You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?

I just found the greatest thing.

This is a canary resuscitator.

When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.

By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.

Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!

This talented, georgios man. *Sigh*

Aaron Rodgers just praised Simone Biles for speaking on mental health and voicing her support all the way.

In an interview Friday with The Ringer, Rodgers credited Biles’ ability to speak freely about her mental health and advocate the same for others.

Via CBS Sports:

“I give Simone so much credit for her ability to speak the truth, her truth, and to answer tough questions, and to have the courage to say, ‘I’m scared’ and 'I don’t feel like I should be out there,’” Rodgers said. “She’s the greatest gymnast of all time. And mental health [awareness] is an issue that is continuing to break down the stigmas that don’t allow us to talk about it or only allow us to talk about it in a super negative, depressive, suicidal way.

"People of all ages and all professions are dealing with mental issues, especially during COVID… it’s something we should be talking about and ways to help people get through it, whether it’s techniques or therapy or just conversations letting people know they’re not alone. And that’s what Simone did. I’m very, very proud of her.”

Biles, who withdrew four finals for mental health reasons, was seen supporting teammates Suni Lee, MyKala Skinner and Jade Carey throughout the process that ended winning the Olympic bronze and silver with the team completion without the gymnast.

As CBS notes Rogers, claims, have higher platforms to deliver important messages such as mental health advocacy Biles has spoken extensively on that subject these games, doing everything from what the “twisties” are to outlying her personals struggles that issue.

“Well, we should keep talking about it,” Rodgers said. “Keep talking about ways that we individually deal with stress and deal with anxiety and deal with pressure and deal with depression or loneliness. I think that would really help. Because we, whether we like it or not, have a platform to influence people.

"And our words are often listened to more than the person who’s not in the public eye as much. So we have an opportunity – not an obligation, an opportunity – to maybe share some of our own ways of dealing with things and break some of the stigma around mental health.”

Biles has a trend in Rodgers who has “gotten to know her a little bit at times over the years,” hopes continues.
