We had to pry out of his nest, but once he smelled the food his appetite came back and he ate a bunch.

Another encouraging sign from the Pippi: funny streaks on the bathroom mirror. When he was younger, he'd spend 5-10 minutes at a time stimming with his paws stroking the mirror's surface. He hasn't done it in a while; it's nice to see signs he's enjoying familiar activities. 😺

    It's August, which means time to read Marge Piercy's poem, "Attack of the Squash People." (Hey, she might be perfect for "Jew of the Day," @raf)

    Got my cilantro and lettuce in. It's not too late, right? 😅​

    In other news, we have 22 healthy baby asparagus! We only paid for 20, so our sprouting rate really exceeded expectations, lol. I think a few were tangled together.

    Here's a fun quiz I just found - do you love a particular thing, activity, organization, event, etc.?

    Takes about a minute to fill out: https://thethingswelove.com/is-it-really-love-quiz/

    I'd be curious to hear what y'all are taking the quiz about and what scores you get. 👀

    @mariyadelano I entered foraging mushrooms, and got True Love.

    It was timely - I just found a large patch of black trumpet mushrooms on a hike this afternoon and cooked them up for dinner!

    @mariyadelano They are, and there are many species that are easy to identify. Black trumpet is one of those.

    @devxvda I read an in-depth New Yorker article on Soylent years ago and that aspect of it really struck me. Particularly when the writer described an office or shared living space - can't remember which - where everyone switched to a Soylent-based diet at the same time.

    Another interesting article from yesterday, this time about the algorithm.

    https://www.entrepreneur.com/science-technology/linkedin-changed-its-algorithms-heres-how-your-posts/454728

    LinkedIn is supposedly trying to:

    1. Show more content from people you follow
    2. Mostly display content that's giving actually relevant, useful, and targeted professional advice. (i.e. not a "productivity hack" relevant to everyone but something like debugging tips shown to software developers)

    Glad to be reading this after getting my account back..

    [GOT IT BACK!] Friends, I need help

    , who I heavily depend on to run my marketing agency, suspended me without a reason (“suspected unauthorized login” is what they've said) on Thursday last week

    I made a case immediately, crickets. Now a friend posted on my behalf on Twitter https://twitter.com/bellastone/status/1673406459701260298?s=20

    And their support replied with this.

    This is a huge impact to my business. So if any of you can bring more attention to that tweet or know anyone at LinkedIn... I'd appreciate your help.

    Hi friends. We’ve got some post-coup and news to discuss.

    As I suspected… none of this is over, it seems.

    First of all - is still nowhere to be seen and never confirmed that he arrived in

    I’m confirming some of what I’m seeing on Telegram and will be updating this thread over the next hour. Strap in?

    greenmountaingirl,
    @greenmountaingirl@babka.social avatar

    @mariyadelano Again, thank you so much for this thread! The news about the mined plant is very scary.

    Is there any speculation about whether this attempted coup significantly hampered Russia's ability to prosecute the war in Ukraine?

    Again, thank you. 🙏​
