I received this message from our youngest's primary #school today, and I think it's excellent.

16 February 1926 | A German Jewish girl, Margot Frank, Anne's older sister, was born in Frankfurt.

She and her family left Germany to the Netherlands. In 1942 the family went into hiding in Amsterdam. After being arrested in the fall of 1944, the sisters together with their parents - Otto & Edith - were deported to Auschwitz.

All of them were registered in the camp. Edith Frank perished in Auschwitz. Margot & Anne died in Bergen-Belsen in February 1945 because of typhus. Only Otto survived.

Woke up this morning to find I had left some homemade ice cream on the counter last night, and it was lemon so it had curdled. I then tried to make a frozen pizza so I would have something to take for lunch (I only prepped for 3 days of lunch this week on Sunday) and found out the hard way this brand should not be placed directly on the oven rack.

Part of me is strongly leaning towards just going to back to bed and pulling the covers over my head so nothing else goes messily wrong today.

The teenager who went to Tops grocery in Buffalo last year to shoot black Americans was sentenced today. The judge said to the shooter:

“There is no place for you or your ignorant, hateful, and evil ideologies in a civilized society. There can be no mercy for you, no understanding, no second chances. The damage you have caused is too great and the people you have hurt are too valuable to this community. You will never see the light of day as a free man ever again”

#latimes : Pronoun hysteria is pure MAGA politics, with a side of devastation for vulnerable trans kids

'It took me a while to get here, but maybe the way people actually use language is how language ought to be used. Also, maybe how people choose to be identified is how we should identify them. In the newsroom, we used to call this the Muhammad Ali rule: If Cassius Clay wishes to be called Muhammad Ali, then that is what we will call him."s what we will call him."

A group of "Scared Scientists" created a website. Here is what one of them has to say...
________________________

Biological Scientist
University of Macquarie, Sydney

STATEMENT:

The scientific community know sea levels will rise, people will be displaced, and food resources will diminish. But I work on the small things, the ocean's plankton, and we are already seeing climate shifts in these organisms. How those changes will affect the global ocean is something we really can't answer — and that scares me. For example, the fact that we're seeing tropical species all the way down the east coast of Australia means massive changes are occurring. However, we currently can't predict the exact impact of these shifts.

Another example is that climate change will create winners and losers — there'll be some species that get wiped out, and some that will become prolific. Will it be the toxic algal species that are going to survive?

There will come a time when we need to have answers, when these changes will greatly challenge humanity.

It's now TWO YEARS and 40 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged with crimes. Instead Trump is now running for President where he's actively spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. INDICT TRUMP!

Meet Angel Almeida - a 22-year-old Queens, NY resident, member of the neo-nazi Satanic cult Order of Nine Angles, and a child groomer/child sex predator/child pornographer.

Angel is #97 on our list of bigots, fascists, and far-right extremists who are also child sex predators, child pornography enthusiasts, and pedophilia advocates. Our list:

We didn’t need a study to tell us teenage girls (and LGBTQ+) are depressed. You all could have just looked at their social media accounts.

#today I confirmed that, all being well, I should start volunteering with the Woodland Trust at the beginning of March.

Also, I've been waiting a long time (since 2021 - they screwed up with the waiting list last year) for some surgery, and I rang to see what was happening today. Eventually, after being sent around different departments, I unexpectedly got an pre-operation appointment for this coming Friday. Progress, suddenly!

And then I went for a walk to a nearby medieval deer park (which is part of the woods where I'll be volunteering).

Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker discusses Mastodon with the Verge.

Looks like the approach will be three-fold:

1. Set up a Mozilla instance
2. Study and learn about the Fediverse
3. Build new initiatives based on ActivityPub

Before building new tech, Mozilla wants to be an active participant in the Fediverse and learn from it—not go pushing its weight around like a gorilla.
