Photo of a very happy, smiling Sara in her doctoral top hat, wearing a long black skirt and a historically inspired black coat - with a ceremonial doctoral sword at her waist.
Become a PhD in Finland, get that sword and hat!
(You need to pay out of your nose for them & attend the official conferment ceremony but I've literally never felt this cool)

A photo of Nelson Mandela, the first Black President of South Africa and one of his many quotes: “it is in your hands, to make a better world for all who live in it.” At the top of the page is written the phrases “All of Us” and #AltCitizen, a campaign movement by the #AltGov coalition.
In light of the recent arrival of the first wave of WHITE South African immigrants to the US the other day, today’s #AltCitizen is Nelson Mandela. The first Black President of South Africa, Mandela was instrumental in not only ending apartheid, but also in giving Black people a voice. 🧵/1

I'm currently working USian retail
It's weird in my store
The register scanner can't do QR at all
The handgun recognizes QR, but the POS software doesn't work with it
There isn't a single instance I can think of where we'd use QR, we don't even use it to program the system

Oh, I guess I just didn't think of the option - in my case, I thought it was a matter of the scanner itself recognizing QR codes, but the register not.
Not that that's a sensical explanation now that it's left my head lol

Why are the registers able to scan QR codes anyway?
Or did they mean a barcode?

To be fair, a well-regulated militia doesn't necessarily mean one ran by the state.
It just means one with principles.

And even if it WERE true that there are more autistic people now than before, how are we supposed to know for sure without actually good-faith research?

"But it seems you're the only one who
can set this mess right."
Halvar nodded. "Yes. With this sword, I
think I can. But I'Il need time."
"We can give you that," said Kaya.
"Hold the bridge until I can separate
the realms once more."
"What is so important about this
accursed bridge?" said Harald. "What,
precisely, is on the other side?"
"People," said Halvar simply. Then he
sat, cross-legged, the sword across his
lap.
Almost 4 years ago, I was not doing well. Loss of self, purpose, and hope.
Then I read a story.
Omenpaths tore through the realms and hordes invaded. Protagonists found Halvar, alone, defending the bridge to a small village for no reason other than it was right and they were worth saving, too.

a brown and tan dachshund puppy lays on their back on a tile floor. the puppy is so small that he's the same length as one tile. his ears are splayed out on either side, his paws tucked in to his chest, and his eyes wide with terror. please show him mercy, we're begging you!
This is Dino. He saw you with that hot dog bun. Tried to get away but tripped over his own ears. 12/10 he has a family
