Have you seen the one in Santa Barbara, down by the train station? Centuries old, and it's massive. Some of the roots are almost as tall as an adult human. It even has its own Wiki page.
Weβre still doing this? Well, OK! Hereβs another one from UC Irvine campus taken today. #thicktrunktuesday
I couldn't help but think of the Hungry Tree in #Dublin for #ThickTrunkTuesday!

You must have been reading the New York Times, or Washington Post.
GOP does not want to admit that the kitty litter in classrooms is for active shooter situations when kids might be trapped in those rooms for hours.
"Pomona High in Arvada is equipped with the necessities in modern-day America: a touch-screen projector, a computer β and a bucket filled with kitty litter, just in case an active-shooting drill lasts longer than a studentβs bladder can handle."

Madison Square Garden used facial recognition to identify and stop a mom from attending a Christmas show with her kid because she's an attorney at a firm who is engaged in litigation with them.
This is why it's not enough to just ban government and law enforcement use of #facialrecognition. There are so many ways private companies and even individuals can abuse #biometric #surveillance tech.
#BanFacialRecognition entirely. Yesterday.

Iβm not sure if I want my child reading this book βThe Holy Bibleβ
It contains stories about rape, incest, homosexuality, murder, and many other adult situations.
It is also a blatant attempt at indoctrination. You know, that big scary word Fox News uses all the time.
@purplequeennl@writing.exchange @aral @lertsenem If the rules of your instance say spread the word, do. You don't control who broadcasts it where, and if someone on another instance finds it too horribly offensive, they can mute or block you. Easy enough.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
