You're like my tongue when I have Covid: no taste. #diss

@inthehands I remember reading this. And also to let the person know that you will be there for them no matter what. It makes it easier to leave if they know they have someone they can go to.

@evan Tip: if you want to nap on your break, don’t do it in a utility closet with a thin door where everyone on the hallway can hear you snoring. (A guy in my office may have made this mistake earlier this week.)

@markwyner Thank you. I definitely had some despair today. The people attacking us are relentless and indifferent to suffering. But forget them. We help each other.

The headline says it all: “Trump Declares He Can Wage Secret Wars Against Anyone He Calls an Enemy.” #uspol #authoritarianism

Just changed the lyrics to a song I wrote in 2002 for the 3rd time. It's nice that I can keep updating it to keep it relevant, and since only 2 other people on earth ever heard the original version, there's no one to mind! #songwriting

I made a to-do list this morning. It’s now 1:30 and I haven’t done a single thing on it! Time to get busy. First item: clean toes.

Today I started laying out the poetry book I put together several years ago. I was pleased to see that most of the poems feel as relevant as ever. #writing #publishing

Goodnight, Fediverse. May your dreams be blissful. #cats

@afewbugs They refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room.

Older story, still relevant and interesting. #protest #security

@WarnerCrocker I didn’t realize azaleas grew that far north! Pretty.

@Fragglemuppet Years ago, I knew there was something scary on the other side of a door in a dream. So, in the dream, I quickly thought, “It’s just going to be a bunny rabbit.” When the door opened, there was a human-sized rabbit wearing a top hat & tuxedo!
That’s the only time I’ve ever knowingly controlled a dream.

@Fragglemuppet What is Bob so grumpy about?

@dalias It’s not showing up for me. I know Meta likes to test features by rolling them out to just some users at first to see how they do.

@inthehands The fact that Stephen Miller is the one playing grownup & “managing” Musk tells me just how nuts Melon is.

Someone needs to write a script that will take a bunch of text (e.g. grant application, journal article) and go through it replacing the 27 illegal words with synonyms and random insertions of alternative ASCII characters. #idea #censorship

@rms Nice. I hope that “duumvir” gets the same recognition as “kakistocracy.” #language

Oh how weird. Male & female hemp plants are used differently. I had no idea! #TIL #plants
