@nprofile…xcsy I spent it on my roof. Could see the fireworks from 2 adjacent cities.

@nprofile…fe4j Has been over 2 decades for me. Supposedly they're in my state now, or were a few years back, no idea how stable the population is or whether they'll spread.

@nprofile…fe4j That one's iffy. Roses are perfectly edible and can't harm you, unless of course someone sprayed pesticide. Rainwater used to be safe to drink after the first few minutes of the storm washed all the dust away, but now there's things like microplastics etc. to worry about, apparently.

@nprofile…fe4j I could tell you the WRONG way to say this. 😬
Nowadays I just tell people I'm face blind. Seems to go over better.

@nprofile…2s9n Tried resistance exercises yet? I have a gigantic rubber band I use for my hands.

Hey, does anyone have a list of resources for someone who is rapidly losing their sight and isn't aware of anything like screen readers or other blind accessibility software? I can suggest a few things I've heard about, but it would just be the two of us googling, really. #Accessibility

@npub1h29…gq7w Reminds me of how my brother has to put his phone in a faraday cage in order for his TV to work properly. 🤷‍♀️

Still a bit shocked by the anti-vax rhetoric I heard this morning from someone who I thought was a sensible and well-informed individual.
We've lost the disinformation wars, y'all.

@npub1gr8…c639 Occasionally a carousel unicorn drives a brown van past us in my AFMBE game. It's when he doesn't keep driving that we run.

@npub1gr8…c639 Also doesn't help that every TV show for kids older than 8 has a romance arc.

@npub1gr8…c639 Well I could make something custom in leather, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to spend that much. 😆 Have you tried figuring out the capacity and adding that to your google search?

@npub16mz…hm5n This. I had to pay out of pocket for my asthma medicine once, and I'm pretty sure powdered gold would be less expensive.

@npub1gr8…c639 Recumbent bike was how I recovered from my personal physical low point. Of course mine wasn't heart-related....

Met with belt commission guy again and convinced him that the pattern he sent was too small for him. He gave me some deer leather he'd been hanging onto for ages, and we discussed colors. Now should be good to go once he gets paid (and then pays me, obvs).

@npub1gaj…78dz It's a sneaky way to hire only upper-class folks who can afford to work for free while they get in their 3-5 years' experience. It's especially bad in publishing and certain parts of the film industry.

@npub1gaj…78dz Unfortunately this is nothing new. They've been doing it since the 90s at least.

@npub1gr8…c639 I always felt like her comment was more about how she would have lived her life differently if she'd known there were such pure and beautiful things in the world. That it wasn't so much her age as it was her sins that weighed on her.

@npub1gr8…c639 One time I rearranged our supply room without asking first, and someone else sort of obliquely took credit for it. Problem was, my boss (like everyone else) was fed up with her shenanigans. I bit my tongue as she got the mild chewing-out that he'd been waiting for an excuse to give her.
Eventually I did take pity on her and said, "I'll change it back if you need me to," and my boss was like, "Oh. Well if it was you, then it's fine." 😁
(It helps that I was always fixing his stuff.)

@npub1nvp…agzg Do not plan to drive anywhere that day if you can help it. We had to head home from grandma's right after the last one because the kids' first day of school was the next day, and I do NOT recommend it.

@npub1gr8…c639 I generally translate that as, "Wave around a string for me, human! Do it now!"

Moved all my fish into the (smaller but empty) aquaponics tank upstairs. Just didn't feel comfortable having 20 gallons of water so close to my electronics, and it was there or beside a drafty window in a room with no heating. Will be a while before I set up the big tank again, because I want to try to get rid of the snails in the gravel first.

@npub1gr8…c639 My go-to is "I'm too much of a perfectionist." They hear: attention to detail, no need to micro-manage, probably puts in long hours.
(Assuming I get to that stage of the interview, which is the hard part.)

@npub1gr8…c639 I like canoeing. Once did part of the Green River with a competitive rower, he taught us enough as we went that we overtook the rest of our group despite the first boat being like 1/3 of the way done when we started.
