Last Notes npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1lzz…jhl3 Why am I suddenly reminded of the photo from the 2016 election where Trump & Melania are standing at adjacent booths & Trump is leaning over looking into Melania's.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1yq2…03wz I'm glad I had CC running, or I wouldn't have caught the easter egg in the character's name. (Which makes me wonder what other easter eggs I've missed.) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 "There are no adults. It's just...us." —Lois McMaster Bujold npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 But not ratcheting backwards at least? Small mercies.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 Only if it was swift & comprehensive. I don't feel like I could depend on the Daleks to Just Get It Over With. I think they'd spend too much time on threats. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 Well I mean I suppose you could theoretically use it for AR, too. As long as you didn't, like, need to navigate through the room.... Yeah, I was kind of gobsmacked by the whole concept. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 Have you tried the ultra-cheap/free version? My work's "health" vendor was offering a "VR app": Came with a box you strap to your face that you rubberband your phone to to make "VR" "Goggles" 🤦 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1hyk…3p33 Link goes to "Oops!

I know these words have meaning, but... 😂 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1asa…n9sr Possibly dumb question: bc it needs baking? & GG crusts don't get baked...? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd I like lemon meringue pie, but I wish I could find a commercial frozen brand with a graham cracker crust. Or, more precisely, I wish such a thing was available where I shop.... #Food #Pie npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 You need to give them a stern talking-to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86x-u-tz0MA&t=734s npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 But also a gratuitous nixi tube readout? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1hyk…3p33 "When deregulation and markets fail, the answer is always more deregulation and more markets." From the Department of "If It Doesn't Work, Do It Harder." npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd So I guess frozen orange juice concentrate isn't a thing anymore? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1f2y…m58m Yeah, I was...unimpressed. The first half moved along reasonably well, but it seemed like the second half, they were scaling down to the more personal stories and just...didn't do that as well...? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 It says something when informed people not even living in the relevant country are celebrating.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 "fettling"? 🤔 This is an interesting usage. (& also, TIL a new word!) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1khx…geyg Oh geez. I think I'd have to study a la carte. I could never settle down to just one subject. & the more you know about different stuff, the more different stuff becomes interesting. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd via @npub1hyk…3p33, this right here is why, when an experienced coworker suggested I use AI to learn how to code, my reaction was basically, "HAHAHAHA LOL no." https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1773779967521780169 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 > "Queen Carmilla" Am I detecting a dreadful joke this Yank is unequipped to get? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1zt3…0v09 Good heavens. I do that *without* chemical help. That sounds decidedly hazardous! npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1ljz…4ags 4/4: https://wandering.shop/deck/@[email protected] /112439805447255389 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1qlu…5xtc #science #TerryPratchett #Alt4you https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/112/369/802/702/847/215/original/ddd35a988cb2c933.png npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Seriously, is there anything better than the umami salty brown crunchies off the edge of the frying pan 😋 #Food #Cooking npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub17z6…4mp8 The implicit corollary is, of course, that "Kids are too dumb to be cis," also. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Whoa—! I just accidentally combined raw sweet onion with coffee ice cream and—that was actually *really* interesting. And not in a bad way at all 👀 🤯 #Food #Flavor npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Okay, this is incredibly cool. Went in to get my blood draw for my work-sponsored labwork this year, and this is the contractor my employer is using: I'm particularly delighted by their logo. https://tribaldiagnostics.com/ #Indigenous #HealthCare npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1k4q…3lsq Heh. I have to wonder what she would make of somebody like me who decided fifty years ago that I was never going to own a car, because of environmental reasons. (And, well: ::waves hands generally::) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Time to re-up this from Awkward Yeti: (Nick Seluk) https://linktr.ee/theawkwardyeti #trauma #MentalHealth https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/112/225/512/346/654/681/original/a062ea5885c659c5.png npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1asa…n9sr This was the practice's Zoom equivalent, and there was a whole bunch of build-up, "Sign in fifteen minutes early! Do your tech check!" 