The Origins of the Word "Moron" Are Actually REALLY Sinister It's much more than just a casual insult.

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.

It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

I feel very scammed by the cowgirl cookies today that had both sultanas and raisins. 😭😅

You sit on technology committees. You know the dangers of unregulated AI and deepfakes. Boosting the platforms traffic under.ines your work on tech accountability. Please stop using X.

By using X, you force your constituents to log into a platform that shows them nonconsensual and toxic imagery just to read your messages.

by continuing to use X as your primary communication channel, you are lending credibility to a platform that doesnt fix its safety issues.

@rokhanna.bsky.social Hi. Algorithmic generation of harmful imagery is not free speech its a defective product feature. As a constituent in Santa Clara, I am deeply concerned about your use of the X platform.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

💫managed to watch most of a movie with frankie which means we are almost out of the woods! (First of the hobbit movies) he also ate a real meal!

Already set him up with the throne of pillows so hes sleeping more upright. Humidifier. Steam bath earlier. Mucinex to loosen everything up.

And tonight isn't going to be the night I get a good night sleep 😭. A stressful thing as a parent is the gurgling sound of your child choking when coughing and there is literally nothing you can do.

Glad I listened to mom intuition rather than just assuming flu. 🫠flu is going around the bay area now and its likely he started with flu

And its pneumonia. 😭🫠at least he has little energy today.i feel utterly drained and I look forward to a good night sleep.

Resorted to bribery and minecraft in exchange for meds.

Taking a short breather from the Moooom to vent on bluesky before I dive back in. 🫠🫠🫠

There needs to be a mom-on-demand service. 😅for any of the random things that need a little extra care when kids sick. Thats totally going to be my next career. 😅😅😅

And hes refusing any kind of meds that could help his misery. 🫠🫠🫠.

The sugar-free cough drop incident happened the day before his nutcracker performance so that was fabulous timing. But now its the day before Christmas, and I feel the fatigue hitting in as hes on day 2 of being sick

🙃🫠😭so first I learned the dangers of sugarfree cough drops on unsuspecting kids who monster their way through a pack. Now with sick kid who has learned the wrong thing from this adventure and refuses to take any cough meds 😭

😳💕💕💕

Learning culture moderates how software organizations adopt tools and the implicit rules we're giving developers want what they can do, experiment with, push back on, and share.

And software has spent years dismissing it in favor of sloppy ad hoc velocity benchmarks

That's like the perfect stocking stuffer for a certain age group 😂

I kinda want to order some for my kids class 😅😅are they available ?

Does anyone know the secret of why band-aids are so much more effective than generics at sticking appropriately? Also why aren't there giant hydrocolloid bandages?

I can totally recommend the skin-flex motionmax band-aid for large knee abrasions 🙃bonus points for the adhesive not irritating me

So if you dont carry any kind of bag around, what are the critical things you carry around?
