Work farms? No no no— these are wellness farms! Completely different! The labor will be very therapeutic! Plus, if we determine you’re taking medication for any co-occurring disorders, like ADHD or depression we’ll get you clean of that crippling addiction pronto.

Love this style! Try searching for “blanket shawl” to find pieces with this drape.

Webbed toes help them swim more efficiently. As more and more furniture moved indoors, the shape of the legs and feet evolved to the drier climate. You can still find modern pieces where the look has been replicated, but the webbing tends to be decorative in nature, not functional.

Agreed, but the author is not highlighting the lack of public spaces in general, but specifically a lack of public spaces where there isn’t an expectation to spend money.

In my experience, the expectation to spend is greater at indoor spaces than outdoor, so with this distinction, I agree with the author. If taken as originally written, I would think the number of outdoor public spaces far outweigh the number of libraries in any community, but YMMV.

I would imagine the author is referring to indoor public spaces, to which I wholeheartedly agree.

Wildflower seeds! Bonus if they’re native to the state/area. Packets cost a couple bucks. Add a small terra cotta pot for another couple bucks, or DIY some seed bombs and wrap them in a piece of fabric cut from a shirt/sheet/whatever you are considering discarding anyway, tying with a contrasting color of thin fabric.

For the kid in your family, I would suggest researching the wildflowers native to their area, and writing out or printing directions for them to make the seed bombs themselves. Maybe giving parents of said kid $10 to purchase soil for the project.

Check out Wirecutter. It’s been my go-to site for most purchases outside my wheelhouse for years. I like how they break down their findings, like pros/cons, budget picks, and picks depending on what kind of user you are (take record players, for example: are you interested in the format, but don’t want much fuss? They’ll have suggestions for an all-in-one setup. Or are you an audiophile looking to upgrade specific parts? They’ll cover that as well). They also include advice from experts in the field of whatever they’re reviewing, which I find useful.

Thanks for sharing the full paper— that was interesting!

 

Sacramento Bee: See how California cops are spending $50M on ‘wellness’: gyms, Himalayan salt, hormone therapy

The state legislature earmarked $50 million in the 2022 budget for “officer wellness” programs, with an eye toward improving the mental health of police, and documents show law enforcement has been spending that money on items that range from gym equipment to saunas and Himalayan salt.