🤦 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Now on my first telemedicine appointment w/ my doc. Any bets on whether they're any more punctual online than they are in person? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1asa…n9sr Huh, how interesting. My skin otherwise generally runs to the dry side. It's just That One Ear that has a tendency to clog up. Smaller ear canal, or something? 🤷 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1asa…n9sr wut Statins? Huh. I wonder what the mechanism is. (Well, I guess they affect fat metabolism, so maybe not as left-field as it seems at first blush?) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd TFW you're sinuses are clogged except it's just your ear plugged by wax. #WhyAreBodies? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd So, the #sewing gods smiled: not only was there (almost) enough thread in the bobbin (but another full one in the drawer), but my #ADHD stochastic teleportation relaxed and my good sewing scissors even turned up: right where they were supposed to be (and absolutely Were Not the last two times I looked). npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Opinion: Is hummus warmfood or coldfood? #Food npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1qzc…yetl It'd be really neat if we could come up with everyday some nuts-and-bolts Things To Do to forward this ambition. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1asa…n9sr Mine does to. But that's mostly to protect *them*. (& I *think* H₂O₂ is more about prefenting infection from injury, but I could be wrong.) Anyway, they don't have doors on their cleaning rooms, & the HEPA filters are in the hallways, and unmasked support staff wanders in & out, so I'm hoping this'll be an effective extra level of mitigation. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd So somebody explain to me why an MBA doesn't contain a year of: "Okay, we now have a mature product that works well and people using it and depending on it. How do we not screw that up?" npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd So, I've got a dental cleaning today. I hope the dentist still has "Wear N95s around this patient" on my chart. If not, somebody's getting a Talking To. Meanwhile, I'm going to give this a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUJGYM894Bw #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp #Covid npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1ntq…rg38 @npub1748…kuje And also: those scams typically filter for folks who aren't paying *quite* enough attention.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Okay, that's...next level. I contrived to sit with my legs crossed in such a way, that I cut off ALL feeling in my left leg below the knee. Like, I can feel a bit of pressure on the arch of my foot, but when I put my foot down on the floor—bupkus. Oh, this is not going to be a happy experience while it comes back 😖 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub19h0…2gqw Okay, what slays me is that there's a perfectly functional skateboard, scaled just to that turtle's size, available on the market (although I suppose it could be homemade) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1se6…cmph It's so frustrating. Like, "Really? You can't take the bread out of the plastic bag before tossing it in the bin?" & people seriously can't be arsed to walk the extra eight feet to get the recycling into the Actual Recycling Bin? I guess we're supposed to be grateful they don't just dump it on the ground alongside the contents of the night's chambe pot?? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub10n9…tjug After I moved into this place 30 years ago, I resolved that when I move out, it'll be in a body bag. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub156n…mvgw "Win your effing brains out, dude.

This was something I didn't clue into until I'd been On Here for nearly year, & it was a complete game-changer once I discovered it. (Also, def one of those "Why tf doesn't EVERYBODY do it this way??" features.) npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd Pro-tip: maybe *don't* eat a load of choc choc chip and coffee ice cream if you're about to embark on an #anxiety-inducing task.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1r4h…u0jf @npub1tmp…jy3t "Rabbit hole" is an entirely inadequate metaphor to truly convey the hazards of that class of problem. FWIW, my solution would be to assume Mercator, adjust the frame until it "looks right," and move on. But this is not the focus of my particular nerdery, so I definitely see where the problem would lie. #ADHD FTW npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1xus…550h Splashy splashy!

