HMPV can progress to severe pneumonia. In otherwise healthy babies it takes up to 8 weeks to clear the immune system. And the test for it is so rare/expensive we haven’t even confirmed the diagnosis yet. But at least the doctor believed us that he IS sick.

Little man’s on a nebulizer now, getting albuterol treatment to open up his airways and keep him breathing. He hates it by the way šŸ˜‚ but at least he can breathe now.

NEVER give up if you think something is wrong. Find a dr that will listen.

I think I’m doing it wrong, every Friday I realize my timeline is too busy and I start unfollowing accounts. I’m going full Marie Kondo on Mastodon right now šŸ˜‚

Can we make #UnfollowFriday a thing too?

Would you look at that! We’re officially on the map at https://mastodon-near.me now!

These are all great ways to discover the right instance for you. But no matter where you came from or how you got here, we’re all happy to have you!

I received a report about transphobic posts from someone on newsie.social yesterday, and found out that the individual had an account elsewhere as well. Both are suspended from nutmeg.social, we don’t tolerate discrimination or hate here.

ā€œBoth sidesā€ arguments are not in good faith. It’s a lie some journalists tell themselves. Trans rights are human rights, and the ā€œother sideā€ doesn’t deserve to be part of the conversation.

Hey nutmeg.social! I’ve added LibreTranslate support to our instance.

LibreTranslate is an open-source translation service that we’re able to connect to. It doesn’t seem 100% accurate but, like most open source projects, is constantly improving over time.

You can access this via the web interface—if someone specified their language in their Mastodon profile, then the translate service will offer to translate the post for you.

Check out the attached screenshots for an example!

What a beautiful #sunset in #Connecticut — hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

On Black Friday, I bought a lot of coffee—then, my wife gave me a ā€œ12 Days of Coffeeā€ advent box, plus a 9-bag subscription to ReykjavĆ­k Roasters (my favorite roaster from #Iceland) on Christmas. I’ve been a little backlogged to say the least…

Today, I finally get to try the first coffee from my advent calendar, Sleigh Bells Holiday Blend!

Smooth body, creamy and chocolatey finish. If I had more it would definitely make a good after-dinner drink!

New year, new notebook...and what better way to survive corporate management than with the world's best boss himself?

Each page has a quote from The Office. A great Christmas gift that I'll be able to use daily!

Not a waterfall, but the view from only 20 or so minutes into the hike was incredible.
