Comrade WeezJoch and I are too old to go walkies but he very much enjoys scooties. All the smells and scenery changes of walkies but sitting down up against my feet. Doesn't get much better.

When white allies cause harm
A lack of humility almost cost me the person whom I love and the thing is, until it was brought to my attention, I had no idea that I was so deeply lacking in humility and that this state of mind was translating into questionable behaviors. In our case, I had entered into a relationship ... Read more
Dave Dawkins (D. Harrigon)What unexpected job does your character have? Perhaps they're a professional bridesmaid, or a pet-food taster.

@mlbiam collectively? nothing.
i just think that having 60,000+ people combined with anglocentric moderation, to the point where admins send moderation warnings to people like Mairin Duffy for the occasional post in gaelic is not reflective of the free software community we should be building.
Evan Urquhart đłď¸ââ§ď¸A story out of Gainesville, FL describes a man approaching a woman, then pulling out a gun and shooting her when he realized she was transgender.
Thankfully, the bullet only grazed her so she doesn't seem to have been badly hurt.
However, I found this really fucked up: A local news report described this potential hate crime as "mistaken identity." #trans #journalism #MediaBias
SlightlyCyberpunk@futurebird Oh god with the names..I have SEVEN cards for one insurance plan. There's the medical card and the dental card and the vision card...but then there's also the prescription card and the separate prescription *discount* card...and then during the pandemic they added a telehealth card, and now they've spun off a separate surgery card. These are all from the same company. All part of one plan. Why the fuck is it seven different things??
Meanwhile when I actually need service...I remember being extremely sick a few years back (well before COVID), couldn't even get out of bed...called the doctor and got told it was probably the flu and they could schedule me for a flu test. Then they tell me the next available appointment is in nine months.
People talk about "waiting in line for healthcare" in socialist systems while here in the US we get told to wait months FOR A DAMN FLU TEST!! The only damn things these companies can provide in a timely fashion is baffling piles of plastic trash!

Christopher PorterItâs not an âelectric bike craze.â Youâre looking at the future of transportation.
E-bikes are more important than EVs for transforming how we get around. Our new Tern HSD is a game-changer for our family.
