Hacking the Holocaust
'Remember as you say punch nazis, WWII resistance heroes also smuggled and hid refugees, deleted refugee data, lied to cops, broke the law.'
'As fast as IBM used computers to update census data to round up Jews, ordinary people manipulated, deleted data, forged docs to save lives.'
'Remember this, engineers: you don't have to break the law, but giving users control of their data can help them save lives when they must.'
I've started actually reading this comic http://www.valsalia.com/comic/prologue/01/ and now I am *seeing yinglets everywhere* (which is not a bad thing but it's kind of strange)

found 2 #female #kittens right next to the motorway that i walk past. hiding in an area which has a tiny bit of trees.
nobody helped, but i did. took them home, gave some food & even took to the vets to check if they are chipped, theyre not. theyve been dumped
looking to get them rehoused. i cant keep them. i travel & would be unfair to them.
theyre both friendly & would love if someone could adopt them. ive contacted services regarding them.
i live in #leeds
today in wildlife rehab volunteering
* gave a great blue heron a watering pool & half-filled it with water (would have filled it completely but I think the pool had a hole in it. also herons are freaky-looking birds. and VERY LARGE.)
* fed baby squirrels
* DID NOT PEEK at a rhinoceros auklet (despite being very very tempted)
* decorated a large enclosure for a large iguana (he's evidently domesticated, they haven't found his owner or an adopter but he may become a zoo ambassador?)
I wanna make a joke about the newest Juicebro antics but I'm afraid it's been pretty much squeezed dry https://gizmodo.com/juicero-founder-hops-on-silicon-valleys-hot-starvation-1818583147
lost dog
he's a pretty little thing, seems a Pomeranian/terrier mix, gold and white, with perky ears and a curly tail. looks rather like a miniature golden husky.
the office people will take care of him until they can track down the owner or animal control picks him up, and in case of the latter I know he'll go to PAWS, which is a no-kill shelter, so I know he'll be well taken care of regardless. I hope he goes home, or finds a new, better one soon.
lost dog
well ok then. I just "rescued" a small dog that was wandering around the apartment complex. dunno where he lives; he doesn't seem to belong to anyone in the complex, but he's got a harness and collar, is in good health, is quite well-behaved, and wasn't particularly hungry or thirsty, so I suspect he escaped very recently. I can't keep him in my apartment, he immediately went after the cats and they both puffed up 5x regular size, so he's down at the rental office for the duration.
Depression /anxiety care tip
Hi Seattle friends (and elsewhere!)
The rain is lovely but this means we get less sun. Make sure you find other ways to get vitamin D, they help me a lot compared to when I don't have it!
If you also suffer from SAD consider getting a treatment lamp. There are some reasonably priced ones on Amazon all the time. I went big and have had mine for almost 10 years so if you can save up for a real good one it will probably pay off for ya!
boobs, my commissions, rad artists that could do with your support
I don't know if I've posted this one here but it's hella rad - commissioned it when my feelings of dysphoria were hitting pretty hard
anyway, the artist (@lizardsmooches@twitter) had a hell of a shitty day yesterday and is taking ko-fi sketch requests (SFW or NSFW) if you want to help out! https://twitter.com/Lizardsmooches/status/909919377444745216
