  MS Outlook: You are not replying to the latest message in this conversation. Me: No shit. I'm responding to the original author of the email because THEY asked a question & someone else was stupid enough to hit "reply all" when responding with their answer which only the original poster needed and I'm not that stupid. Switching back to a home-grown email system can't come soon enough. 🤬

  RE: https://mstdn.social/@OregonLive/117474274095307249 I guess you have to be a celebrity to get a human response from them. All I get is the AI chatbot. 🙄

  Love it when the district wants us to install an app on our PERSONAL phones for MFA to use our district laptops at home. That's a big old FUCK NO from me. Either they provide us with district phones or they find another way to do MFA. I do not install Microsoft products on my personal devices.

  President Donald Trump on Monday sharply reduced the size of two national monuments in Utah, undoing protections established by former presidents on public lands that are sacred among many Native Americans. Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in southern Utah have ancient cliff dwellings, petroglyphs and scenic canyons, as well as coal and uranium deposits that state officials want made available for development. https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2026-07-13/trum...

  One thing my district did during our "remodel" was cut down all the trees right next to our buildings - for this very reason. My school is surrounded by a green space & a wooded park, so the district cut all shrubs & trees near the buildings, especially the sides closest to the green space, where we've seen people camp, hang out & smoke, etc. https://m.ai6yr.org/@BakerRL75/117027101054180742

  Fuck. My choices for routine medical care are a hideous Catholic system, a private equity system, or UW Medicine & all its hoops to jump through before they put you on the 6 month waitlist to see a doctor.

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @larand@appdot.net Decades ago, you could survive in Phoenix without A/C because it still cooled off at night. We'd open up the windows, set up the exhaust fan out one window & the intake fan in another window across the house, & sleep in relative coolness (upper 70s). Close up in the morning, close all the curtains, & we'd manage the day decently with fans. House was cinderblock, well-insulated, had deep roof overhangs & porches & sunshade screens....

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I remember when my old school district tried to pull this. I stood up the School Board mtg, held up my Nokia candy bar phone & asked when they'd be supplying us with staff iPhones for this mandate because I couldn't afford one on my teacher salary & if it was necessary for my job, then they should supply it. Amazing how quickly that mandate disappeared!

  My mom sent me a text yesterday that she wants me to bring monster cat back up here now that my cat has died. Today she sends me a text about all the cute things monster cat has done this morning. I don't think she'll be coming back with me.

  Any idea what type of service I'd call to trim some branches that are scraping the roof & wall of my condo? Landscaper? Arborist? Tree cutting company? I have a ladder & a big extension pruner, but I'm too short to get these even when I'm on the ladder & I'm not getting up on roofs anymore. HOA has done nothing, so I'm going to have to pay out of pocket. It's not a big job - probably 20 mins for someone who can get up on the roof.

  I will forever be grateful that Joe Biden fixed PSLF & my student loans were forgiven before mango fascist & his looters broke it again & are now screwing over all borrowers.
