  A donkey friend of ours has this fantastical painting by Diné artist Haskay Yahne Yah on her wall. I love everything about it. Including that the main donkey is bigger than the world’s largest horse. #asstodon

  RE: https://zirk.us/@impermanen_/117061965738754513 The most painful part of this is the gnawing sense that I *can’t not* be a part of the problem. I can offer only a technical alternative to a problem that is not a technical problem. At a fundamental level it’s hard not to feel that however I may protest or offer an alternative, I’m recruited against my will. The kind of economic change we need is just so fundamental.

  They donkeys like to play with big dog toys. The coyotes do too and they try to steal the donkeys’ toys during the night. If more than two coyotes get in on the heist they sometimes succeed. But usually not. Anyway, dear neighbors, that’s what the loud chorus of 1 am brays was about. #asstodon

  70% drop in hospital admissions and days off from work or school when people with poorly controlled #asthma had their gas stoves replaced with electric. Turns out that not polluting your home with fossil gas works 2x better than medications for treating asthma. Doctors should be able to prescribe induction cooktops to asthma patients and insurance should cover it. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/24/replacing-gas-stove-can-help-asthmatics-as-much-as-some-drugs-us-experts-find

  Best friends 💞 It looks like a tug-o-war game, but it’s really more of a dance. They go round and round in a circle like this trying to keep the band taut without either pulling it away from the other. If one loses hold of the band the other immediately holds it up to him to restore the connection. #asstodon

  Independence is a fiction. No person is independent. No group is independent. No country is independent. There isn’t any phenomenon in the universe that is independent. We just impose that idea on experience to stave off the scary realization that there is no solid, lasting, independent self. #IndependenceDay

  In case you missed it: getting the #shingles #vaccine lowers your risk of dementia later in live by 20% and even slows the progress of the disease for people already suffering from Alzheimer’s. Shingles itself is awful: painful and even mentally debilitating. So please consider getting the vaccine. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2025/03/shingles-vaccination-dementia.html

  Some good local #asstodon news. Since having a bad tooth extracted a couple days ago Manuel has resumed his usual vigorous play activities. Which mostly center around biting things.

  Something interesting I learned about donkeys yesterday: it’s very hard to get a hypodermic needle in their neck. As a vet you have exactly one chance. This is because donkeys have mobile veins! They can retract their jugular vein behind a very thick, tough sheath. They can even temporarily shut down cutaneous blood flow. This is a capability most mammals don’t have! It makes donkeys highly resistant to attacks by predators and gives them special ability to function at high elevations.

  Australia is introducing free daytime power in July. They’ve installed so much #solar that the challenge is to use it effectively. People who can shift their electricity usage to the day (think retirees or people that work from home) can save a lot even if they don’t have solar. Anyone with a battery or two installed could see their power bill for many months go to almost zero. Batteries are the key to having an economy that can run on solar and wind all the time. https://lenergy.com.au/free-...

  Tough day today for the donks. They don’t know it yet but they’re getting their teeth floated plus vaccines and deworming. They’ll probably hate all humans for a few days before they forgive how mean we have been to them. #asstodon

  The biting flies are fierce this time of year and they zero in mercilessly on equine legs. Trying the donkeys out out with some pony leggings for protection. Manuel: “Hmmm, I dunno, man.”

  Can anyone recommend a #Canadian employment attorney that is good and has a reasonable rate? I am in the US and (if some $ comes through) am looking into hiring a person who happens to be Canadian. Apparently it's complicated. Appreciate boosts, esp from all you lovely Canucks... @mayintoronto@beige.party @Bowreality@thecanadian.social @alipunk@thecanadian.social @brettcannon@mastodon.social @BrentToderian@mastodon.online

  My mother, the last member of my family aside from me, is in very serious condition and also in deep, practiced denial about it. She refuses any kind of medical care for religious reasons that I do not share, putting me in a very difficult spot as her medical power of attorney. Everything is extraordinarily fucked up in ways I won’t even try to explain. I may not be sharing much of anything here during this time.

  Starting year 3 with no income now. We’ve basically decided not to sell the farm. We just can’t bring ourselves to do it. Instead we’re starting to liquidate retirement accounts. Here’s to being stupid! 🍻 At least there will be donkeys to share here. Anyway, posting because I’ll be doing a demo of my still-half-baked (but cool) non-AI-that-works-like-AI thing today for a large residential solar company that truly needs it. Wish me luck. We could use a whole year of luck in 2026 ha ha ha! Yeah.
