There are few things as weird as going back to work after any sort of vacation as a parent; I’ve been in full caretaker mode for a week and a half and dropping the twins off at daycare tomorrow will feel weird for a bit. #dadsofmastodon #parenting

Ryan Packer"Quieter areas" is literally saying the quiet part out loud. The status quo has been an assumption that multifamily housing belongs on noisy and dangerous streets for decades.
Joe VeyeraUPDATE: The Pierce County Sheriff's Department says a fire was intentionally set this evening at a Puget Sound Energy substation in Kapowsin, causing an outage impacting the town and nearby Graham. This is the fourth incident at an electric substation today. https://blog.co.pierce.wa.us/pcsdblotter/2022/12/26/kapowsin-substation-burglarized-and-fire-started/

Brad HoustonMerry Christmas to those who celebrate! To those who do not, merry Movie and Chinese Food Day!
Michael Halila 🏳️⚧️Can we also take a moment to note that "woke", as used here, was originally a Black American term for being aware of systemic racism, and in just a few years, the US right turned it into a totally content-free sneer? And the entire English-speaking media basically just ran with it, to the extent that you now hear it used in _Finnish_?
Because that's white supremacy for you. Criticism, even awareness, of the racist power structure will not be tolerated.
So I’m reading normally you introduce yourself and your interests here on the #fediverse.
I’m working in #tech PR and communications now after 17 years in local TV #journalism. I live in #Seattle now but spent several years in #portland . I’m pretty #music and #sports obsessed, particularly #soccer.
I’m a #biracial, #Jewish man, proud to be #Black #blackmastodon and very aware of the privilege my white skin grants me. But I’m also here for jokes and relating to fellow #dadsofmastodon.
