When kid's room is messy, they have nightmares.
When kid has nightmares, they come into our room and crawl into our bed.
When kid sleeps in our bed, everyone sleeps poorly.
Solution to bad sleep: make kid clean room.
(In related news, kid's room is now clean, but I'm dozing off and it' s only 10:30 AM.)
In about 40 minutes (8 central) it's #monsterdon where we watch a movie together on fedi via the technology of hitting play at the same time.

This evening is a great example of the pragmatic uselessness of #EnvironmentCanada's #AQHI scale. It is a 1-10 scale but we've been officially at level "10+" for hours now, versus #EPA #AQI numbers showing steady increase in toxicity across the same period.
My area of the city is now currently pretty close to 300.
The garbage stinking inside after days of such excessive heat I could not manage to take it out from #disability and ongoing #access issues with our new ultra-tiny bin and rando strangers dumping til it is full? I'll be continuing to live with that for the time being as the foulness of the #AirQuality currently far outstrips my ability to clean it after leaving/re-entering my residence.
I just can't manage hours of avoidable coughing right now, especially as it tends to be so harsh that I can both vomit and lose contience.
The EPA numbers are very helpful for estimating personal risk in the moment. The "10+" from EnvironmentCanada? Not so much. 😐
Exactly so! Perhaps for the CEOs and landlord class they can simply not do anything themselves at "10+" (or require an underling to do so) but I'm pretty sure regular working folks don't have that option and those of us on #disability supports damn well don't have the resources to offload such tasks and dangers on others.
I am a big fan of assessment tools, rubrics, etc yet for YEARS now it has been clear that #EnvironmentCanada's #AHQI is grossly inadequate. A good clue is the fact that a "+" is even possible on a 10-point scale, ffs.
These aren't bonus points on a classroom assignment; they are critical data real people need for functioning as safely as possible in real world conditions.

L'Europe ayant fait le choix de n'utiliser ses réglements (DMA et DSA) que comme outil de négociations commerciales plutôt que comme lois votées démocratiquement à faire respecter sans faillir, il est parfaitement logique que Trump fasse de même.

Tech optimists have done such incredible damage to our environment
"It’s easy in tech circles to assume these problems will “work themselves out” – that innovation can keep pace with need, or that some carbon-neutral miracle is around the corner. That blind confidence ignores hard limits. Physics tells us that data centers and chips require energy, and water for cooling. There’s no escaping that in real world, each new server farm is another drain on land and sky."

Through the Indonesian Safe House Network, we — a small circle of trusted friends working professionally together — are committed to establishing a network of safe spaces across several regions of the archipelago.
Objectives
1. To provide a safe and discreet place for individuals in need of refuge.
2. To serve as a point of recovery, protection, and reflection for people at risk.
3. To maintain the sustainability of the safe houses with integrity and professionalism.
4. To offer employment opportunities in literacy and publishing, helping residents gain independence and contribute meaningfully.

in reply to Dana Fried • • •Also here's a question for all the second-language learners out there:
When I'm awake and fresh I can read or listen for a pretty long time and understand all/most of what's going on.
When I'm tired my capacity drops to basically zero and I fail to parse basic words.
Do you find you have the same problem?
