Conservative parents are like "Yes my child is totally straight, I just need to shield their sensitive eyes from any books and/or rainbows because I know for a fact that will immediately turn them gay. The kid is straight as an arrow though."

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.
Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”

There's something aesthetically pleasing about yellow ants nesting in a yellow plant stem.

French authorities are now considering that using encryption (eg encrypting your harddrive, using @signalapp, educating others about privacy-preserving apps) as evidence of conspiracy and terrorism. That's much scarier than "AI" taking over the world.

Today while teaching I officially entered the phase of life where my kids and my students use the same vocabulary. Not sure whether to be proud or alarmed.

What if I told you there's a single technological change that changed everything we believe about cats.
Just one.
What is it?

I can't fathom how all that tongue can reside in Pippin's mouth, and how he is able to keep it all in there.
(Photo was taken as Pippin was 'recovering' after yesterday's afternoon walk.)

Do you have anything to hide? 😡“

The first release of PGP was 32 years ago today! Wow! #HappyBirthday #pgp
Coś wylądowało na stopce. Kwiatek czy jajko sadzone?
Pod tą płachąa, którą sąsiadka przykryła ścięte pieńki czeremch , w ramach walki z tym chwastem, zrobiła sobie gniazdo jeżyca i odchowuje w nim małe. Będzie ostra jazda – w pobliżu mieszka pięć psów i dwa koty. Zobaczymy, czy którekolwiek z maleństw przeżyje. Szkoda że w Fediverse nie ma jeszcze Fundacji Primum – #Jeżurkowo
