Last Notes npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Wow. I guess I'm just not returning enough power to the Matrix via my own wrist. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Dang! Cellular? (I need to be able to go places without my phone) And I take it you turned off lift to wake, which basically disables the ability to do anything one-handed? I did that in the last few months of my old watch's life, but even though I do have full use of both hands, I don't like having to reach for my watch all the time. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto I confess I didn't look into battery replacement when I replaced my watch last week. I take it, it makes monetary sense? Or can you get three or four years out of a watch battery, and in that case how??? I'll be replacing the battery in my iPhone 13 Mini soon, since nobody makes a phone smaller than a cybertruck these days. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Yes! Which is why both major parties oppose RCV with all their strength, more than they oppose each other. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto And we also need to repeal all the laws that make it much harder for someone to get onto the ballot without the sanction of one of two major parties. To form a new party in Ohio, they'd need to submit over 41,000 signatures supporting the new party. To run as an independent, a candidate has to submit at least 5 times or up to 60 times, depending on office, the number of signatures as a major party candidate does. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Nice shot! They're one of my favorite birds, so cute. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto My milkweed patch this morning. I haven't seen this level of activity maybe ever. https://assets.disabled.social/media_attachments/files/114/897/094/740/832/063/original/710116766a138b33.jpg npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Satisfying my unscientific curiosity here. Please boost for visibility. How old are you? npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Hey #Ohio and nearby #gardeners Have you planted beans yet? Did they germinate? I just don't think the soil is warm enough yet, it's supposed to be in the 40s for another two nights. I've replaced beans later than this after groundhogs ate my entire crop of sprouts ... but I'd like to have an opportunity to do that again JIC #gardening #VegetableGardening npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto https://xkcd.com/883/ https://assets.disabled.social/media_attachments/files/114/574/841/255/932/070/original/13feec5338b17d38.png npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto (also, wtf IS that "general strike" trying to get 11 million people to sign up on their website 🤦🏻 Are they clueless, or are they trying to trap the clueless?) npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Here we go. Acknowledging our past, looking toward the future. https://assets.disabled.social/media_attachments/files/114/053/772/804/260/484/original/814143b0b3c4f183.png npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto I wonder if even this is something we'll be going back on. It's in living memory that people *were* forced to use their right hands for everything, usually by corporal punishment as well as ostracization. With the range of "acceptable" bodies reverting to white, male and abled, I wouldn't be surprised to find right-handedness on the list sooner than later. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto From the American Immigration Lawyers Association: "You may refuse to show identity documents that say what country you are from. • Do not show any false documents and do not lie" The link is to an English language .pdf. They also have editable Word documents in English and Spanish. I'm getting the ACLU's similar flyer translated into Nepali for our immigrant community here, and I'm happy to share if anyone wants a Nepali version. https://www.acluwv.org/en/know-your-rights-immigrants-encountering-police-or-ice https://www.aila.org/aila-files/20036845-F2B6-4749-9E38-E47CBA77C3EE/Know-Your-Rights-2025-Update-2.pdf npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto For grins I just uploaded a mushroom photo I'd taken a while back and got this result. Seems like a community effort to me? As I said, I'm aware Seek is AI driven, and often wrong. https://assets.disabled.social/media_attachments/files/113/771/363/517/095/976/original/17fbc825bc0f9690.jpeg npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto I don't doubt iNaturalist uses AI for its initial identifications (Seek), though I don't know for sure, but beyond that it's definitely humans? npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Help pick my motto for the new year. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Good! Plus the knowledge of how to dilute bleach, and not use more than needed (which is also often more than is safe). https://www.cdc.gov/hygiene/about/cleaning-and-disinfecting-with-bleach.html npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Water storage and purification ... and a camp toilet and kitty litter that lets you dispose of everything as solid waste. When the grid goes down, so do the sewage pump stations, and you won't want to waste water on flushing anyway. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto That's nice, truly - but just ONCE I'd like to see *non*disabled people have to wear a special lanyard or pin or ribbon to remind people to treat them decently. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto Appalachia too, though from my understanding there are regional variations as to whether y'all is singular or plural, and if singular, what the plural is. News flash, the NYT is classist and engages in geographical class stereotyping ... npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto NYPL §125.25: "A person is guilty of murder in the second degree when: ... "2. Under circumstances evincing a depraved indifference to human life, he recklessly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to another person, and thereby causes the death of another person." https://newyork.public.law/laws/n.y._penal_law_section_125.25 npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto That's a circular definition. The circumstances under which murder can be prosecuted as a federal crime are pretty limited, and don't include this. Under New York state law, a CEO of a health insurance company has committed second degree murder - probably tens of thousands of counts. Citation in reply: npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto I'm seriously considering going off chemo. Besides having to fight with the pharmacy every single month, I'm not recovered from one oncologist appointment by the time the next one is scheduled. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto What's your advice to folx who've been putting all our time and energy (and money) into Democratic campaigns? Is electoralism dead? Or is there a point to keeping on with 2025 because the municipalities and townships will either be the brownshirts' first line of offense, or important allies in resistance? npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto As pointed out below, a majority of Ohioans are "something else," just because of the way our system works. Technically we have Schrödinger's party affiliation: a voter is a member of EVERY political party until they choose one by voting in a primary (and the affiliation only lasts two years). Because most people don't vote in primaries, most Ohio voters are Unaffiliated, even though most of those have strong partisan leanings. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto I think Kim Stanley Robinson had it right in "The Ministry for the Future." If I'm remembering right, his number is bigger than anything in your poll. It's hands down the most *hopeful* climate fiction I've read - because it posits that there is such a number, at all. npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto She's getting used to being out in the rain, but sometimes she just needs to shake it off. #Dogs #DogsOfMastodon #RainyDay https://assets.disabled.social/media_attachments/files/113/210/470/216/051/838/original/10bd96ad7d08b0b9.jpeg https://assets.disabled.social/media_attachments/files/113/210/470/837/768/843/original/f538a5a4cbe43ad3.jpeg npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto I know nothing tbh, but according to Wikipedia, the hypothesis that ontology recapitulates phylogeny had been relegated to "biological mythology" more than 50 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recapitulation_theory npub17l9f3lca388nqua7s480026yxfghqyfqx0jwva5dexfcpu6a9amqrhmkg3 Callisto From a pastor in central Ohio: "Here is the deal: If you've shared a meme about eating pets, you can now go ahead and donate to The Haitian Community Help & Support Center in Springfield, Ohio. Apologies begin at $5. Laughter is not the same thing as solidarity. This community is under real threat. Do better my friends.

I thought to myself, that's not the kind of viruses I used to worry about catching in a public bathroom ...
