My #Dad, aged 27, at #RefugeeCamp in #Indonesia - 1979. Photo was taken by humanitarian aid workers to help #VietnamWar#refugees get sponsored to go to Europe, Canada, USA & Australia, under asylum.
My Dad passed away June 9, 2023.
He went through hell & back, several times. He beat almost all odds. Until #covid infection in hospital in 2022. #LongCovid killed him last year.
This is to appease some well-meaning but overtly Christian and out-of-touch family members. Something for a 12yo who reads well above his age, along the lines of inspiration/motivation for teens to be good humans and members of society
Rather than have them pushing propaganda on my son I’d like to find a worthwhile read they will feel addresses the insufficient Christian influence in his life
Meet Zosia (Sophie), a new member of our #family! It was a bit of a struggle to get her here, but it’s all good now. She’s 54cm, 3,2kg, a healthy girl! Mom feels fine, the boys can’t wait to meet their new sister! She’s 1hour old on the picture!🥰 #NewBorn#Baby
27 October 1940 | Dutch Jewish girl, Henderika Leman, was born in Zwolle.
She was deported to Auschwitz from Westerbork in November 1942 with her younger brother Meijer and her mother Annette. They were all murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

Until high school, Kate Feiffer believed that her mother Judy's novel, "A Hot Property," was about real estate. Then a boyfriend plucked the book from the shelves, started reading passages aloud, and revealed it was a piece of 1970s erotica. From then until just a few years ago, Kate considered "A Hot Property" to be her literary Waterloo — the book she'd hoped to conquer but never been able to. But after her mother's death, she picked up the novel and — between bouts of screaming and cringing — found something more thoughtful and reflective than she was expecting. Here's what she wrote for LitHub.

Just walked into the kitchen to find this sitting on the countertop. It's not even 8:30 in the morning, and this is sitting in the kitchen on the countertop. Why is this just sitting here in the kitchen on the countertop. Who did this
There is NOTHING people won't lie to you about. ANY time someone tells you "nobody would lie about X" just tell them to shut their stupid fucking hole for me.
Angery morning so let me tell you a personal story in the replies.

Ok, es gibt wohl ein Bug mit leicht veralteten Admin Apps, die von Unternehmen eingesetzt werden, die auf #Android Arbeitsprofile einrichten. Mit dem Dezember Update für Android 14 und Installationen wie Google #Family, #Intune oder #Unternehmensportal, wird wohl die Berechtigung zur Installation aus unbekannten Quellen unveränderbar für den Hauptaccount festgelegt. Es ist dann nicht mehr möglich apk zu installieren. Nur über USB Debugging und #ADB install geht es noch.
Was so ready for our Traditional #Friday night #Family#IceCream trip! It’s been a long day 😓 had to bring my son in to the doctors after work. Double ear infection and an allergic reaction rash. Yeesh.
Went with hard ice cream for a change! What do you prefer, Hard ice cream or soft ice cream?
Hope everyone had a great Friday! After a hard working work week, don’t forget to relax and have some fun this weekend! 😎🎉
Going on a road trip with our four kids and our car is so packed full of containers that it is now definitively a #k3s instance, but only running on two control plane nodes - we might be a bit degraded, but production is still shipping right along! #Kubernetes#family
"The modern #GOP is supposed to be pro-family, pro-tax-cuts and anti-“waste, fraud and abuse.” So why are #Republican#senators trying to tank a bill that is all three?
