As president, I will pass a law limiting ammo cartridges to no more than five bullets, and also they will need to be labeled with a dark cyan "ä" symbol. But I'd like to talk about my main economic proposal, getting the US back on the gem standard...

Hi Fedi friends! I’m having a bit of a philosophical difference of opinion with my current employer (both technical and ethical) I am seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. If you hear of any opportunities or just want to catch up, please send me a message or comment in thread. I’d love to connect.

About me & what I’m looking for:

💼 I’m looking for System Administrator, Information Technology, or Solutions Engineer roles. I would be open to pivoting to Information Security roles.

🌎 I’m open to roles in Iowa, Wisconsin, remote or hybrid.

⭐ I’ve previously worked at The University of Iowa Health Care, Grinnell College. I have extensive experience with Apple platform administration and integration of Apple devices and services in heterogeneous environments.

Suggestive drawing 

"Would you dive into the floof and forget the world?"
It was supposed to be just a sketch, an exploration of the idea of Gwen in full furry form. I got hooked and did this. Plain colors and some lighting but despite the lack of shadows, she has weight and presence.
Lovely.

I went to pottery class today and opened by asking several of my classmates if they knew how to use the slab roller upstairs. Nobody did but everyone wanted to, so when the teacher got in I’m like “hey teach, do you know how to use the slab roller upstairs” and she’s like “no” (she’s a visiting artist who only got here a couple months ago so this is not very surprising) “but I’ve used a lot of different ones and I bet we can figure it out.” Me: “do you want to go on a Journey of Discovery?” Everyone: yes. YES. *cue sickos faces* so we all thunder up the stairs periodically shouting JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY and our teacher snags another person who uses the slab roller A Lot and this person gives us a very thorough lesson and demonstration and every so often someone else wanders through and asks what’s happening and we all go JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY at them and now everyone knows how to use the slab roller and honestly I cannot recommend this approach enough as a way to make learning new skills and life generally more exciting.

An offer to anyone in the #Toronto area:

The Revue Cinema on Roncesvalles hosts a monthly program, Dumpster Raccoon, featuring a (totally not-at-all trash) movie with a cool host and an awesome crowd.

The next showing is The People's Joker this Saturday night... which I can no longer attend. :BlobCat_SadSob:

So... who wants a pair of tickets? (With a nod to @gnomon who gave them to me in the first place—dang it, and thanks again!)

So, all you folk who were unlucky enough to end up with #LongCovid in the early years of the pandemic, I'm interested to know how you're doing these days.

So this question is for anyone who got properly long covid (symptoms lasting at least a year) starting any time up to 2023.

How are your symptoms now compared with the first year of having them?

(Boosts for reach appreciated).

If we call all Norse people from the Viking Age "Vikings", it's only fair to also call all British people from the Age of Sail "Pirates".

"William Shakespeare was inarguably the most famous Pirate playwright."

"Most Pirates at the time were at least nominally loyal to Pirate Queen Elizabeth."

"Under James, the noted witch-hunting enthusiast, the Pirate homeland had finally been united under a single king."

"Most Pirates practiced a religion called 'Anglicism' that differed from that of pre-piratical Britain. But in the far north some adhered to the cult of 'Presbyterianism' and yet others clung to the ancient Catholicism of their heathen forebearers."

"The Pirates once again captured Napoleon Bonaparte, and left him stranded on the remote island of Saint Helena."

"I am descended from Scottish Pirates. Which sounds a lot cooler than saying my ancestors were probably farmers from Fife and sheep thieves from the borders."

My uncle died about a year ago now, and one thing my aunt is gearing up to get rid of is his music collection. He had *hundreds* of CDs of classical music, many of them near-duplicates, because he may have already had a piece but wanted a particular conductor's version, or a performance by a particular orchestra.

Is there anyone here who might be interested in such a collection as a whole, or knows of someone who might? I feel it'd be good to find a home for it as a whole rather than selling every disc off separately.

The Super Nintendo turned 35 years old today! Which means, if your game is running on SlowROM, it just finished one clock cycle.
