@TSindelar I can confirm that @HollyGoDarkly isn’t the only person who bought the Escape from Barovia shirt because I did too (though it is currently lost in the depths of my laundry pile 😕).

@marcoarment @agiletortoise Fusion is a good step up from TinkerCAD, and even stays free if you do the personal use license, and I’ve rarely run into to something I need to do that I can’t within the limits on it.

Parents CAN buck medical advice and withhold lifesaving vaccines from their kids.

But parents CANNOT heed the advice of doctors and ensure their children receive lifesaving gender-affirming care.

Parental rights only exist when they are aligned to the MAGA platform.

It’s the same for other rights.

States’ rights.
Gun rights.
Women’s rights.
Voting rights.
Copyrights.
Etc.

The internet was not a mistake
Social media was not a mistake

Allowing Corporations to dictate and control both of these things was the mistake.

happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day to all those who celebrate!

San Miguel Sheriff @SheriffAlert

Large boulder the size of a small boulder is completely blocking east-bound lane Highway 145 mm78 at Silverpick Rd. Please use caution and watch for emergency vehicles in the area.

For the love of the gods. Don’t just send me a “Hi Andrea” on work chat and then not tell me what you need until I respond. I realize it’s maybe polite but I need to triage requests coming in and that requires info.

Deaths are higher in emergency rooms of hospitals owned by private equity firms, per Harvard University.

They did the math: It’s cheaper to let you die than save you with a procedure you can’t afford.

This is what happens when its profits over people.

You know you don’t get out of the house much when you find out your cell phone provider had a multi-hour nationwide outage the day before from your weather app… @CARROT

Screenshot from the CARROT Weather app showing 11° (feels like -5°) and partly cloudy (and moony) in Haslett. The commentary from CARROT reads: “Nobody wants to talk to Verizon customers anyways.”

Redoing the ex-playroom in our basement as a media/gaming den and these are the DIY light fixtures we’re doing. 3D printed (makerworld.com/en/models/21699) and painted with Rustoleum Hammered Bronze.

Photograph of an unlit, wall-mounted light fixture in the style of a medieval torch mounted on purple drywall. The fixture has the look of hammered bronze and has an orange cylindrical diffuser within the cage of the torch. Joists are visible above the wall and an electrical box for another light is visible in the background.

This year, for my mental health, I'm going to practice just letting people be wrong on the internet.
