Unclench your jaw.

Relax your brow.

Go get a drink of water.

See if you've taken your meds

Eat something.

Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing.

Because you do.

You're a wonderful person.

And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

Bit of honesty. As a rehabilitating software engineer the last 5 years have been rough since I first became ill during the pandemic. Was limping along with odd freelance jobs here and there, just enough to pay the bills, but these have dried up.

Need to start promoting myself again and #GetFediHired. Ideally freelance work as this gives me the time flexibility I need but will also consider full-time if something comes along.

I managed to also find a proper #stuckball spot in Metallica.

I'm useless at painting and drawing, but sometimes I can create a photograph that looks a bit like a painting. This Australian scene reminds me of some of the C19th landscape works I've encountered.

Update. After the American Diabetes Association (#ADA) physically evicted five members from an ADA event for peacefully handing out print copies of an editorial from the ADA's own flagship journal, an editorial criticizing the #Trump admin attacks on science…

* two senior leaders resigned in protest -- the new President-Elect and the chair of the Scientific Sessions Planning Committee;
* at least two others might have resigned, but these reports are still unconfirmed;
* dozens of members walked out of the presidential address, holding signs that said "We stand with science"; and
* colleagues launched a "shame on you" petition against the ADA.

A Tokyo team has a kidney treatment that’s helping cats live longer. Most mammals carry a blood protein, AIM, that works like a cleanup crew: when kidney cells die and clog the tubules, AIM flags the debris so other cells clear it. A cat’s AIM isn’t built to do this, which is part of why cats are so prone to kidney disease: it affects roughly a third of cats over 10. https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/focus/en/features/z1304_00039.html

At the border, a man rides up on a bicycle with a sack on the luggage rack.

The customs officer stops him and asks, “Do you have anything to declare?”

“Nothing,” the man replies.

“And what’s in the sack?”

“Sand.”

The officer inspects the sack. Sure enough, nothing but sand.

The next day, the man returns on the bicycle with another sack of sand.

Again, the officer checks it. Nothing but sand.

This goes on every day for a week.

By the eighth day, the officer has become increasingly suspicious. He sifts the sand. Nothing.

The man continues crossing the border every day. After two more weeks, the officer finally sends the sand off to a laboratory for analysis.

The results come back: nothing but sand.

Another month passes. By now, the customs officer is losing his mind.

Finally, he pulls the man aside and says, “Listen… off the record, between you and me, I promise I won’t tell a soul. But you have to tell me what you’re smuggling.”

The man looks around carefully, leans in, and whispers:

“Bicycles.”

“Rrraaaaawwwwrrrr!”
