So this morning did not start off well.
I think Dax (my dog) might still have health issues.
2 weeks ago he started urinating unexpectedly. We took him to the vet where antibiotics and anti-inflammatories were prescribed.
Things seemed to be getting better, but yesterday I noticed that he had to go potty sooner then usual, and this morning, he woke me up an hour early to go out.
Now I'm a stress ball. What if it isn't an infection? What if it's something worse like cancer?
FUUUUUCK!

Last night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:
1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made
Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant
A good example of how you get me to back your TTRPG based on the title alone. Anti-authoritarian themes are also a plus! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hitpointpress/if-i-were-a-lich-man-3-jewish-games-by-lucian-khan #ttrpg #games #roleplay #jewish
Does it matter who owns your local TV and radio stations?
This video shows why it does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwA4k0E51Oo
The FCC is asking for comments on their rules to keep local stations truly local.

You're not imagining it: many of the most powerful and visible people in tech have been radicalized into an extremist world view that is unfathomable even in other major industries. The impacts have already been awful, and promise to get worse. https://anildash.com/2023/02/27/tycoon-martyrdom-charade/
So, I wrote about *that* mask study. We need to stop giving so much air to bad faith actors. Their goal is to exhaust us and numb us into losing empathy and giving up. Masks protect ourselves and our communities. Let’s put that science into action.

From healthcare to housing, the private equity industry is getting richer by making your life more expensive.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
