This Silicon Valley Startup Wants to Replace Morals and Personal Accountability with a Subscription-Based Service.

There is more sugar in one single can of Coke than in an entire 25 lb bag of salt.

Bitcoin is the ultimate experiment in "how can we make a system that is so free of regulation, it appears to be basically a giant front for crime?"

New Rules 

The person you are when you're at work is your moneysona.

And yes, I do make the rules. At least, I make my rules. You can make your own rules, if you want. You're allowed.

Do you wanna see 2 art commissions next month?

We only need $9 more to hit our $100 goal! We don't even have an artist lined up yet, so if you want to sign up for a spot for when we hit that goal each month let me know! (We pay $25 USD per commission)

and now I'm home, showered, fed, have tea, and am going to play Sims while my sore muscles freeze up. :P

volunteering, wildlife rehab, mild animal injury 

OH AND at one point I toured the empty enclosures with another volunteer--it was neat to be able to see them, we usually have to stay out when they're occupied--and we watched a half-dozen or so rats scuttling around the raccoon silos. very big, healthy rats. we need to rent a small coyote pack...

barred owls aren't migratory, but there have been several brought in recently; now's when they start getting territorial, and evidently it also makes them a little dumber--or at least less alert to danger than usual. :P

the rabbits, deer, and most of the raccoons and opossums are gone. there's just one batch of squirrels left. a lot of our workload is now cleaning and shutting things down for winter.

I got to watch (though I haven't progressed to helping yet, heh) one of the vets prepping a barred owl for a radiograph. when she brought it back (limp and groggy, but after a couple of minutes it was groggily fighting her and deemed recovered enough from the sedative) I asked how it was doing. evidently it was hit by a semi (!) and ended up in the truck's wheelwell (!!!) and is apparently COMPLETELY UNINJURED. that is one *lucky* owl!

the autumn slowdown continues. we're getting more birds in the ward, mostly migratory birds hitting windows, and then (fairly often) being attacked by cats. I asked if this was a seasonal thing, or if people were just bringing them in more often, and was told that it's a migratory bird thing, which makes sense. birds unfamiliar with city life come down where there's abundant food and shelter, and then have unpleasant learning experiences...

Me? Yeah, I was on Mastodon back when it was still underground.

PSA about prescription drug manufacturers 

If a drug you're prescribed changes in appearance, it's usually because the pharmacy switched to a different manufacturer.

If you're feeling off and your meds changed appearance, it could be the meds! Check online reviews of that manufacturer and drug to see if anyone else is reporting similar symptoms. Arm yourself with knowledge!

You can look up the pill by shape, appearance & markings at this website to find the manufacturer.
