So, if you are wondering why I was late to start live post yesterday, this is what I was trying to fix with my friend: It's a Roomba.

First time I've seen a motherboard of a clean base covered in plastic blister pack. Most likley to prevent dust from getting in, but it made it pain in a butt to repair.

This image shows the inside of an electronic device, likely part of a control system. At the center is a green printed circuit board (PCB) with numerous tiny components and solder points. Several wires are connected to the board: a red-and-white twisted pair, a red wire, and a white wire, each leading to different parts of the device. The red and white wires are secured with a yellow adhesive near the top left. At the bottom, a clear plastic tube is attached to a black circular component, possibly a sensor or pump. The board is housed in a clear plastic cover, revealing intricate electronic pathways and parts.

A young boy appears to be using his hands to eat a pie. He surrounded by yellow green and blue plastic dishes, cups, and saucers, and a pitcher.

I been chewing the cud because there’s flu in the blood
and there’s shit in the water of which none till the flood
there’s more co2 there as proportion of the air
than since complicated life was just a chance damn rare
and though we knew enough to be imbuing the mud
with nutrition as we ought we haven’t understood
or more tellingly forgetting each ecology scare
jesus properly wept seeing us come unprepared
to the dusk of the holocene cos we chose the polythene
teflon gone wrong when there’s non stick copper
with hygienic properties and heat stressed pottery
and that’s just the pots and the crockery
don’t even get me starting with the tupperware
or vinyl extensions in my eldest daughter’s hair
or my baby’s teddy bear always moulting majorly
and we still haven’t named the supply chain slavery

I'm pretty sure concerns were raised about the effect of #plastics and #pseudoestrogens in the environment being a likely source of reduced male fertility in consumer-culture nations ~30-some years' back.

Alas, no surprise additional complications are now showing up with #microplastic contamination. 😢

Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, but much of the waste we send to the landfill comes from products which offer no sustainable alternative. (Take a moment to inventory the plastics in your home.) What can I, the consumer, do to improve this situation? #environment #plastics #sustainability
