As a physician, this is one of the saddest and frustrating pictures I get to watch. Just sit down and cry. 💔
Premature newborns taken off their incubators are facing death because Israel has cut energy, oxygen and fuel to hospitals in #gaza. Five newborn babies have died already because of this.
My heart goes to our colleagues inside Al Shifa that are risking their lives and desperately trying to save these little angels.
Israel targeting Hospitals, children and health professionals is beyond cruelty. There are no excuses to justify this barbaric atrocity. None. We will never forget.
Dear Friends of #drones,
#Today I have been guzzling ginger beer and #sipping #Port.
Eating #Homemade #twittermass ... eh sorry Siri, X-Mass #Cake.
All delicious!
I am #pleased to report we have been #gifted:
- kettle chips, including #vegan #lentil chips. Also known as #cwisps
in the #FreeStates of #Brexit Island
- mince pies with suet but no mincing or quince
- alcohol free #Punch ... (is there a #Judy version?)
- #chocolate brownies
- liqueur chocolates
etc.
Was also able to see #Granny #Smiths #Apples (a #Pure #Consumerist Americana) latest bauble babble AI work as not intended. Our familiar friend is a '#creatives' #trainer
touting Apple as more secure than #Android/#Alexia. A turn on your tracker fan-gal
and Apple 'free' training sessions, slave/employee of the mouth
Well I must #admit I was more #tempted by the #unavailable #courses:
- #Jail-breaking with #OpenSource #Swift (no hollow #laughing at the back please)
- #Running #Debian on your McDonald's booking, Sorry Siri, Mac-book Pro
- Bartering in your VPN, Search Engine, Afri-acana #Safari #browser for a brand olde
wonderland real life computer ...
As I was a little drunk was able to be admonished by Siri on two separate spook devices ... eh ... table phones.
Yep! Peeps feel it is safe to have phones on, and on the table.
Therefore think it is OK to hijack other peoples devices by saying hey Siri and ...
talking over their efforts and issuing commands to turn themselves off permanently and provide a list of swear words they do not recommend etc.
I am a #bad, bad #juvenile #hostess. Too #Bad! More #tips #welcome?
Anyways, we all had a great #FunTime, Apart from #Siri the Artificial Imbecile (#AI)

Dear #strapping friends,
I dunz it! The newer strap #belonged to my #mother. A present from one of her childs. She had it for a year, died (mother not watch). I wore it for another year before it died (watch not mother).
The Casio strap is a #little small but ‘repair don't buy’, is my attempt to be more #selfsufficient.
The Timex watch is very good. I changed the battery about three or four years ago. Did I do good? This #time. YES!
I remember my first watch it had a self #winding #movement. My second was a fob watch … from my #grandfather …
Yes I had real relatives, like in Ye olde days … Now everyone is self created … bringing themselves into being from the future …
Just #updated the #date on my real #analogue dial, ‘stupids’ watch: #Smart enough to not need char...
Had to share…my groomer took a photo of my dogs today. I can’t!!!!! 😍 #dogs #dogsofmastodon #dogsoffediverse

Dear Friends of Real #Watches,
Just #updated the #date on my real #analogue dial, 'stupids' watch:
- #Smart enough to not need charging (#battery lasts about 5 years)
- Date and #time updates with an outer rim dial
- Can be #worn in the shower, #swimming pool to 50 meters #depth, all the time etc
- #Button push for #night time view

Mine was a #present, not very expensive. May look at some of the #extra #features. Needs a new strap. Maybe I'll make one or just found a very cheap watch and might just #transfer the strap ...
Do you have a #consumerist #clown watch and tracking, data collection, device instead? You probably use your phone. Same thing. ![]()
I find myself increasingly frustrated by specific ways the American devotion to capital makes life worse, and today I realized part of why. I invited people to this country to be my family, and now I feel responsible for how I perceive this country’s failing compared to whence they came.
Musing on this, my partner interrupted me to say that things here are better, and I should stop. I needed to hear that today!
I am entirely on board the jamstack, progressive enhancement, browser performance, a11y-first, vanilla-everything pain train, and I've been pretty good at finding jobs for my 17 years as a web dev, but I'm having a terrible time finding jobs that actually do this stuff. I'm convinced I'm not searching the right keywords, but maybe that's not it.
Any suggestions, fediverse?
For 30 years, the world has been forced to avoid the elephant in the room: the overwhelming source of the #ClimateBreakdown we are experiencing, #FossilFuels. Oil-producing countries, abetted by many rich countries, having reluctantly agreed to talk about the climate, refused to allow legally binding treaties to make the link with fossil fuels explicit. #ClimateCrisis
After 30 years of waiting, #Cop28 deal addresses the elephant in the room | #GlobalWarming

‘Elephant in the room’: The US military’s devastating carbon footprint
The US military emits more than entire industrialised nations like Portugal and Denmark, yet evades scrutiny.

Dear Friends of the #Unbroken,
... and the #broke. As we know the #world, our #experience, #resonance and #people, #parenting, #ecosystem, #politics, #ethicalcomputing, #co-operative #tendencies, people's #art, you name it ... are always #failing and #imperfect ... or as some people put it. #Exactly as they are. #Always. #Perfecting.

Dear Friends of the ...
As we know, we all have to #befriend at least #ourselves. Though, some people hate their #aloneness. This #holiday #seasoning try not to krill yourself, your #neighbours, local school children, #Carol warblers/singers etc.
You may be #crazed but are #needed:
- To #provide
- To be #cared for
- To scream into the cyberverse #abyss
- To join #Teetotallers Anonymous.
My #immediate #fam are mostly #non-drinkers. #Tomorrow as we #gather, one will probably bring wine, We have two Guinness, A bottle of Ginger Wine, four Crabbies (a real ginger beer) and two bottles of fortified wine from last twitter-mas ... eh X-Mas, that have almost been used up to #flavour puddings.
And yet this toxic #prohibited poison in Islam, is #normalised 'social lubricant'. What #nonsense! Learn to be #social on social media without being drugged. Can you #choose yet?
In other news had two soups yesterday, one for Lunch one for supper with wholemeal rolls.
12/13/23 – Open 6-9p. Mask recommended. No open containers, please.
I'm sure most of us have good times during the Holidays. But, if you find fake friends or rotten relatives mucking up your merry & bright, you may need books like this one to help get your New Year started right. This & many other recovery, emotion, & relationship titles are available in our health & wellness sections.

Today in Labor History December 10, 1907: The worst night of the Brown Dog riots in London, when 1,000 medical students clashed with animal rights protesters and cops. They had been protesting against a memorial for animals that had been vivisected that animal rights activists had erected. The Brown Dog affair raged for 7 years, from 1903 to 1910. Swedish feminists infiltrated the University of London lectures. There were pitched battles between medical students and the police. The authorities ordered the cops to protect a statue of a dog from irate medical students, known as “anti-doggers.” It led to a Royal Commission to investigate the use of animals in experiments. And, overall, it was a cause célèbre that divided the country.
