  • If it's any consolation I am seeing bridged account for Mastodon over there. I think people will get more exposure to the wider Fedverse while they're there.

  • The fire is here. Who's bringing the smokes?
  • Me too. We can stay strong together.

  • Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?
  • You are in for a real treat when you make it to the second game!

  • Come to Biotech!
  • I'm losing it at doing the dishes 😂

  • Effective management achieved
  • So I ask Bert (my grey) every night "Are you ready?" before putting him to bed and I never really thought about it until the day he screamed it back at me as I was leaving for work one morning. I was in fact not ready at all and it was brutal coming from him.

  • I’m a neurology ICU nurse. The creep of AI in our hospitals terrifies me.
  • "The reasoning for bringing in AI tools to monitor patients is always that it will make life easier for us, but in my experience, technology in healthcare rarely makes things better. It usually just speeds up the factory floor, squeezing more out of us, so they can ultimately hire fewer of us. " - yup and there's not much we can do about it without harming a lot of people.

  • Same boat my friend. Never ever had a xitter account but I made a Bluesky account last week to check things out. My husband deleted his Twitter account quite a while back and has been sorely missing seeing people he followed. I tried getting him here but he really doesn't understand the whole set up. So I'm trying to convince him to join Bluesky. I have no idea what I'm doing over there but the folks there are much like we were here in the beginning in that everyone is helping each other learn. I do think that the platform will serve as a good bridge to get people learning about Federated platforms. We all have to start somewhere.

  • Yakuza creator Nagoshi says the era of game size being most important is coming to an end
  • I feel like Fantasy Life did this the best though. I absolutely loved this game and wish it would get a port to PC.

  • What pathetic cretins
  • In my heart I know that these children are in desperate need of love but my brain says they all need a good smack in the mouth.

  • Yes, Republicans who vowed retribution are now admitting Project 2025 is real
  • The election coverage I saw on AP this week confirms that they are compromised as well. They are dead to me.

  • Good boys
  • Makes me think of Molly.

  • Swing states: how Democratic vote stayed flat while Republican gains won it for Trump
  • Yes a few of my male friends did. One was typical genx "meh" and the others just hated Kamala because she's a woman. Honestly it's disgusting.

  • Joe Biden bites several babies at Halloween event
  • I just want to say that baby's turkey costume is using dish gloves for the "feet" and it's so derpy that I love it.

  • drawing by Leonardo da Vinci
  • He most certainly did aquire his knowledge through dissection. The real genius here is that he was able to see these structures in death and then "see" and reproduce it in his art of the living. Bodies in death do not look the same as bodies that are living.

  • Catholic hospital agrees to provide abortions after California sues over miscarriage care
  • Just adding this article here from the ACOG about how tenuous the definition of viability is and how few babies actually make it when delivered in the 20-25 week mark. We love to focus on those miracle babies who do make it this early but it is definitely not the norm.

  • Featured
    In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?
  • I will never stop wanting a remake of Eternal Darkness. All the other horror games got decent remakes/updates but where's the love for Eternal Darkness?

  • A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care
  • This is fucking barbaric. The hospital let her sit for 40 hours with a fetus hanging out of her uterus. Just take a moment to imagine what that alone must have felt like aside from the emotional horror of losing a pregnancy. We wouldn't even imagine treating pets or livestock this way but it's clear that these repugnant forced-birthers don't consider women to be people. One little pill to speed up the labor that her body already decided was needed was all that was required to keep this woman alive. What's the point of even having healthcare when we can't rely on it.

  • Sticky Butt
  • Oh that poor baby. Growing back new feathers sucks, especially all at once. I did find this article on how to safely use Lantern Fly tape Incase any one is interested.

  • You've Boned Your Last Married Skeleton!!!
  • Is this one new fad I don't know about because I have a neighbor who's done this exact same thing?

  • little buddy

    Saw this nice guy/gal in front of my shed this morning when I took the dog out. The dog was completely oblivious and I was able to get a nice pic without scaring it off.!

    slow federation

    I was curious if anyone knows anything about the large delay for content coming in from lemmy.world? There's a discussion over there in one of fediverse communities and apparently we're like a week behind in receiving data.

    Tarantula mid molt

    Here's another old picture from my vault. This is one of our Greenbottle blue tarantulas (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens). We spent the day watching this little guy molt from start to finish and took pictures of the whole process. You can see in this picture that he is laid out on his back on his molting malt. At this stage he has split from the carapace lengthwise down the sides and is currently pulling his legs out of the molt. We had two at the time and wanted to breed them but they both turned out to males.

    Here's a pic of my favorite little guy and one the only good pictures I've ever taken. Unfortunately he turned out to be a male so I didn't have him too long but he was a great tarantula to keep.
