Conversation

At bedtime, my husband reads, then I sing them sometimes I stay for a bit, cuddling and sometimes talking. Today's topics for that last part included, in order:

- What weighted blankets are filled with
- Why it probably isn't lead because that's toxic
- An in-depth explanation of the effects of lead ingestion through paint or fuel fines and how it's irreversible
- other things that we learned over time are toxic
- how regulation by the state is important to keep us safe from stuff that's toxic
- why world peace is generally preferable to greed, even if we agree that having nice things is nice.

Then afterwards, I continued my "AI is stealing my job"-crisis on the couch with my husband.

Going to bed now.
