If y'all have any leads on #remote jobs that are not programming, could you send them my way? I have my master's degree in a path that works well in the tech and education worlds, but really lends itself to most any kind of support and research supportive work. But my health simply demands #wfh.

I just drove my mom to the airport and she grabbed at the steering wheel while I was going 6 miles UNDER the speed limit (because I was "going too fast"). I told her if she did that again she loses front seat privileges. I swear, 5 and 75 are secretly the same age. #parenting

For anyone who doesn't know, @psychopete.bsky.social has compiled a thorough list of companies who feed the regime and therefore should be boycotted. It's a LONG list, & you can't avoid everything. But where we have the ability to choose, we can make better choices. #DontFeedTheBeast

Always nice to see highlight clips still being put out ESPN 8 "The Ocho". Tonight, it was pizza throwing acrobatics, rock skipping, and pogosticking. @hauntedtricycle.bsky.social and I were simply delighted watching in a bright and unburdened way. We need to celebrate the weird #sports more often.

DO NOT ignore the warnings about the Perez Hilton video. If you think it can't be that bad, take it from someone who’s been on the internet for 30 years and has seen some truly wretched stuff: it IS that bad, do NOT look it up, you WILL regret it.

Still waiting to hear if I have officially passed and I have my master's degree. I did get a text that my financial aid is being put on hold for the new semester, and when I've called in for help, I was caller 400+. So I'm hoping for a system wide issue and not a failure of epic proportions by me.

He's credited by Japan's cultural historians as having personally saved enormous amounts of folklore from being completely lost, too. Hundreds of yokai legends are only known now because he collected them from remote communities that are themseles often gone.

I have two weeks left of my master's degree program. I have been on a non-stop rant about how I'm done with school and graduate degrees are dumb for the last six months. And yet what have I just spent an hour looking at wistfully? Doctoral programs. I'm a real sicko, folks.

Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize after wake up call: newspapers mistakenly published his obituary when his brother died & what he read as his legacy horrified him speaking ill (factually) of the dead is literally the most effective way to curb living racist & Nazi public figures/politicians
There is a well-known story about the origin of the Nobel Prize, although historians have been unable to verify it, and some dismiss the story as a myth.[26] In 1888, the death of his brother Ludvig supposedly caused several newspapers to publish obituaries of Alfred in error. One French newspaper[which?] condemned him for his invention of military explosives—in many versions of the story, dynamite is quoted, although this was mainly used for civilian applications—and this is said to have brought about his decision to leave a better legacy after his death.[6] The obituary supposedly stated, Le marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead"),[6] and according to the myth went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday."[27] Nobel read the obituary and was appalled at the idea that he would be remembered in this way. His decision to posthumously donate the majority of his wealth to found the Nobel Prize has been credited to him wanting to leave behind a better legacy.[28][6] However, it has been questioned whether or not the obituary in question actually existed.[28] An actual obituary (pictured) stated "A man who can only with the utmost difficulty be considered a benefactor of mankind has died yesterday at Cannes. It is Mr. Nobel, inventor of dynamite. Mr. Nobel was Swedish." It was published on the first page of the Figaro on the 15th of April 1888 and retracted the next day.

The alarm system shorted where I'm petsitting. It was FOUR HOURS of the alarm going off before I could get in touch with anyone to disable the damn thing. If you have an alarm, leave your petsitter a code. It could save their sanity.

I never understood how Minesweeper worked and, thus, never won a game. Then I found Dragonsweeper a couple of months ago. I have played every day since. And today. Finally. I WON #victory
The end game screen for Dragonsweeper, which reads: As the deadly beast finally expires Jorge's thoughts get clouded by his troubled desires. "Is this the end? Shall I too say farewell to the battlefields, and let my body rest and be part of the bonfire?" Final Score: 189

I was an alpha tester for Spotify and I remember being blown away by how it was leaps and bounds better than iTunes. That was in September 2010. The first song I listened to was Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York". So cool that now AI can't even get my first song or first day correct.
