The field in question is both where her children play during the school day and a major community green space.

And she wishes it was being paved to save herself a walk of less than 500 meters. From a parking lot down the street that is never full and explicitly allows us to park there for free.

A screenshot from Facebook of responses to the question "Anyone know what they're doing at the front field of the school?" The first response in blue "Trees. Trees everywhere. Black dirt=tree" The second response in red "wish they'd turn it into a parking lot but alas its more trees"

People really are not ok about cars.

I don't drink diet soda. Give me real sugar or give me water.

It's ok. A little quieter than it was during the frenzy. Better for people with special interests than for people who want to chat and shitpost.

I like a big general purpose server. The small specialized ones make me feel constrained.

Still walking over here.

All chili is real chili.

5-10% every year until you disappear from view.

I locked up down the street along side several other people who attempted the valet, but gave up because the wait was going to be too long.

Oh thank goodness Jerry still exists.

Ordinary citizens who should slow the fuck down.

Pretty normal. Sometimes it's down to personal preference so everyone will sort of collectively decide based on who's tired.

Hmm... Well I'm not leaving here, but if you are diversifying, I am also @rivikah@mstdn.social

If you like to hit things, but also like melody, the hammered dulcimer is super fun.

I will peer out through grime if I like!

Labour March Leader: What do we want?
Marchers: Fair wages!
Labour March Leader: When do we want them?
Me: Retroactive to the start of fiscal?

I'm not really cut out for this marching thing, am I?

ugh. Threads.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social my youngest child has decided to communicate only in squid emoji this morning and I blame you.

Not in text either. He literally says "squid emoji"

My kids have now decided who has the stupider toes.

And the embroidery. And like a dozen other things in that outfit that we also have fancy chemicals and big machines to take care of.

Is that the one with the unfortunate terms and conditions?

Exactly, it was prohibitively expensive *then* but now we have polyester.

Actual evidence of that seems to be a little thin, but anecdotally, yeah, for sure.

At this point I have to break in and explain that I would not, in fact, take a car. Walking is great.

I didn't actually see any sheep recently, but I've read One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish too many times not to say this every time the moon is pointed out.

Bad dreams are a covid symptom, yeah.

More naps anyway.

The moon was out and we saw some sheep.

Yeah. I'm kind of hoping that hospital visit raised some red flags for Children and Family Services.

Mastodon 🐘 A general-purpose Mastodon server with a 500 character limit. All languages are welcome.

I use mstdn.social It's fine. I like the general purpose nature of the place. But I don't look much at the local feeds or follow any of the conversations about the federation and defederation choices that instances make.

Oh fuck. There's a baby involved in this?

Someone who loves squids.
