#socialmedia I got curious about this post thing. So I got a throwaway addy and signed up. From what I can see it looks more like the bluebird but it's all about making money.

I've not posted. If there's a news story there's a fee.

I can go to AP and Reuters for free. Why should I pay there? Why should I want to tip someone for posting a photo of their dog?

I'm still poking around a little, but I don't see what's so great about it.

Tons better here, IMO.

#coffee How to cope when there's a frozen pipe in the house. More coffee and no one dies...

This is a free link to the full report from the 1/6 committee hosted on The New York Times.

The executive summary is always easier. I prefer full reports simply because I used to prepare to argue cases and I wanted ALL the information. 😉

Enjoy. Or avoid. Your opt.

It begins with what haters spew. It finishes with why an examination of the racism and abuse being launched at these two women are an important entrance to the abuse being suffered by virtually all Black women.

#AIsucks So, I'm in trouble on FB for promoting violence because of a post talking about "kicking metaphorical ass."

Metaphorical, get it? It's a freaking metaphor. Not literally applicable.

Stupid AI.

I protested, but it's like spitting in the wind.

Meanwhile an attendee literally popped the presenter on the head in our writing class today. I'm in the process of banning him from the writers club FB page and in person. Which is where the "metaphorical" ass kicking came from.

Ugh.

#Victorianholidaycards I think this is probably a rendering of the old rhyme: Three little kittens, they lost their mittens and they began to cry... So cheerful. 🤷

Another one of the frog on frog combat holiday cards. Warm wishes you dying thing you.

#Lifehappens I never have to worry about sleeping too late. I have a dog...

This morning she got me up around 1:30 a.m. and insisted something was so wrong I had to be an alert woman warrior.

I listen because she's felt tornadoes coming before the weather service knows they're on the way.

She settled about half an hour ago.

Me? There's not enough coffee in the known universe to get the through the day. But I might end up immortal.

#life

The internet has become so critical to our place that I couldn’t perform elements of my work or my sister stream her movies, etc. she ended up cooking and cleaning after 10 hours without it. How quickly we adapt to new things. I was seven years old the first time I saw a television set. 😱

Optimum has decided I need a break from the net. All I have is the limited connectivity on my cell phone and the regular Internet has been off now for at least eight hours and they have no idea when it’s coming back.

#Victorianholidaycards

This one seems cheerful enough.
