The blood moon has come and passed. The hubris of the man who dreams of being emperor becomes ever more leaden with consequences of his own making. As ever more people stand with the extinct tusked beast, giants fear how and when they might fall.

You capture ideas like fireflies in a jar - sometimes running, sometimes failing, but always ending with a glow in your eyes and a treasure to share. Good luck catching those fireflies today, my friends.

#SCOTUS Really not looking forward to the Brackeen hearing on Wednesday during which attorneys will argue that the Indian child welfare act discriminates against white people who want to remove native children from their communities. 😒

Performed a procedure on a nice guy. We chatted about our kids. He was an inmate in a maximum-security prison. Serving life. During the procedure, I found cancer. Then the tough talk; not good.

Just before his guards were going to escort him back to prison, I asked him "Anything else I can do for you my friend?" He said jokingly "How about a footlong turkey sub?"

I ran to Subway and bought him the sub. After I gave it to him, he said nothing, but shook my hand.

#feditip: add .rss to the end of most pages you see on a Mastodon server to get an RSS feed for your RSS reader.

Level 2: go about your day without internet, then in the evening settle down at your Computer Desk with a nice cup of tea to RSS-digest the day's shitposts.

Level 3: Aggregates your RSS feeds into epub format. Load the output onto your 2000's e-ink e-reader via USB cable. Sit in an overstuffed armchair with a nearby lamp, say aloud "Ah, yes, today's internet" and sip your port.

Requiring folks to be “positive” all the time is not inclusive, it’s tone policing.

#Mastodon rules: you fav to remind yourself. You boost to share with others. It’s not like/retweet on Twitter. HTH.

By day I'm a quality advocate at Species360, a tech non-profit in Minnesota, USA. By night, I'm an avid ice hockey enthusiast, sports lover, reader, wife, and dog/cat mom.

I didn't post much on the birdsite and probably won't here but do love to others posts. I love all things , , , and .
