"In 2017, Qatar's neighbors, led by Saudi Arabia, imposed a three-year diplomatic and economic blockade on the Gulf monarchy.

The Lady Catherine actually jumped up onto the bed to snuggle with Nibbler - he must be so happy. #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #Nibbler #TheLadyCatherine https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/111/807/550/879/296/101/original/a53855b56dc618ee.jpg npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama @npub139m…6cf9 I have a soft spot for these guys - when I went to London a couple years ago for business, I managed to spend some time on my last morning exploring, and this was the first bird the whole time that I had never seen before (I'm from the United States). It was so cute how it jumped around and, yes, wagged its tail. I was delighted to find out that was its name. Thank you for reminding me of a happy memory. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama Nibbler shakes things up by lying on my lap wrong, somehow. He's an innovator in clinging. #CatsOfMastodon #CatsOfInfoSec #Nibbler https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/111/786/950/591/576/200/original/956a3a1571d23787.jpg npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama I can feel a downturn tugging at my brain. Resistance is growing. I'm starting to put off minor things, and I've caught myself saying not-nice things about myself out loud. It scares me more than my physical issues. But honestly, they're probably linked. Sigh. Well, at least I got to remember what I'm really like when my brain doesn't tie my shoelaces together. And I can get back to the good space again. Maybe this time won't be as deep or as long as usual. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama A gentle reminder to the covid-cautious who are letting their frustrations with the world turn into spiteful victim-blaming: adults have been forced back to the office (on pain of destitution), children have been forced back to in-person school (on pain of criminal charges for their parents), and your own hermetic lifestyle has been subsidized by the in-person labor of the less fortunate. Sure, some percentage of people are simply dumbasses who don't believe in covid, but even that is a societal failing as much as an individual fault. By applying your own purity test for who deserves social support, you are turning into Reagan Republicans. We're all in this together. And if you need support later because the meat you keep eating clogs your arteries, or the cigarettes you smoke destroy your lungs, that's OK. We are all fragile human beings with weaknesses and faults. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama Oh, now this is FUN. I've posted about "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar," the cybersecurity detective, and Allen Liska and company announced that a new comics anthology is looking for submissions! #YoursTrulyJohnnyDollar #Cybersecurity #Comics #CallsForSubmissions Green Archer Comics Announces Call for Submissions for Cyber Security Comics Anthology “Newbie-ginnings” Anthology Will Celebrate the Vibrant Creativity of the Cyber Security Community https://www.greenarcher.io/post/green-archer-comics-announces-call-for-submissions-for-cyber-security-comics-anthology npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama @npub1zdp…vqv8 @npub1v2m…c25g I need someone to add these moths to the gif of Shaq shimmying, then a cat wiggling in a pounce position. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama @npub1typ…c8hh Spectacular. When I was a kid, we discovered that by using the dimmer switch, we could record Chipmunks-esque speeded-up tapes. I have a couple dimmer switches here. Hmmm. Also, this reminds me of the first time I ever heard Bauhaus. I was tripping balls with a couple friends in our temporarily sober friend's dorm room, and she started playing "Bela Lugosi's Dead" on a tape player whose batteries were dying. I had no idea if that was just what the music sounded like or if it was the acid. And that's what this is very much like. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama My Christmas presents to myself include a good set of headphones and blocking kolektiva.social. Every antisemitic, ignorant post in my feed was from there, and this morning finally tipped the balance. Enjoy your nazi bar, comrades. ❤️ npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama @npub1ff3…sc33 I don't know if they can track this stuff, but I just ordered one of the Breathe99s for my kid, as well as a box of the KN95s to see if he likes the fit, based on your recommendation. Feel free to tell them about it. I'll also look to see if your book tour is coming near me, because there's such a wait time for this book at my library, but I want to read it. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama @npub1ff3…sc33 That is a fantastic idea!

What works for me is having a food that I can always eat when I can't decide what to eat and everything sounds gross. For me, I have taught myself to eat a piece of bread, or at least a corner of one, when I realize I'm shaking and nauseated because I haven't eaten. That helps settle your system so it's back to a place where you can figure out what to eat. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama Look at this beautiful beaded bracelet I got from @npub1df5…a3y9 - it's so finely done that it feels like fabric.

I read someone speculating that they could be hardened centipede eggs (if they look like pearls) or owl pellets (if they look like furry tumors). But it's pure nonsense. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama @npub1ccn…czwu I am so sorry. May her memory continue to be a blessing. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama I have always heard people say that love fades and that you need to make sure you have other things in common with your mate or you'll end up drifting apart. It's certainly true that you should have things to do together and talk about with your mate, I'm not discounting that. But I've been with my husband for 22 years now, married for 18, and I still feel about him the same way I did the first time I told him I loved him. I honestly can't believe we've gotten so lucky. I thought love had a shelf life, but maybe it doesn't have to. npub16muv2qvzdz8nkxh6ns0mfrqw4annx3nqpe2t94x43l9jnmrjtfpsmgysy4 spiegelmama @npub1mxw…w8et @npub19dj…n6qc That goes to a general page.
