My son (11 y/o) drew these this morning and he was so proud of them that he wanted me to share it with the world.

He and his sister are such great artists. Her work will be posted soon as well. She didn't want to be left out. 😊

Here's my daughter's (8 y/o) flowers that she drew. She only used three colors but it's playing tricks on my eyes and feels like a lot more.

I need some assistance. I want to learn more about the and experience. I'm looking for book recommendations that cover this and toxic masculinity with a decent focus on the social construct of gender.

Since I have dyslexia it must also be available as an audiobook version. Thank you for the recommendations if you have them and if you know of someone that might be able to help could you please pass this post on to them as well.

I say a proper compromise is to provide audio of the trial: less showboating but a public record....
Trump and media want a televised trial in D.C. The Justice Dept. doesn’t. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/11/04/trump-trial-cameras-court-televise/

@jeffjarvis How about have the video recorded, but not televised. The recoding could be made available at the conclusion of the trial.

CNN talks about Palestinian deaths like its a natural disaster.

"Palestinian American family mourns 42 relatives killed in a single day in Gaza"

How exactly were they killed CNN? Was it an earthquake? A flood? Some sort of natural disaster? The number of videos I've seen of Palestinians who have lost entire generations of their families because they were bombed in their homes, facing western journalists with absolutely no empathy for them, is sickening.

I'm seeing pictures in the "Notifications" column in Mastodon advanced view now.

That's a welcomed change. SOOOOO much better now. Not sure if this was on the instance side or what, but I'm very grateful.

Okay, on to my dad's masterpiece(s) . You've asked to see some.

I snapped 8 of them, a very insignificant random sampling that don't translate well because the light reflected off of them no matter where I tried to take the pics. So they're even better than this.

These 1st 2 are from an album he labeled "L.A." That's all I know. I don't know the year or the locations other than Los Angeles.

This is the first of a 🧵 1/...

The silliest thing about all the lies about @Are0h , is that they distract from important conversations about how to improve blocklists.

Someone will say some important criticism about blocklists, but then it'll be drowned out by 5 days of someone else saying "I heard Ro kicks puppies! But only white puppies! He's the real racist!" 🤡

This is like the 5th round of debunking.

At this point if you choose to believe the lies, it says more about you than it says about how convincing the lies are.

KC Davis should be essential reading and viewing for anyone with ADHD or depression. They do such important work. They’ve written a book ‘How to keep house while drowning’ and posts videos on TikTok and IG (yes, I know, sucks but that’s where the audience is!).

Their main message is: unlearn the programming we’ve all had around cleanliness and morality. Stop beating yourself up. Hack your brain to do things in a way that is compassionate and actually useful.

Weird bug I’ve never seen with any previous iPhone I’ve owned: my iPhone 15 Pro stopped charging over USB-C. Tried multiple cables, multiple chargers, nothing.

Powered the iPhone off and back on, and it’s back to normal. But I can’t recall ever seeing an iPhone refuse to charge before. (iOS 17.0.3.)

wesley83,
@wesley83@hachyderm.io avatar

@gruber I've seen this with several devices and in order to get them to charge I had to use a power only cable. Meaning, no data. Have you tried that as well?
