@MKSinSA One time while on a walk, Kassy the dog was confronted by an inquisitive hummingbird, who hovered a foot away from her face. After a few seconds, Kassy made her move. β€œWoof!” I don’t have that shot, but here she is with a butterfly.

"'It turned out that one of the biggest risks to our business model was catering to a very tightly knit group of investors who exhibit herd-like mentalities,' said a senior executive at the bank. 'I mean, doesn’t that sound like a bank run waiting to happen?'"

When I was in Luxembourg this weekend, I saw these embossed markings on crosswalk buttons that show the layout of the crossing. This one shows multiple car lanes, tram tracks and inbetween pedestrian islands. #accessibility

Had to explain to a friend about credit unions yesterday, their funds are at a "nickel-and-dime-you-to-death" big name #bank. Surprised not more people know about credit unions. (also NCUA insured, but funds are collected from members, nonprofit).

@zeljkazorz @sans_isc I got an email from a company saying basically β€œwe banked with SVB, so we’re using a new bank, here are the new routing numbers.”

Excuse me but I do not ACH money to numbers provided by unsolicited emails.

Particularly appreciating my local B-corporation bank today!

β€œThere is no debate to argue here. Trans people have been here forever and aren’t going anywhere. There is no ideology here. It’s simple. Trans rights are human rights. Anything stating the contrary is wrong.”

@geekysteven

What they really have trouble with is that, even if you're talking only about biology, gender is more analog than binary.

One of the reasons conservatives target transgender folks is because if you accept that gender is binary and immutable, you'll be more likely to accept that gender roles are too.

Because I am super earnest, I like LinkedIn Learning's marketing line about "creating a culture of learning."

I mean, sure, it's corny, but the only way we get better is by dedicating time to learning.

Many years ago, I was photographed for the Dear World project, and the motto I chose to write on my body was "keep learning."

I was 48 when I sold my first script, 52 when it got made, 54 when it was released.

Let me and tonight’s #Oscars be your reminder that it is never too late, you are never too old.

And ladies, as #MichelleYeoh said, we are NEVER past our prime.

Don’t stop until you’re dead.

I know it's related to work, but I see IPA and my only thought is "IsoPropyl Alcohol" You don't want to drink that.

@moliver @Talia_christine OMG what is it in the PNW that makes everybody crave IPA? I’ve yet to find a pub in Victoria that serves Rickard’s Red or Guinness on tap, but every one of them has eleventyone varieties of IPA (mainly local) with descriptions of how hoppy they are. Likewise the liquor stores have a zillion IPAs & maybe two brown ales if you’re lucky (& that will be a honey brown). Hopps per se are bitter, they should be used sparingly. Do not approve.

And if they're wearing a fancy dress and stole your Aunt Tilly's tablecloth to wear with it, you really have to panic.

Stop saying that Charles is king now. The Queen had so many corgis. Any one of them could be the rightful heir. It's 2023, and we still have not seen a single dog rule over England. This is an opportunity to correct our past mistakes.
