Hello, blenders, and Happy Tuesday! The calendar says it's officially summer, how is everyone doing? I'm enjoying the mild weather before we go into the furnace that July usually is. Work is quite insane because everyone is under the impression that if they yell at us and set impossible timeline we'll somehow fix in 6 months all the issues that have been accumulating for a decade. I'm so sick of it, I got a few pings from recruiters and i think it's time to get serious about switching jobs. I was hoping to get promoted before i leave but my manager doesn't have any time for me so that's not happening in a hurry.

In terms of exercise, I put Tasha's KB challenge on my calendar and completed my first day, yay! My balance, endurance and coordination are so shot but i'm trying to use that to motivate me to get back to where I was half a year ago.

Ok, let's see some links. First off look how cool this drone show looks:

If any of your kids are in trouble at school and the management is not supporting them, this might be a viable solution:

And finally this study details a possible treatment for long Covid. I haven't read it fully yet and I'm also not enough of a scientist but maybe someone in the audience will understand it better:

Speaking of science, ever heard of Flossie Wong Staal, the first scientist to clone HIV?

Ok, blenders, I need to be off. Wishing you all a great and fantastic day!
