Tashi has worked hard to earn his certifications as a therapy dog. He picked out this tie for his interview and has been hired at Clearing Clouds Counseling. His favorite modality is motivational listening. He's great with anxiety and depression disorders. Kids love him, and he understands spectrum, neuro diversity, and ADHD. He's trauma informed and can soothe a savage beast.

@crossgolf_rebel Die Regeln kannte ich bei troet.cafe auch. Und ich bin auch weiterhin der Ansicht, dass ich diese befolgt habe.
Es sind weiterhin nur selbst auflegte, Regeln und eben keine gesetzliche Regelung, welche gegebenenfalls juristische Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen.
Das wäre im Fediverse auch denkbar unmöglich. Aber gleichzeitig ist es der Grund, warum zum Beispiel öffentliche Einrichtungen und vor allem kommerzielle Anbieter, Firmen, dem Netzwerk fernbleiben und lieber Bluesky verwenden beispielsweise.
Es gibt auf Mastodon nirgendwo die Sicherheit, dass die nicht irgendjemand einfach deinen Account, indem du viel Arbeit hinein gesteckt hast, dicht macht. Du kannst Glück haben und einen guten Server erwischen mit guten Leuten.
Was ich zum Beispiel schon häufiger angemahnt habe, ist, dass die Kommunikation meist auf der Strecke bleibt.
Und dann bleibt oft nicht mehr als nur gute Absichten und im Zweifelsfall eben ein Schulterzucken.
Als Anwender Nutzer ist man hier nicht besser dran, als auf Facebook oder Twitter …
das sind schon mal unterschiedliche herangehensweisen.
Während wir alten immer wieder gesagt haben, nutzt eigen Instanzen und gerade für Firmen, Kommunen usw. ihr seid Herr über eure Instanzen die niemand außer euch dicht machen kann.
Wir werden und wurden dafür verlacht, und von SocialMediaProfis angemault.
Das ist eine herangehensweise, die von denen keiner mehr kennt und das ist so schade. Lieber verschenken sie ihre Daten und lassen sich als von denen Knechten, als selber aktiv zu sein.
Und, eine eigene Instanz mit egal welcher Software bekommt man echt für einen schmalen Taler, wenn man es nicht allein machen will.
Wer auf Bluesky rennt, ist immer noch in geschlossenen Käfigen verhaftet. Sorry, aber den Weg gehe ich nicht mehr.
The best way to peace in the long run is to give Ukraine whatever weapons ir wants (except nukes) and let it knock the imperialism out of Russia for good.

#Poland analyst Konrad Muzyka on #Ukraine strikes on #Russia fuel infrastructure this month:
The big question is whether Ukraine can sustain this strike tempo into the autumn and winter. The strategic aim would be to prevent Russia from repairing damaged facilities and force cumulative degradation of its refining and storage network. In March, Ukraine carried out eight strikes against critical infrastructure inside Russia, but activity then slowed until August. This month alone, however, has already seen around 15 strikes, suggesting a renewed emphasis on deep interdiction. If sustained, this pattern could significantly complicate Moscow’s ability to stabilise domestic fuel supplies. At the same time, Russia will almost certainly respond with strikes against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure as the weather turns colder, raising the prospect of another high-intensity campaign targeting energy and civilian resilience.

“19th-Century Japanese patterns, 21st-Century style”
New Design: Vintage Pine Needle Design from Shin-Bijutsukai Monthly (1902) Products
Dig into a slice of design history with the “Pine Needle Design from Shin-Bijutsukai Monthly (1902).” It’s a beautifully stylized pattern of pine branches—soft, flowing lines and subtle colors that give off serious vintage charm. Originally found in a Japanese design magazine from the early 1900s, this pattern feels both timeless and fresh.

Welch Design and Photography" at the top of the frame. The video also includes circular insets showing the same design on a t-shirt, a tote bag, and a pillow, emphasizing the versatility of the pattern.

The video concludes with a plain gray background displaying the same text, reinforcing the design's source and availability.

If we have learned anything about climatological models is, they are too conservative to accurately track the actual response.
They can only report on data they have observed and analyzed but the chief characteristic of a complex system like the planet's climate is a transition state transition chaotic. It is extremely difficult to predict.
The easy analogy is a speaker feedback from a microphone. That explosive squawk is the nature of the feedback

From the injuries, it seems she landed on her left side - both left legs give her trouble, and that’s the side with the broken tooth.
She felt better enough this morning that she climbed the single stair up onto the entryway floor.
If the choice is between Hitlerian AI and accurate AI, Trump is between a rock and a hard place. An AI like Grok that says—“I am MechaHitler!”—might expose his ideology a little too bracingly.
But an accurate AI will contradict his lies. trib.al/W3rCs0O
