I made a friend at the Malletts Creek library today 🥰 @aadl.org I abandoned the last 10 minutes of my organizing meeting to go say hi and take the second picture 😆

Recently in a couple of my game apps I've been seeing not an x to close ads, but this "Google Play" button that takes me to the play store. Any way to get past that besides force quit and restart?

Y'all y'all y'all!!! First time! 🥰 There were MANY but as I haven't tried them before, I just grabbed a few for me and a few to share with a comrade who gave me some elderberry cuttings 💕 (New-to-you wild mushrooms need to be tried in small amounts first in case of upset stomach)

Ma'am. You are FIFTEEN years old. Your meds cost more per month than mine. What on earth. Apparently nothing a warm spring day can't fix... 😄

Ducky Battle later transitioned into Ducky Peacetime Formation and Ducky Wartime Formation, lit from above with blacklight. Then there was the tap dancing (to Bullet with Butterfly Wings, of course).

Ducky Peacetime Formation. Several small yellow rubber duckies hold up and flank a larger blue rubber ducky. A pink rubber ducky with one eye and spiky hair ("the princess") is in the lead.

Parenting is weird: sometimes your child stages a rubber ducky battle whilst humming Bullet with Butterfly Wings by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Excuse me. Are we seeing the same picture?

ICE has been under fire? They're the ones who did the murders. So tired of this language

Screenshot of mealy mouthed description of ICE being "under fire" when it is them who shot and killed two people, corrected to note ICE did the shooting and killing.

Original text: ICE has been under fire for violent tactics that left two American citizens dead amid an ongoing deportation push in Minneapolis that has roiled locals and prompted nationwide protests.

"has been under fire for violent tactics that left" has been crossed out and replaced with "shot and killed"

23!!! That's a wondrous age for a cat. I'm so sorry you have to say goodbye. I lost my old lady Bagel (18) this year and it may feel less *wrong* when they're old, but it isn't any easier.

Today I learned my union president has me blocked here on Bluesky, likely due to my opposition to AI slop / suicide-enabling tech in classrooms. What a coward - but in line with my experience with those on AFT's payroll. No problem to big to ignore, no centrist too useless to elevate.

Have you read this yet? It is concise, full of links, and pulls no punches. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response. Miyazaki said, "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." Scam Altman said we can surround the solar system with a Dyson Sphere to hold data centers. Miyazaki is right, and Altman is wrong. Miyazaki tells stories that blend the ordinary and the fantastic in ways people find deeply meaningful. Altman tells lies for money.

One of my favorite things about cats is they all have weird little hobbies. One of April's is sticking her arms (or whole self) into small gaps.

I've worked with a lot of human tissues, fluids, and waste products, but toenail clippings feels *weird*

A nail clipper sits on top of two overlapping sheets of paper for a research study by MI-CARES. The top sheet, titled "MI-CARES Toenail Collection Kit", has pictures and instructions for collecting and mailing in toenail clippings. The sheet behind is about blood spot collection.

I just spat "scoundrels, the lot of you" at this cat and her sibling before flinging closed the curtains to my bedchamber. So she's not *always* this endearing, and apparently I've become a period novel extra.
