Another PM

Ken-Dogger: Hey there Nutter
Nutter: Dude, why do you call me Nutter?
KD: Well, it's short for Fluffer Nutter Peanut Butter, I can't even make an acronym out of it
N: Aw, that's not right, you humans are complex, you give us cute names, you attribute all sorts of feelings to us
KD: Well, we're just making you feel at home Buddy, we want you to feel the warmth
N: I do Dude, and the Love...Call me Nutter or Sport or Buddy, I'll come runnin' to ya
KD: All I ask...

The trouble is that for a fraction of humanity, including the sociopaths and narcissists, good will toward other people isn't something that comes naturally. They have to pretend to show it, and they hate doing that; among themselves, they ridicule treating people with respect as fake and dishonest.

Put such a person in a position of power, and the pretense of good will disappears like noonday dew. Everything becomes about threats and bribes, because those are the connections they understand.

I hope we don't spend the next 2 years allowing the GOP to define the narrative. Let them do their crazy stuff, we hold the Senate so they're limited, and they will lose yet more votes. Good.

But can we STOP talking about THEIR narrative, and start talking about our own please?

Thanks.

Curiosity sol 3653 Mastcam.

Occasionally, the rover will drive over a rock and break it. This provides an opportunity to take a look at the inside.

First thing I did when I joined this platform was learn where the tools were. I had bad experiences with trolls and stalking in other places. So, it was important to know where the mute/block and report buttons were.

See the 3 dots in the bottom right of this post? That's where your options are on any post you wish to use the tools.

Have fun, you'll be safe here. Learn how so that the process can further ensure that. It will. Trust it.

I have a great nurse. She's hilarious.

I had some radiotherapy on a skin lesion which left a burn that scabbed. She said 'do not pick at it'. I picked at it. It got infected. She came to sort it out and said 'Does it hurt?' And I said 'YES!'.

She said 'Good! I told you not to pick it!' 😂

@Florence Oof, yeah that's a bit rough. I hire people born around then too and it kinda stings 🤣

She was soon joined by others.

Tips for new members.

The Firehose is quite busy. To stop it from moving, simply scroll down just a bit.

To post pictures right side up, crop them a tiny bit before uploading. In most cases you only need to do this the first time you post a photo.

@Florence @leturos
It will be something ongoing for a while I think. Adjusting preferences is encouraged and very good. 💜

@Florence I don’t mind wrapping, but I hate ribbon. It’s the stick-on bow or nothing.

Good morning 🏃‍♂️ 🍵

It's an overcast morning in the park, so no fun photos. (Great birb sounds, though!)

I know we can expect a LOT of new in the next while.

Thanks to J on the backend / in the secret batcave, and the team of awesome greeters on the front, we'll get through it even if there are (literal) downtimes ahead.

So whatever you're up to this weekend?

Keep it awesome.
Keep it kind.
& keep sharing the good stuff where you can. We're here for it. 🎉

Happy Friday, all. 💫
