Take it easy! npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer I’m not a huge fan of Scott Galloway, but this is a really good idea. The president doesn’t care about citizens getting mad about his policies. He only cares about the stock market. So… here is an idea I think might actually work to create a lot of pain with the tech companies currently complicit in supporting the administration and force them to start pressuring republicans to do their damn jobs. In February, unsubscribe to as many of these services as you can. Email the company and tell them why. I am really looking forward to a new show on Apple but I’m going to cancel my Apple TV subscription because Tim Cook went to the screening of that stupid new movie just to kiss Trump’s ass. Pass it on. Edit: Scott is well known in economist circles and says he's already heard from some tech CEOs who are mad about this so it's an even better idea. #EconomicBlackout #Unsubscribe #Resist #Fascism #Apple #Google #Audible #Kindle #Microsoft #Paramount #ICEOut #AbolishICE #Boycott https://www.resistandunsubscribe.com/ npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer @nprofile…eqsh @nprofile…p0fq it's really bad.

I wanted to get all the winter storm prep done to see if I missed anything. We changed the kerosene heater wicks which was a giant pain in the ass. But they work great now! Upgraded the outdoor feral cat's shelter in case the power goes out and the heating pads don't work. Now the cat won't get in it. 🤪 Moved a bunch of firewood to the back porch. Went grocery shopping to beat the panic shoppers tomorrow and Friday. Put out the heated bird bath. I think we're ready here. The forecast keeps changing from ice to rain to snow to ice so we currently have no idea what's going to happen. But where it hits it's going to be bad. #WinterStorm npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer Ok #CatsOfMastodon need some advice. There's a feral cat we take care of, he's been here through two bad winters. He has an insulated box on our porch that's out of the rain and it has two heating pads in it right now. I'm worried about if we lose power this weekend with the storm because it's going to be very cold, 3F Monday night. Any suggestions for improving the setup? It's on a shelf so I'm going to add some insulation to the bottom. We can't trap him, we tried that once and it was a disaster. npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer Ugggg 😬 #Weather Forecasters warn of a ‘potentially catastrophic’ storm from Texas to the Carolinas https://apnews.com/article/winter-weather-snow-ice-weekend-storm-ba67d30f05cbe14e9568907f09d2f13f npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer The fuzzballs aren't concerned about the bad weather this weekend. #DogsOfMastodon #CatsOfMastodon https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/115/930/275/094/805/288/original/5b90879366f97afe.jpg npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer Gift article. #MLK #Minneapolis Minnesota Had Its Birmingham Moment In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. outlined a strategy to expose official brutality.

I have so far completely avoided using LLMs and don't feel like I'm missing anything. Gift article. The People Outsourcing Their Thinking to AI Rise of the LLeMmings Many people are becoming reliant on AI to navigate some of the most basic aspects of daily life. A colleague suggested that we might even call the most extreme users “LLeMmings”—yes, because they are always LLM-ing, but also because their near-constant AI use conjures images of cybernetic lemmings unable to act without guidance. For this set of compulsive users, AI has become a primary interface through which they interact with the world. The emails they write, the life decisions they make, and the questions that consume their mind all filter through AI first. “It’s like a real addiction,” Metz told me. #AI #ChatGPT https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2025/12/people-outsourcing-their-thinking-ai/685093/?gift=K-QffBYDnAG9PhmtyIFDp5ZzjWs3fDCuxkrjo80QNTU&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer I haven't had an Advent calendar since I was a kid.

They had to expand their vision to men who didn't own land to recruit soldiers. But given the time period, their vision of self government with no king was pretty radical. I remember the first time I went to Monticello and saw the room where Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Then we went outside and saw the slave quarters. It didn't make sense to me that someone who wrote so eloquently about freedom could own other people. But that's it, they saw freedom for other white men and not anyone else. I've been a history nerd most of my life and have thought about all this a lot. I wish we'd done a better job including everyone but I think our beginnings with slavery and such awful inequality sort of doomed us. npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer The most interesting part of the first episode of the new Ken Burns documentary was that what sort of set everything off was British troops getting stationed in Boston, then they proceeded to harass residents. People knew putting military troops in a city during peacetime could only be to harass and intimidate people into doing what the king wanted. That didn't work out so well. A lot of that episode really reminds me of what is happening now, except the things the colonists were mad about seem kind of cute compared to the crap we are dealing with in our modern government, especially the slow dismantling of the Constitution. npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer @nprofile…w8d3 @nprofile…998y I call our health insurance system a legal mafia.

We packaged 900 kits in two hours because there were so many volunteers, including a big group from a local college. 💙 It sucks that so many people are food insecure but it made me hopeful that so many people care.

I have met three people here in my real life community. There are no Mastodon accounts I'm aware of that provide actionable information for my area. I have met hundreds of people on Bluesky in my general physical location and found out about a lot of events, training classes, in person networking events, protests, etc. For some of us it's not about followers, it's about finding other people to make connections with in the real world. Well good discussion, but I'm off to a community organizing event I heard about on Bluesky... npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer @nprofile…jddf @nprofile…mtgp @nprofile…uz4x look, groups that are actually fighting fascism in the real world here in America need ways to communicate with a broad segment of the population about what they're doing and what people can do to fight back. Probably all of these groups are still on Twitter, and I know they're on Facebook/Instagram. It's not supporting fascism to reach people where they are and to try to bring them into their group. If we boycott every single "bad" social media org, news org, corporation, etc. we should just throw our smart phones and laptops away and become hermits. Which actually might not be so bad. But every single company has some kind of unsavory element. Even Mastodon. Only posting here would mean missing about 98% of your target audience. That's not a useful strategy. npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer @nprofile…jddf @nprofile…mtgp @nprofile…uz4x LOL ok I guess the American Civil Liberties Union, Indivisible, and my local anti ICE organization are fascist. npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer @nprofile…ncl2 OMG!!

A couple months ago I could tell I had a sinus infection so I went to the doctor for an antibiotic prescription. A nurse checked my temperature and blood pressure and did a flu/covid test. Maybe three minutes. Then a doctor came in, I told her my symptoms, and she said yep, sounds like a sinus infection. I also talked to her for maybe three minutes. She gave me a prescription and I left. That was billed at $513. I am having to pay $84. This is why so many Americans don't go to the doctor when we're sick. #Healthcare #HealthInsurance https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/115/289/008/455/121/790/original/81b29ec8d8c2d193.jpg npub1k03fae3avdqukqg9fpemtaz8pjth69f93qr7rkfa8ct8az3dphlqgn9ypv Jennifer @nprofile…v387 @nprofile…t0hh I don't have the tech skills or the inclination to screw around with the OS.

It made me feel hopeful for the first time in a while. One of the highlights was Justin Jones, one of my state legislators who got kicked out by the Tennessee republican supermajority a few years ago after trying to force change after yet another school shooting. He's inspirational. And only 29!! He said as punishment for the incident a few years ago he was removed from his committees and put on the agriculture committee because he has no experience with agriculture. But he started traveling around the state meeting with farmers, and now he's one of the only elected officials meeting with them about the impacts of tariffs. He said a lot of people in deep red districts are changing their minds about democrats because they're the only ones trying to talk to and help people.
