We bring ours home to our outside trash can because once we threw it away in a neighbor’s and he brought us the poop back and not-so-kindly suggested we keep it out of his trash. (The trash collector was coming within the hour to collect the can, and the bag was tightly tied)
I’m here to satisfy my addiction to doomscrolling. Bring on the memes.

93maddie94@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How the fuck do I find out where and when all these protests and rallies are happening?27·19 days agoThis has some. I don’t think 50501 is on there but there’s a range of events. My teacher’s union posted on here and then I found a few more.
93maddie94@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Removing Watermarks From Images With Gemini Is Now Way Too EasyEnglish7·24 days agoWhat if I asked it to place a white border around the image? Would it watermark the white, which I could then crop?
93maddie94@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•US measles cases reach 5-year high; 15 states report cases, Texas outbreak grows5·26 days ago“And in 2019 there was a startling 1,274 cases, largely driven by massive outbreaks in New York”
But also, we are higher in less than three months than we have been in entire years in the past. There’s still time.
93maddie94@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device?1·2 months agoOur house is mostly mobile. We each have a laptop but it’s more for “bigger things” like filing taxes, booking a trip, designing something, and filling out forms. We have decided that we are getting a desktop within the next year, however. We have a toddler and it’s important to me that she is able to navigate a mouse and keyboard. I work in a school library and my lesson on using the catalog in 2nd grade begins with how to use a computer mouse because I have some of the only desktops that are left in the school. (I’ve even had grown-ass adults come in and try to touch the screen).
93maddie94@lemm.eeto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: Being intellectually gifted is a spectrum of neurodivergence and does not automatically mean the person is/will be a genius in anythingEnglish1·6 months agoWhen we do testing in schools to determine giftedness it is the top 95th percentile of different tests. It wasn’t just reading and math but also nonverbal tasks (like tangram type things). We used state testing and IQ scores as well. We tried to create a whole profile of a child and then determine which ones met the criteria of requiring gifted services (95th percentile and above). I don’t think there’s a federal guideline so each state (or even each district) sets their own parameters. The twice exceptional kids were the ones with ADHD or other diagnoses. But yes, it was possible that these kids were not the “smart, model student” though I’ve had plenty of those as well.
Pretend it’s a seed
