Hi, I'm a professional storyteller, and here's today's PSA:

Unless the storyteller complains, your kids didn't do anything wrong. We are fine with wriggling, giggling, lying down, and whispering. If you tell them off after the performance, you kill the magic right there.

Kids wiggle. They ask questions, and comment on the stories. It's part of storytelling. Don't discipline them unless I ask for help.

For my book on neurodiversity-affirming therapy for autistic people, I want to include some information for providers about the medical issues autistic people are more likely to have. NONE of my training talked about this, and it could help people to know what they might want to ask their doctor to test for.

Anyway please @actuallyautistic let me know what to include on that list?

capitalists will be the death of the fediverse and i DON'T mean the big players like Facebook, i mean the shitty little FOSSbro capitalists who can't conceive of anything that doesn't need to be monetised.

Multichain has issued a statement that "we are currently unable to contact CEO Zhaojun and obtain the necessary server access for maintenance"

touch moss. it's far superior to grass and much more eco-friendly.

"TESCREAList" is the new "cryptobro"

Also @tops asked me why these AGC trains are so bumpy

It’s because for some reason they removed the suspension dampeners from all of them

This shows where that would be mounted

My pics from the AGC I’m on right now

What tools would you use if you were wanting a dashboard that would show the status of a few servers in the cloud and maybe a few servers around your house?

I have three servers that need general logging in my cloud network, and one in my home network. And maybe I want to send some of my own personal laptop stats to it when the laptop is turned on.

I'm sorry if you're of the generation that's never used a dot-matrix printer. I still remember mine from the 80s and 90s, and they were dope AF:

- Made cool sounds when printing

- Paper as a perforated form-feed, and tearing the perforations after printing was *so* satisfying

- You could re-ink your own ribbons with whatever ink you had at hand

- Manufacturer wasn't trying to screw you at every possible term

- Software focused on birthdays cards and banners, not "business" or "out of cyan"

@joepie91 The security of the implied alternative, namely "copy and paste from random gists and stackoverflow answers," never seems to be discussed in such PR. Funny, that.

i just think it would be cool if we had academic conferences on the fedi, where we finally dispense with the notion that there is anything intrinsically meaningful about journal publication and see how uh it actually might be a very healthy thing to have our work in a continually moderated social space where we can directly talk about the work on the work itself rather than isolated in journal clubs, disconnected threads, and closed, one-time, gladiatorial peer-review with binary outcome.

have an idea? cool, drag and drop your notebook into the text editor, give it some metadata, get a PID, tag your colleagues, peer review is an ongoing conversation, and so on.

someone wants to ask a neuroscientist a question? cool, come on over to our instance, we have a forum mode where you can browse through prior discussions by topic, start your own, and idk we as academics actually start making all this information we use public money to gather available to people in a medium where they actually are.
