environments.

I can really see a future in my lifetime where plastic and PFAS exposure is identified as causing severe damage to humans and animals. I just feel utterly immersed in them whether I like it or not.
