Scruffalicious. #dog #DogsOfMastodon
How would you rate this level of scruffiness? #dog #DogsOfMastodon
This scrufflehead curled up against my back this morning. It was nice. #dog #DogsOfMastodon

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io My mom had her pancreas removed a year ago, triggering a string of issues that are still not fully resolved. (In addition to becoming a type 1 diabetic at 76.) This is awesome! Especially because pancreatic cancer is usually asymptomatic until it spreads too far to stop.
26/31 chapters reviewed. Still teared up at the sad part. Hopefully that's a good sign. These two knuckleheads make me smile. I'm hoping they do the same for other people too! :)

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io @benroyce@mastodon.social One of the first steps on my anti-racism journey was a woman in the UK I was friends with on Livejournal. She was Black, dealt with poverty and harassment, and was patient with my white girl questions. Technology let me connect with someone I would otherwise never have met who had a major impact on me.
So yeah, not the tech. It’s the ghouls we let dictate things that are.
Editing pass of book complete. I think I got the ending stuff much more into the characters' POVs than it had been, which is part of what was hurting the passages.
Now it'll sit "in a drawer" for a week or two, then I'll start the line edit/proofreading pass. Then maybe one more pass where I read it out loud.
Meantime I need to find a cover artist who has a better idea than I do about what cover it needs. :)

@Eetschrijver @fesshole I mean, the fact he can recognize uselessness in another spouse implies he’s doing a lot more right than he gives himself credit for. :)
Fox is hosting a show to find the dimbest American. I can only assume this is to find their next presidential candidate.
If I don’t admit it’s a migraine, it isn’t, right?
Got to just under 60% of the editing pass. Despite a migraine. Yay. Now to see if I can sleep at night after having failed several times to nap away the migraine.
Listening to my sister recount elements of Teen Wolf to her husband is cracking me up. :)
@lydiaschoch@mastodon.social My dog doesn't, but my sister's dog will sometimes just go upstairs, open the door to the bedroom herself, and go to bed. :)

@TechDesk@flipboard.social @MikeElgan@mastodon.social Well that sounds completely healthy and not at all problematic…
I have passed 56k on my thriller. The protag has just volunteered for the psychic examination that will see whether or not he killed his wife. But because I have a day job, I have to go to bed instead of finishing up the scene! Gah!

@LibertyForward1@beige.party @fesshole@mastodon.social Yes, they are. I think both parent and offspring have an unhealthy relationship with their children's teeth.
@jalefkowit@hachyderm.io Someone has an obsession, and it isn't the spouses...

I mentioned in sprint planning that I wanted to drop a bit of info on the remaining rewrite tickets.
My boss told me not to. The engineers should just know what to do.
He sure is acting like he thinks he can do my job better than I can. I hope I can find an exit so I can make him try.

@Eetschrijver @fesshole Could be. This is one I’m more curious about than most of the fessers. :)

@MostlyHarmless This sounds amazing. Doctors these days just don't have their patients' best interest at heart! ;)

@TechDesk@flipboard.social @MikeElgan@mastodon.social Sigh. I would like to get off this timeline. It is not very smart.
The #terrierist has a particular pitch in her barking that makes it feel like my skull is going to crack. The "joys" of #migraines and #dogs who scream at other dogs through the window.

@Lironah@mstdn.games Thanks! I did get to 66% on the editing pass, which makes me feel accomplished enough to maybe banish the stupid dreams. :)
I wonder what it means when, twice in the same night, I dream of being in a car that's driven off a bridge and into water? At least the second time I just woke up.
(It means it was Father's Day yesterday, mostly, and I was ignoring my father-related angst, btw.)

@fesshole Doing the Lord's work. :D

Everyone has an explanation.
They’re wrong.

@saraislet@infosec.exchange I'm not sure at what point my boss is going to realize the changes aren't going to show up in not going over the budgets he keeps making me whittle down below what I know the work will take.

@pseudonym@mastodon.online Oh, and my boss's solution is to just have AI review the PR.

@pseudonym@mastodon.online I am trying to review the 94 file changes in the stuff I’ve had generated over the last few days. I hate it.

@Pepijn@mastodon.online @Malm@mathstodon.xyz @vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de The only cattle I had access to was my uncle's ranch, and they never had the herd close enough to the house to ride, even if they would have been docile enough for that. (Since I never saw them, I have no idea!) That's where I got my horse rides, though.
Great #JaneAustin-related humor :)

@zackwhittaker@mastodon.social And so they're going to .... continue to rake in profits, refuse to cover patient care, and continue to put our data at risk, I assume. *sigh*
@TruffleDogs@writing.exchange The most amazing thing is how bad my scruffy boy is at finding things dropped on the floor.
Replying to
@NicksWorld@mastodon.stickbear.me The average Walmart worker has to get government assistance in order to pay for housing and food. That is not a living wage. We could start there.
@Lironah@mstdn.games My brain was hitting all the highlights: falling into water in a vehicle, trying to manage my dad's health and addiction, my mom falling over, being in control of a vehicle I can't properly steer or stop. The only thing I don't think showed up was missing college classes and trying to find an apartment.

@FredJohansen@writing.exchange Congrats! I’m slogging through the rough part of my second draft of number 2 while waiting on the cover for number 1 so I can publish it.
@authorhelp@gts.phillipsuk.org @writingbooks@fedigroups.social This open to non-Brits as well? I love the idea! :)

BTW, if you're worried about the American football, my septuagenarian mother who hasn't watch football could follow it, so even if you're not familiar with the sport, don't let it hold you back. :)