"You haven't tested negative until you've tested neg twice consecutively 48 hours apart." "Oh, the CDC says kids' cases are milder? THIS CDC? The same one that says one day of isolation as adequate?" "Tired but 'productive enough' ISN'T RESTING. NOT RESTING is a set-up for LC." FFS. Really hard not to be angry, bc It Doesn't Help. But 🤬🤬🤬🤬 #Covid #CovidIsNotOver npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1zdp…vqv8 I don't know most of the jargon, & this is hilarious 😂 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 That somehow seems very on-brand for them 😏 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1gmx…atcq #CDCsays if it doesn't kill you, you're not trying hard enough npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 The pink crepe neck ridge just really makes it. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1gv8…uu0q BWAHAHAHAA you're so cute.

Does she—not hear herself?? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1dq0…glnl I've been valiantly resisting the urge to create a video of me sitting in my normal position, looking into the camera. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1d62…tshf I did get an actual live human response when I reported it. They asked for more detail, it wouldn't reproduce in the moment, and then it got lost under the tsunami of the week. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1d62…tshf Thanks for the reply. Nice theory, but: This is often coming from a screencap (which *should* be a simple png) opened IN Preview, copied & pasting TO Preview. (Maybe even usually.) Like, "Oh, I see you copied something that looks like it's an image of a Pixelmator window! Okay, I'll helpfully tell you it came from Pxm!" If I select a copy area that breaks an window frame of a window, THEN it'll copy over. But WHY?? Like, HOW does that make any sense? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1d62…tshf This is one reason I have a deep love for Mastodon's edit function. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 I'm trying to work with a vendor to get documents containing our information edited and uploaded to our website. This is proving to be, what you might call, an "iterative" process. I really can't help but wonder how much of this has to do with covid. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1d62…tshf You laugh, but as I was taught in my NLP training, "the brain does not get negation." So if you're trying to change a habit, you're FAR more likely to succeed with a "I want to do [thing]" than "I don't want to do [thing]." Don't think of a blue horse, and all that. My favorite wording fail is to leave out the crucial noun that makes the rest of the sentence many any sense at all. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd God dammit. A friend is in the hospital (with a cancer that I strongly suspect is a consequence of covid). I'm probably not going to get a lot of time with him left. He mentioned he wants to find an aid to walk with him around the third floor. But, "Yesterday the staff was overloaded." I would volunteer to go walk with him. But he's in the hospital. Where patients aren't masking. And the staff is masking with surgicals. 😭🤬😭 > #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsNotFuckingOver npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1d62…tshf In fairness, leaving off a crucial word is a really common typing fail. (Especially in the last few years, for some reason—it's one I'm really prone to.) Worse, typos in headlines can be really fucking hard to spot. My favorite example: Science research center opens the first box of completed annual report: four color glossy publication. Pull out the first copy—only to (finally) spot the glaring typo. On the cover. In the title. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub16nf…q6as Wouldn't the sun be *setting* over the Pacific Ocean as viewed from the California coast...? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub16nf…q6as Wait— npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1gcs…uxx5 @npub1xr8…3q0g I'm reminded of that time I think it was Senator Allard came to the research center I worked at at the time to talk to us about "global warming" and argue that it was all hokum. "Why, we exhale carbon dioxide all the time! How can it be a pollutant??" One of my deepest regrets is that it didn't occur to me at the time to say, "Okay, if you think CO2 is so harmless, let's tie a plastic bag over your head and see how long you feel that way." npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub14ka…um78 Linen?

Can you explain to me why it steadfastly refuses to copy some images? All I get is some text indicating which app the image would have come out of? It's infuriating. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1gmx…atcq I wish my weather forecast would settle down. First it's gonna snow. Then it's not.

