though exercise

in the ideal world, would cars have license plates?

when answering, keep in mind that there are numerous reports of ICE using license plate databases to threaten anyone who tries to make them obey the law

of course, cars are also quite dangerous and the public has an interest in making sure they're used safely

we don't feel like we know our own answer to this; we'd like to hear other people's thoughts

Does anyone know of good tools or libraries for diagramming data structures? Like, boxes with contents inside of them and arrows between them. I want to make some diagrams for my blog post that I'd like to look nice.

Bonus points for something that outputs SVG, because I'm on netlify and I don't want scrapers to chew up my bandwidth.

ok, so, i wrote a while back about my project where i made cards out of all my blocks on are.na. well, i ended up making a virtual card pulling thingy for them, and i am pretty pleased with it! (it's part of my "lab".)

lab.palomakop.tv/ideas/

i added a new section to the project page and wrote about the "why": palomakop.tv/notes/arena-cards

even though the tool is mostly for my own use, it's just public so anyone can try it. (i have nothing to hide 😅) i added image versions of all the cards to the output from the original script, so when i have new cards i just have to drop in the new folder and they'll automatically be included in the shuffle. :moomin_yay:

I tore a tree a tree out of our garden. Our neighbour said she didn’t want it to grow to adulthood, lest it take away their sun.

The green heart that I am, the tearing was done carefully by hand to avoid as much damage to the roots as I could. Then I delivered it by bike to the land where we pick our organic veggies and replanted it there myself.

Us Dutchies can do *anything* with a bike, even moreso when it’s a cargo bike, and there’s a kid in there to support the tree during transit.

Greetings everyone. This is my second attempt here on Mastodon. I suppose another post is in order. I had a glitch with the first account and I'm starting over. Fingers crossed.

I'm against mass surveillance. I believe privacy matters. Corporations have a deplorable habit of taking our privacy away piece by piece, so it's up to us to take it back.

I'm not as technically inclined as most here. I believe knowledge is power, my opinions are not always agreeable to many, and I boost things I find interesting.

Because I missed , (and don't have a cat at this time), please accept this painting by Diane Irvine Armitage as my offering.

"I know that many men and even women are afraid and angry when women do speak, because in this barbaric society, when women speak truly they speak subversively - they can't help it: if you're underneath, if you're kept down, you break out, you subvert. We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.

That's what I want - to hear you erupting. You young Mount St. Helenses who don't know the power in you - I want to hear you. I want to listen to you talking to each other and to us all: whether you're writing an article or a poem or a letter or teaching a class or talking with friends or reading a novel or making a speech or proposing a law or giving a judgement or singing the baby to sleep or discussing the fate of nations, I want to hear you. Speak with a woman's tongue. Come out and tell us what time of night it is! Don't let us sink back into silence. If we don't tell our truth, who will? Who'll speak for my children, and yours?"

— Ursula K. Le Guin, from her 1986 commencement address at Bryn Mawr College (published in Dancing at the Edge of the World: Thoughts on Words, Women, Places).

🤵🏻阿寶在婚禮上換第二套的時候,發現胸花不知為何被蹂躪到花朵已經骨折到要掉下來了,正在思考怎麼辦的時候,發現桌上有🌹紅玫瑰的胸花,而且是兩組。

嗯,兩組,我們沒有幫主婚人爸爸們別上胸花,哈哈哈哈。

兩人眼神交會後決定裝沒這件事,就讓阿寶換上原本是爸爸們要別的胸花二次進場。

爸爸、公公,真是抱歉,阿寶當天連配西裝皮鞋的襪子都忘記帶,不能奢望他會記得,而我因為要忙的事情太多了也忘記。

而且全場也沒有人發現這件事,所以準備要辦婚禮的新人們不要過度焦慮,很多事情大家都不會注意到的。

我從一開始就知道,若用處女座的工作態度籌備,只會累死。

一切簡化,不求完美。

例如場地在網路上儘量情蒐後,約看條件符合的,看完有個滿分10分的8.5分就可以了。

婚紗要先知道自己適合什麼款,就只專注在那一個類型,只試穿一間搞定。不在類似的款式當中不斷挑選最好的,滿分十分有九分就好了。

很細的一些例如桌花的花材,不要為了考慮到花季而煩惱婚禮辦幾月,因為賓客不會記得。

我跟阿寶籌備婚禮時沒有過不開心,平時也忙,讓煩惱越少越好。

若把婚禮視為超重要專案,全心全力投入也能享受其中的話就另當別論。
