Protein: Unveiling the Dangers of Excessive Intake

Indian Flash

🦞Dear #Simple Friends,

It is too #complex:

I am not the #brightest fish on the #tandem but I try to be #smarter. #Ideally I try to stick to what #experts know. I know that an email account should just work. Trying to ‘recover’ my #gmail account, which was locked down because of suspicious #activity (from me inadvertently).

Holy mother of COD I did not think I would ever get it back. I had changed to a more secure email ‘service’ proton mail (more trouble than solution) … they start you off free and then click and bait you into a paid service. Just like every app and consumerist #twitter type free service. Hands and claws up for a better #functioning internet?

Email is olde. Now very sadly I am using #whatsapp BUT have managed to set up gmail with Thunderbird 🫶
… With the help of the good gals and #guides
https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/

I have learned:

  • simpler is better 🤓
  • good people are helping 🥰
  • FREE Software Foundation, Good people, Mastodon, good
  • more good people please ♾️

I am galloping towards supporting good, without a horse or a kingdom …

A blog post by @grimalkina on the sense of #belonging, specifically in software teams.

"Belonging isn’t just about interpersonal #kindness and it isn’t just about individual optimal #functioning. Perhaps is about what we owe to each other.

And at work, we communicate heavily about what we expect from people because they are in a #role. What about what people expect for themselves, because of their role?"

Several pointers to papers that I'll read.

Sense of Belonging and Software Teams

I’ve been reading about role-based belonging. This is a paper I’ve come back to several times in the last few months. I especially like this very clear first paragraph: As individuals engage with roles—whether starting a new job, entering a new friendship network, or declaring a new major—they ask whether they belong in that specific role: Do I fit here? Belonging is a “general inference, drawn from cues, events, experiences, and relationships, about the quality of fit or potential fit between o
