When people complain about PNW winters, I send them pictures of Michigan. Grayer, colder, flat as hell, farm desert tundra, and a land use program that allows this.
Dealing with Italian bureaucracy is fun.
I need a SPID (electronic credential) to order my Italian birth certificate online from my comune where I’m registered.
I need a physical card of my Codice Fiscale (Social Security Card) to get the SPID.
I snail mailed for the card 2 years ago, sent to the Italian Consulate in San Francisco, who is supposed to request it from Italy.
Consulate lost my application for Codice Fiscale.
Do others on Micro.blog truly get RSS updates in their timelines? I’ve subscribed to one and even though there have been new posts, I’m not getting the content. Same goes with a Tumblr blog I follow. Wondering if it’s just me.
Keep getting this error.

At a friends’ kids’ birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and I’m pretty sure this is how Covid started.
This last week has been kind of hellish in a sort of funny but not too funny sort of way.
We’ve all, at various overlapping times, had colds and conjunctivitis. Yep, pink eye.
Thank goodness for the extra days off. Sleeping but not well, and my wife has it in both eyes 👀. Looks awful
😖😳🤣
New air fryer owner, here. So I picked up some Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites from Costco to try cooking them in it. Might have a new addiction.
This is about the most American post I could conjur.
An excerpt from an interview with Noam Chomsky prior to the October 7 conflict.
For 50 years, Israel has been explicitly trying to use the Holocaust as a propaganda weapon to justify crushing the Palestinians, occupying Palestinian territory illegally, practically destroying Gaza [which is] almost unlivable now. A million children can’t even get potable water. The constant atrocities in the West Bank. You read journalists like Gideon Levy, Amira Hass, others, daily reports. They think they can get away with this as long as they can wave the Holocaust in front of people’s eyes.
I should say, this is explicit. So if you go back to 1973, Abba Eban, a leading Israel statesman and highly respected, wrote a very interesting article in the more liberal Jewish journal in the United States, Congress Weekly. In this article, he said the duty of American Jews is to show that any criticism of what he called Zionism, meaning the policies of his government, any criticism is either anti-semitism if it comes from non-Jews, or neurotic self-hatred if it comes from Jews. And he actually mentioned two people. I was proud to be one of them.

People have tried to get me to eat fish my entire life. It makes me gag. One of my favorites protests is: “you’ll like this, it doesn’t taste fishy at all!”
But why are people trying to get me to eat something that’s threshold for quality is that it doesn’t taste like the thing that it is? 🤔
Maybe a weird question, but anyone know if there are any free and open source budgeting apps for iOS with bank account sync? Or is that just way beyond what anyone should expect from FOSS?
I hadn’t logged into my Pixelfed account in a while. The Progressive Web App is a lot nicer now, IMO. Very polished.
Thinking of my brother on his heavenly birthday today. He would’ve been 41. Miss you.
When I see a “Log in with Google+” 🙈
Wrapping up week 4 in the new job and enjoying it. The first few months are all about finding your bearings. I’ve got a supportive team helping me grow into the role, but I’ve already had a lot of uncomfortable situations. Just picking up the discourse, the new language, is always a challenge.
Micro.blog down?

Apologies to anyone following my music listening history and sees everything from Elmo and Fugazi.

After two days of public transit and traveling around downtown Portland and Seattle, I’m really saddened by the fact that that my son was just about the only child I saw, and I honestly questioned my parenting by exposing him to certain things on this trip. I left with him for the KISS concert wondering if maybe he was too young for the show, not even really thinking about the realities of our cities. I figured out quick public transit trips ... https://indw.blog/2023/11/07/after-two-days.html