Guys, just roll a D20 already, geez! npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 Oh yeah, THAT'S a good idea 🤦 😬 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub12ld…d8ag @npub1lvw…fuem I imagine getting steamy & sweaty becomes an issue, as well. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1lvw…fuem I looked into getting one of those a couple of years ago. They're expensive, & they kill hearing & peripheral vision. The AIR2 is a less-bad solution (no hose & filter/fan box) but doesn't solve the vision/audio/expense problems. https://microclimate.com/products/air2-x-microclimate npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub14ux…jx88 Something for which I will be forever grateful was the segment in 7th Grade Social Studies class on Advertising. Laid out the various techniques, such as "bandwagon," "endorsements," & so on, & how they worked on the audience's mind. I don't remember if it was ever said explicitly in as many words, but the Tl;dr I came away with was, "to whom is it useful that I believe this?" Has provided grounds for a very helpful skepticism, ever since. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1hgr…2e7r I was going to make a donation, but unfortunately, doing so requires a 2FA code sent to what appears to be my landline 😢 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 I enjoyed this video that came across my TL yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK0md9tQ1KY npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1xyj…6rzz @npub18q7…00xv Where yours has "inny" ridges, his has "outies."

And by "fascinating," I mean, "Yeah, I decided in 1970 that I was never going to own a car, and it looks like that was possibly a more sensible life-style choice than I'd realized at the time." Modulo an actually *stronger* presumption of car ownership in the local culture, despite my town's commitment to "walkability." City policy doesn't, sadly, dictate the location decisions of local employers. :-\ npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 Also electrified cargo and commute bikes. & also: it's not like current battery tech isn't it's own special environmental/social nightmare.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 One of those "on balance, actually good news, but BOY is it going to be a bitch getting there" problems.... npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1typ…c8hh Just think what we could do if we could replace all that polyfoam packaging w/fungus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACoA6vUD-h8 npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1psd…9sr7 @npub1l56…3q52 @npub19q3…ezrr If you haven't seen this conversation, I suspect you'd enjoy it.

I'm in the middle of reading #kimstanleyrobinson #MinistryForTheFuture, and it's very interesting, but I am (unsurprisingly) noticing a yawning void where #Indigenous thought about planning for the future would be. So my question is: Is there a work (or works) of fiction (or nonfiction, even) that approaches the question MftF tackles, but from an Indigenous framework? #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #Future #ScienceFiction #SciFi npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1gmx…atcq Yeah, but the nurse didn't ask; she just DID it. +1 bc I didn't expect to get *any* follow-through. ::strut:: npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1gmx…atcq Had my yearly physical today. Rocked my N95. Waiting room was empty, & they got me in quickly so I didn't feel the need to go wait outside. One staff member behind the front desk was actually masked! (surgical :-\) A couple of minutes into my session with the NP, she asked, "Would you like me to mask?" "Yes, please." (Or, I thought to myself, you could just put one on w/o asking.) (Surgical again, but I'll take what I can get.) Nurse came back with my flu vax—masked. 2 points! npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1agu…j0sk How do they hold up? I read some of them back when they were comparatively new. The field has, shall we say, moved on, since. Maybe time to do a reread. I have a lot of those on my shelves. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1agu…j0sk Can't quote sources, but I thought #StarTrek's use of the term was explicitly a call-back to Asimov? npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub156n…mvgw @npub1hgr…2e7r I mask everywhere indoors except my home. (I even mask while passing through the short common hallway to go outside.) I don't mask outdoors with one or two friends. Around more people outdoors, I generally mask. I avoid being around other people indoors where ever possible. npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1nxt…055a The other thing that blows me away is the production quality (styrofoam boulders notwithstanding). I had only ever seen them in black and white up until /very/ recently. There are still a very few eps I haven't seen in color (which I hoard to my soul like a fine vintage whiskey). The lighting alone in these things could be its own master class. #StarTrek npub1l8vjsfnmfwvprc8s4h3ruk4s622zekvkfvr9hqrjqja57exrurqqvt7gz3 Cavyherd @npub1nxt…055a Same same. Just finished "Charlie X," and I'll never forget the first time I watched it as an adult. As a kid, I was all Team Adults, but with some history and human experience under my belt, it's just heartbreaking now, watching Charlie struggle to connect and Kirk just absolutely tripping over his feet. > #StarTrek
