Pandemics might not initially seem to cash out in any particular political direction. After all, in the spring of 2020, one possible implication of the pandemic seemed to be that it would unite people behind a vision of collective sacrifice—or, at least, collective appreciation for health professionals, or for the effect of vaccines to reduce severe illness among adults. But political science suggests that pandemics are more likely to reduce rather than build trust in scientific authorities. One cross-country analysis published by the Systemic Risk Center at the London School of Economics found that people who experience epidemics between the ages of 18 and 25 have less confidence in their scientific and political leadership. This loss of trust persists for years, even decades, in part because political ideology tends to solidify in a person’s 20s.
Screen grab of New York times article that says "tick tock's return to the app store means it is now back to operating as it always did in the United States. That has raised questions about whether Mr. Trump is abiding by the rule of law or putting executive power first, with some experts saying that conflict represents the beginning of a constitutional crisis. The supreme Court unanimously upheld the law last month."
Screenshot of Washington Post article titled Trump to sign executive order to end promotion of paper straws by Sabrina Rodriguez.

"I will be signing an executive order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for paper straws, which don't work," Trump posted on Truth Social. "BACK TO PLASTIC!”

Out my window this morning, just before sunrise, a deer stood in a fog so dense and bright that the second one, not too far away, looked like the unfinished shadow of the first. You can color that in. You can call it "The History of Memory."
A Christmas tree lit up with live white candles
4 thin cross-section round slices of orange that have been dried are hung in a window with a wintery out-of-focus background (snow covered bench and wooden shed next to an evergreen). The slides glow with backlight

A wreath made of round sections of grapefruit that have been dried and layered three deep on top of each other to produce a round wreath. It has a white bow at the top and long strands of ribbon that hang down from the bow. It's hanging on a door that is mostly cropped out of the picture, but you can see the window panes that make up most of the door behind the wreath. Behind that is a wall with grey and gold patterned wallpaper
The red fritillaria bloom curls off the top of a long stalk, pointed downward with pointy petals arranged around a central yellow pistil and stamens, like a downturned cup that is spilling its contents. Exploding from the same spot at the top of the stalk is a crown of long slender leaves, parallel veins that converge finally at the pointy tips.
Screenshot that says: While not completely absent, marjoram might seem less readily available in grocery stores because it's considered a less common herb compared to others like oregano and basil, meaning there's less consumer demand, and stores may prioritize stocking more popular spices to maximize sales; however, you can usually find it in the spice section, especially in well-stocked stores or in the bulk spice aisle.
