Obligatory plug: Check if you're registered to vote here!

https://voterresource.org/saraht

If you're not, the link will get you started.

You can register to vote in ALL states through Oct 2. And in most states, after that too. (You can find your state's deadlines via the link!)

(The link asks for name, DOB, & address... bc it needs that to check if you're registered to vote)(It's not the Elon Musk fake voter registration link. It's mine & it connects to a 501(c)3 that does voter registrtion.)

It's a genuinely lovely webpage dedicated to a U.S. military dog called Nick, who retired earlier this year and was adopted by his owner, and clearly beloved by his team.

GOOD PUP. YOU SERVED YOUR COUNTRY. WOOF!

@Infoseepage it will not

This warning is known to make you think about the State of California

I want all computer touchers, starting with everyone in infosec, to spend an hour once a month with a 70+ yo person helping them re-login to their healthcare, banking, email, and landlord’s apps, along with the inevitable side quest of recovering their primary icloud/android account

@evacide I was afraid of that.

Pippin and Gandalf pretend they don't like each other, but I caught them cuddling.

In under the wire! There's precious little available online about the Female Parasol and Umbrella Makers' Union of New York but they had a big strike and got all up in Bambergers' face about attempting to hire scabs. Plus they maybe had wild parties. I consolidated what I found.

cannot repeat this enough:

#misogyny and the normalization of #rape is one of markers ―if not the most important marker― of #fascism.

indifference to rape, the most cruel act of violence, is a complete abdication of empathy.

without empathy, corruption is law. in a world led by indifference to suffering, fascists can use racism, ableism, xenophobia, pedophilia, bestiality, ecocide, hate to thrive.

that’s why fascists need corruption to survive.

and why cruelty is the point of fascism.

Welp, I can officially say that my birthday has been a good one.

The princess took an earring off and held it out.

The raven looked at it. "Whatever for?"

"You are wise and clever. Many princesses have dragons, but none has a raven friend."

The raven picked up the earring. "Say no more."

"Friends?" she asked when it returned the next day.

"Forevermore."

@andypiper I suppose it's possible make one by adding a ESP32 to a non-wifi one

@andypiper You just know that a Product Manager somewhere got an alert: Demand for Smart Salad Spinners has gone up by 100%!

@MichaelTBacon Ha! Good one. :)

@bok got a sample of the work it's done so far? I assume you got photos of all the stamps and you want back a list of the names of the stamps? what is it identifying?
