content warning etiquette
Here is the proper way to boost something that needs a content warning and doesn't have one:
1. open the post
2. copy its url
3. paste the url into a new post
4. add a brief description of the content at the link
5. send

Once more for the people in the back:
Put content warnings on your politics posts. I come to Mastodon specifically to avoid the horrible things in the news.
I don't care how urgently you want me to see it. In fact, adding a content warning will make me *more* likely to care, because it will give me time to brace myself.

a philosophy of life
Learn what you can change; work to change it for the better.
Learn not to let what you can’t change destroy you; work to influence it in small ways that build up over time until you can change it.
Learn patience with the world.
Learn who you love; work to show them you love them.
Learn who loves you; work to show them you appreciate their love.
Learn patience with yourself.
Work to clear a space for yourself where you can spend some time not working.

@DialMforMara @Teryl_Pacieco Moving this thread over here as part of a "rebrand" that will require me to redirect my Shop account to a new one
Maybe that'll push me to actually use this account for knitting stuff
@Teryl_Pacieco The one element of the story I haven't been able to work in is the "soft glow for the moon"
The star beads glow, and the whole shawl is a crescent, but I don't have a glowing moon
Maybe what I do is just a whole row of beaded stitches at the end of the night section

Today's gender is impatience and the smell of lavender.

Me, an hour ago: I am going to walk to the pharmacy once I'm done this thing
*sun sets before I finish*
Me, at 5 pm: who on Earth would go outside at this time of night?

So I've got one mouse with a perfect body and scroll wheel, but the laser isn't reading correctly and one mouse with a body and wheel with plastic and rubber rubbing off, I wonder if I could combined the two or that would just give me two broken mice?

Extra foxes protect against arthritis! https://science.sciencemag.org/content/370/6523/1429.1?rss=1
(It seems the protein FoxO1 prevents arthritis in lab mice, and the amount of it you have goes down as you age)

the goat has not yet been burned, this is the longest period where neither goat has been burned, and this is also being a terrible set of years.
obviously the solution is to burn the goat

Someone on twitter is working on a project about medical gatekeeping of trans people, so if you are on twitter and have experience with that you might want to reach out: https://twitter.com/transscribe/status/1341452266386169857

@makegodgayagain To which I’d add... don’t be afraid to ask people for CWs but do try to be polite and considerate about it, especially if you’re coming from a place of privilege. But if someone’s being an ass about it don’t be afraid to report them. Moderators are human beings and there’s more room for nuanced response than you’d get on a commercial platform.

Looks like Amazon is retiring the Goodreads API, which just another step towards basically abandoning Goodreads and folding it into some other Amazon service I guess: https://joealcorn.co.uk/blog/2020/goodreads-retiring-API
My advice? Get off Goodreads while you still can (ie export your content) and move over to StoryGraph: https://beta.thestorygraph.com
A black-owned startup finally developing a viable alternative to Goodreads. Fuck yeah!
(Why not LibraryThings? Because, guess what.. it’s also owned by Amazon!)
why does this box in this Japanese cartoon have Hebrew writing on it

hey, if you're in the Seattle area, and there's snow coming down right now? and you have anywhere to go tomorrow morning? please be SUPER SUPER CAREFUL. up here at the northern edge of Shoreline we're getting some slushy accumulation *on the roads* with water underneath. if this goes on for a couple hours (like it's supposed to) and then it clears up and *freezes* around midnight (like it's supposed to) it's going to be REALLY REALLY SLICK AND DANGEROUS early tomorrow morning. regardless of how you travel, if you have to travel tomorrow morning, *please* be careful!
