Good morning. Just having a dance party with my kids. Except I’m here fully crying at Moana’s grandmother reminding her to be faithful to herself despite the pressure from all around her to be someone else.

Hormones are fruckin wild yall.

The MMR shot is safe and effective, and there is no credible evidence otherwise.

Breaking MMR into three shots means 3x more copays at the doctor’s office, 3x more hours of missed work, 3x more bummed out kiddos, and probably more than 3x as many kids who aren’t fully vaccinated.

@taoish haha yea that is definitely a bright side!

And man my hair was really having a good hair day…still probably not worth it

MinmiTheDino @minmi.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy · 14h

@taoish yea I took the bus for some stupid reason.

Like a very stupid reason.

Didn’t want to mess up my hair lol.

There is a catholic school near my house and it’s cheap and I’m sure the academics are at least good enough but I simply cannot send my boys to a school where the girls HAVE to dress like that.

I simply cannot.

Man my anxiety is not pleasant but sometimes it has actually really helped me avoid or prepare for a bad situation and it makes for some confusing coping strategies.

Truly obscene how long it takes to get from Noe to the sunset.

Ok I know this is really sloppy but it’s my first attempt at visible mending and I like it!

#visiblemending #textile

A shot of black pants with a big whole in the knee. The face of Mickey Mouse peeks through the whole, as a patch behind the whole. The patch is surrounded by gold thread, badly done.

This sucks. Newsom has been really disappointing on #climate (along with so, so many other things)

https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/virtual-power-plants/why-did-newsom-veto-californias-virtual-power-plant-bills

Why did Newsom veto California’s virtual power plant bills?

Supporters say the bills would have helped ease the state’s energy affordability crisis while strengthening grid reliability.

Ok #infosec people, can I get advice? I detest Meta but I have some friends and groups I absolutely cannot convince to switch to signal (WHY?!!) So my current strategy is to have WhatsApp on my iPad, which is at home, and does not have microphone access at all. But it does connect to my home […]

@[email protected] I will echo this same offer for up to two communities! I'll do the install, maintenance, upkeep, and keep the lights on. I have the automation to be able to run any of these:
- Mastodon
- Pixelfed
- GoToSocial
- Sharkey
- Akkoma
- Bonfire

And for that matter if anyone […]

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

My younger kid is developing a mom preference which sounds cute until it’s all “no I only want MOM to wipe my butt”

I spent last week interviewing folks for a disaster recovery manager job. Most of our candidates were from #usaid.

Hearing the about the impactful work they did up until July of this year made our challenges seem miniscule. Stabilizing Tanzania during an ebola outbreak, delivery aid to the […]

I’m not working this week and man…it is so much more fun than working 🤣

MinmiTheDino @minmi.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy · 2d

@taoish yea I do think there’s an element of that…at least I’m hoping. Really don’t want to deal with giant related nightmares. We just got past skeletons.

MinmiTheDino @minmi.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy · 2d

@taoish BFG is definitely (in theory) a kids book but the main conceit is that there exists a race of giants who go out every night to snatch children out of their beds and eat them.

My kid loves this book. Loves it. He is normally a deeply anxious child, especially around bedtime. I don’t […]

Picks up BFG by road Dahl

“Oh my god! BFG!! I love this book!”

Starts reading BFG to almost 5yo

“OMG ROALD DAHL WTF”

That book is DARK.

Spent the morning cleaning and organizing so now my house looks horrific. Wait…

Yesterday I leaned the French citizenship test includes MANY questions about wine. I have no idea if this is true and I will not be fact checking.

MinmiTheDino @minmi.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy · 3d

Why haven’t more millennials named their kid topanga? Honestly this surprises me.

@14mission haha I like the idea of just having odd enough interests that you simply must be human. Something to aspire to!

MinmiTheDino @minmi.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy · 3d

@14mission I’ve gotta imagine like 99% of cover letters now are just someone giving ChatGPT their resume and the job posting and saying “write me a cover letter.”

Hey #sanfrancisco friends! City leadership is going to pick a new chief of police soon. Now is a good time to apply pressure to make sure that the person picked has a strong commitment to protecting *all* the communities in the city.

Call the mayors office, call your supe, tell your friends […]
