The missing workers who are never coming back

Close to half a million working-age people lost their lives to COVID.

Before heading to bed, had to share this goofball’s happy dinner dance moment. It happens every day, and I envy the routine simplicity and pure enjoyment she gets from a can of mush. #DogsOfMastodon #AdoptDontShop

My scratchpad of notes, links, etc. Putting here for now.

I sat by an election denier on the airplane and he started poking me in the arm to be emphatic about his views on people stealing ballots secretly and the airplane was full and I couldn’t move anywhere so I started explaining the yellow fever in very great detail, all the way down to telling him about the bloody vomit that looks like coffee grounds and it worked. He stopped talking to me. The moral of this story is you can’t out-weird an academic; our toolset is too vast. #vastearlyamerica

I'll be honest here, as a humble instance admin receiving all kinds of DMs and emails...

The abuse, excessive reports... folks our instance grew from 60 users to 22000 in the span of two weeks. I didn't expect to suddenly commit 6-8 hours of my day to this. Knowing I have other commitments like a day job and other things.

I'm burning the candle on both ends here. Look at this toot timestamp. Please save space for some patience.

Y'all clearly don't remember this image:

Scam Alert!

If you receive an email or response on Mastodon like the following, DO NOT click the link. It is a scam fishing for login details at the very least.
