      I’m aware you can just use the hyperlink tags to display these, but how do you paste them on your phone? Special keyboard picker?

        At least on Hexbear, I can just type a colon and then whatever I want (we have a keyword system too) and it autocompletes when I click the emoji I want in the drop-down menu

        I’m just using the browser too, no app

    But Brook, other researchers and the authors themselves caution that this study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine on 6 March, does not show that the tiny pieces caused poor health

    Great headline, the study of just 200 people showed they found the plastic in their blood, but not that this was the cause for their issue.

    Im not saying micro plastic isnt an issue, im saying the headline is bullshit.
