It seems like Monsanto / Bayer have fallen out of the general news cycle - I bet they are still doing bad things. In fact with all the crazy going on in America right now they are probably getting all kinds of things done in the smokescreen.

Is there anyone out there that can make use of Itsu vouchers? Perhaps we can do a trade - My nearest one is miles away. Seems a shame to waste them.

I keep wanting to switch over to blue sky but I think I made a mistake. Leaving twitter for threads was easy as it was relaxed and positive and pulled in the people I like from IG but here I followed a starter pack and now me feed is all anime/comic art. Please don't be offended if I unfollow you.
