We have a credible report that an unknown number of ICE agents were seen between 8-9am in the parking lot of Market Basket and in the City Hall area of Chelsea, MA.
We do not have numbers or any description of them beyond that at this time. Will share if any more information becomes available.
Remember, spread information not panic:
Report only verified information from yourself or a trusted source and report the information as specifically as possible.
Get pictures if possible.

This is the story we need right now:
Trump fired 20,000 probationary federal employees claiming they had poor performance, but court documents show that at least some of the fired employees had stellar performance, so U.S. District Judge William Alsup called that a lie and ordered the Trump administration to reinstate all the workers.
Because Trump is not above the law. 🧑🏻⚖️

The image is a four-panel comic strip featuring two characters. In the first panel, the character on the left says, "I like RPG X!" while the character on the right responds, "RPG Y is the best!" In the second panel, the character on the left looks sad and says, "But..." while the character on the right looks confused and says, "What...? Oh right-." The third panel shows a close-up of the character on the right with a dramatic background, saying, "But you can play how ever you want!" The fourth panel shows the character on the left crying and the character on the right saying, "Sorry, almost forgot." The characters are drawn in a simple, cartoonish style with minimal detail, and the comic strip uses speech bubbles to convey dialogue.

Mastodon will no longer support Redis Namespaces. The reasons are fully valid. Redis (or, more specifically, Valkey or KeyDB) is lightweight software that is easy to install/manage, so separation is always a good thing.
However, I read that many admins will face problems because they use Redis "in the cloud" and, therefore, have a single instance. Unfortunately, this is also a side effect of the "cloud," meaning the loss of control over your own software.
On FreeBSD, a thin jail with "Redis" takes up very little space and resources.
#OwnYourData – in the long run – always pays off.

Am Freitag wurde mir die Gallenblase entfernt und direkt davor habe ich mir prompt den Fuß beim Wandern verstaucht. Nun kann ich also 2 Wochen lang nur auf Krücken gehen, mich nicht bücken, nichts heben und nicht lange sitzen. Ein Traum. ✨
Damit ich nicht in grumpiger Depression versinke, weil ich nicht wandern kann, plane ich nun, jeden Tag ein kleines Bastelprojekt zu machen. :3 also, machen wir das beste draus!
Blood pressure at home: Green light from the machine
Blood pressure at the doctors office: You are about to explode and should be safely confined.
I'm not actually freaked out by doctors or anything, so I'm not sure why this is. Once I figured this out, I just take a measurement at home before going and show them the photo. It's apparently common enough for them to just accept that.
I think it's a recognised fact that people's blood pressure is higher in medical situations. They call it White Coat Syndrome.
I guess even just being out of home at the surgery is enough to raise your blood pressure, even if your mind is actually fine with it.
Exercises from the watercolour course I started (and abandoned) last year. Although I have no will power to concentrate on precision in the evening, I can’t not notice I’ve improved in understanding - things just make more sense to me. All the same ideas (blending edges with the background, painting shapes not lines) but I “hear” it better this time. Taking long breaks helps, practicing “your thing”, your own way of doing it also helps

Dammit, we missed Ruth Amos, on TV last night.

I suspect (and dumbing down is often not really the intention I guess) that these types of shows are geared less towards learning and inspiration and more towards entertainment.
That's how I feel about them especially when the directors prefer filming a face talking, or just nodding, instead of the thing that is being done.
But I want to see this show anyway, and before I pass any judgement on it directly.
