So… what do you do if someone accuses your dog of nipping a kid, shouts a bunch, then leaves? I should have taken a picture of the indentation to prove it wasn’t my dog, but with all the shouting I didn’t think of it. The indentation was gone before they left, and my dog can’t actually bend down to reach the kid because of joint issues, but I’m still worried. (there were a lot of dogs there, so it could have been anyone.) #advice #dog #shiba
Let’s Grow Kids is a wonderful VT organization advocating for #childcare in #Vermont. Please sign this petition saying that’s important! They have made lots of progress so far, but there’s still lots to do. #advocacy #workingclass https://letsgrowkids.org/join?fbclid=IwAR0gsyu4tsUsXXvRIPFIPubtmcgywlALwNCyEZk0QFSOL3uHYhQrfbXgPgs
Update in #LongCovid adventures. It’s been one year and a few months now. Brain fog is back, and this time it brought with it asthma (or something like it). Got a rescue inhaler for the first time in my life.
Every time I get a new symptom, my fury at the lack of #publicschool #teacher rights renews.

Instance being deleted 15th Sept 2025!I'm currently running a survey about titles where anyone is invited to take part regardless of gender or location, but if a country has under 10 participants that country is obfuscated for privacy.
There have been 1,463 participants so far, and the following countries have 8 or 9:
🇦🇹 Austria
🇧🇷 Brazil
🇮🇹 Italy
🇳🇴 Norway
🇨🇭 Switzerland
If you're in one of these countries or you have followers who are, please participate and boost!
Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScyFT9lt5FwRH78NZmQIwbs7W952ZaGtH1srEi_6UApXzTgvA/viewform
A quick survey about titles
Hello! Thanks for being here. This is a survey for literally anyone to fill in, every response from everyone is helpful. If you speak English, you're in. This survey has nine questions over four pages, and depending on your answers you might not need to see every page. It's pretty fast and easy, it should only take you a couple of minutes. It doesn't ask for any identifying information such as your email address. You'll find information about how to see the results and how to help promote after you submit the survey. It'll run for one week, ending at noon UK time on Monday 14th August 2023 at the soonest. (It may stay open longer. If you are still able to fill out the survey and click submit, your responses will be counted.) Thank you very much for your consideration!

US police departments continue to use the tech despite low accuracy and obvious mismatches.

BE VERY VERY CAREFUL ABOUT SAYING STUFF LIKE THIS.
-Most fediverse tie-ins are not architected to protect you. For instance, Mastodon Direct Messages are not encrypted and admins can access them.
-Most instances are hosted by ordinary people who don't have the time, knowledge, or resources to fight subpoenas in either criminal or civil actions.
Meet here. Support each other. Cheer each other on. Show solidarity, and elevate and amplify each other.
Organize in much more restricted environments, like end-to-end encrypted messengers like Signal.

One week ago, a court in California ruled that employers cannot be sued for spreading COVID to their workers due to lack of protections.
This week, In-N-Out banned their employees from wearing masks.
This is horrible.
Grrr what do you do if salespeople actively lied to you and you sign a bad #solarpanel lease and the people who want to buy your house don’t want the #sunrun panels. Never sign with Sunrun. When I signed up they said I wouldn’t have to pay to get rid of them if I didn’t want them for some reason, and now they’re just bouncing me between departments. if anyone has an idea about #legal stuff I’d appreciate it. #rage
