I left GoodReads because I didn’t like it (or who owned it) and switched to StoryGraph last year but I need friends there. As my brain continued to recover from ECT I’m back to reading more and I want to see what my friends are into too! Find me if you’re there! app.thestorygraph.com/profile/ging...

How about those Milwaukee brewers? They are doing great. I’m so glad we have them and no other local sports teams that I spent time watching…

I went to the mall with her specifically because she had certain things she needed to get. I went to all the stores I wanted to and let my kids go to all of the stores they wanted to, and then finally my sister got to her store and I complained that we were all tired and wanted to go home. Very rude

Real sisterhood is knowing that if your sister tells you that you were really mean to her in her dream last night, you absolutely owe her an apology for somehow letting her subconscious think you were a bitch.

A power outage? What a great start to the day. I know that my first instinct should be to go find somewhere else to work since I can’t work from home right now but it’s also a brutal thunderstorm and that’s perfect weather for staying in bed. Plus I feel like crap and I have so much PTO

It’s been a rough 24 hours at my house and I’m exhausted. I called in sick to work today to help my kid cope with unexpected and poorly executed dental surgery. Both kids have been sick all week and as thanks for my care they have now shared. It’s amazing.

Flock's surveillance network has been used to stalk women, check if an ex-girlfriend visited an abortion clinic, and establish driving history across state lines contributing to probable cause for marijuana possession. And that's just in Wisconsin. www.aclu-wi.org/campaigns-in...

Instead, we have to "earn" followers and "prove our value in the marketplace of ideas" like we're selling something other than how to keep yourself alive.

I get 2FA is more secure. But I loathe having it on multiple systems that I use for work, all using different apps for the authentication. I hate it even more on a system that logs you out after 30 min. Not idle mins. Just 30 min since I last logged in.

On this day 65 years ago, Milwaukee gay bar patrons resisted anti-LGBTQ+ violence in what became known as the Black Nite Brawl, a precursor to Stonewall.
On August 5, 1961, four party-going sailors entered Black Nite, a popular St. Paul Avenue gay bar in Milwaukee, on a dare. They started a fight with the bouncer, only to be chased out of the bar by gender nonconforming Black "queen" Josie Carter. The men later returned with reinforcements and began to tear the bar apart, but were met with stiff resistance by bar patrons.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

That ADHD problem where you have to do a tedious, prolonged task and you finally get into a flow and your body picks that moment to signal that you’re hungry and you need to pee so you have to decide if you’re going to go do that and risk never finishing or you’re going to ignore your body to work.

The therapist I’ve been seeing for the last 15 years is retiring. And I just had my very last appointment with her. That feels really bittersweet. I met her because we originally worked in the same clinic, so I’ve known her even longer.

It’s been half a year since all of this really started, but my mom FINALLY has a neurology appointment on Friday (original estimate was early next year). I have refused to be anxious about her prognosis until we had a real diagnosis, but it’s starting to set in. I don’t think it will be good.

My adderall this month has been SO MUCH WORSE than usual and a quick internet search reveals that lots of people have had the same issue from this company. I hate playing manufacturer roulette every month. You can’t ask for a specific brand though, because that’s drugs seeking behavior apparently. 🙄
