I am a weird, white, cis-het #linguist who loves all of the #animals, who has two #dogs now and has had lots of dogs over the years, and who really likes #linguistics and #languages. I work with an #IndigenousLanguage community in the US on developing #languageTech. I am learning to improve my #coding and I want to know everything about your languages and your #pets. Also a big fan of you know, #nature, and not being a fascist. It's not my server so I save my data here for only 2 weeks.

Good morning, friends β˜• β˜• πŸ• πŸ• πŸ’ž πŸ’ž

Thanks to @ingalls for the reminder that May 18 is the anniversary of the Mt St Helens eruption (1980), and it's worth marking that day.

We had moved from Yakima to Wenatchee a few years earlier, so got the reports of 'darkness at noon' by phone from my grandma who was still there.

This ⬇️ is a US Forest Service photo, taken at 1:30PM on Yakima Avenue, Yakima WA, on May 18 as the ash cloud passed through.

Diagnosis: partial ACL tear on the right.

Knee anatomy: still weird.

Action plan: rest, antiinflammatories, weight loss. Settle in, his knees are injury-prone.

#Niko was very scared but did much better at the vet than his last visit.

#Gracie and #Niko are enjoying a tiny morning tussle and I'm getting ready for another day of weird academic writing tasks because...that's how we roll over here.

Last night the dude and I had the great good fortune to see a thing that made us laugh so hard we couldn't breathe (to be fair, we were punchy). Start at 30 seconds in, or watch the whole minute and a half...

Hey WaPo: does he want us to think about how we should have approximately 7 clothes, all monochromatic brown/black, and the ones we're not wearing eerily equally spaced along a white wall in our eerily spare and monochromatic apartment?

Good morning β˜• mastofriends and happy second gotcha day to little #Niko! πŸŽ‰ πŸŽ‰ πŸŽ‚

I had picked him up at the shelter (Pathways for Paws <-- heroes) and he had gotten carsick in his little pet carrier on the way home.

Our adoption protocol has always been "hey we have capacity to take care of another dog" and we just pick up whoever's nearest by and needs a home. We're so lucky that on this day, it was Niko.

a tiny puppy is exploring a messy living room, with an almost grown up puppy following him around. There's a christmas tree surrounded by a puppy fence, and the living room is very messy but the dogs are very cute.

We had a big adventure, involving a 2hr ride in the car and learning about a new temporary lodging.

It was hard work, and they're tired. Time for snoozle cuddles πŸ’€ πŸ’€

Halp ideas?

We have a multi-image #docker container that we use as a development environment for a web app.

We have this container running on WSL and Mac, and remotely on a Vultr server running debian11. It runs fine, and uses < 9gigs of disk.

But we set up access to VMs for student developers on a remote machine. The instances run Ubuntu22.04.

And these instances RELIABLY and quickly fill up 20gigs of root disk space every time they're run, choking the machine. 1/x

first cup of coffee ready to drink, and the pups are having their morning chewies

This afternoon I have to do a thing that I'm irrationally afraid of, so obviously it's gonna be a weird one over here but it'll probably be good in the end.

the same two dogs, still laying on the same rug in the same messy room, each chewing on a chew treat.

Today I had to be away most of the day for a school trip to Tohono O'odham Community College.

The pluses: amazing people, beautiful day, TOCC campus is gorgeous, there was a harris' hawk family hanging out nearby, the language work they're doing there is awesome.

The minuses: I had to drive the van (😱 ) and I had to be away from Gracie and Niko all day.

On balance, it was a plus. Now we are all sleepy though so #goodNightFriends

As we sort out our plan for the day please enjoy these pictures of Patches the guard llama who lives in Montana. I got to meet him last summer, and he is a lovely guy; also, llamas have ...strange ... feet.

A picture of the lower half of the llama, Patches, standing in his field. Shows his furry furry tummy and his woolly top-of-legs and his very interesting feet.

#GoodMorningFriends β˜• β˜• πŸ’ž πŸ’ž πŸ• πŸ• πŸ’ž πŸ’ž as we're starting our day, I've added the Wall Street Journal to my morning news scan, because I can access it thru a uni-sponsored subscription.

And my advice for you all is PLEASE never read the WSJ 'opinions' section. Wow. Just don't. It's...I mean today they have dershowitz...

...yeah. Just don't do it.

Instead, maybe you'll have some good doggos or kittehs or friends to talk to?

Good morning, FediFriends β˜• β˜• πŸ• πŸ• πŸ’ž πŸ’ž

For #WedsNeigh here is a picture of me and the dude and Azhi Baba (the grey) and Fallon (the bay) in front of the Great Pyramids in Feb., 2003.

We had an invite from a friend who was living in Cairo, and when she asked me about itineraries I said "if I could ride an Arabian horse in Egypt I will be happy". She knew some people who ran a non-terrible riding concession at the Great Pyramids, and my dream came true.
