A social media post from a user "Harmony?"
Text:
I've spent over 30 years managing large government operations. One lesson I carry with me comes from the retirement years ago of an employee most would have considered "obscure." He was a quiet man arriving each morning with his sandwich, working steadily, and leaving without much fanfare. To many, he seemed part of the furniture. It was only when he left that we truly realized his value. Over the years, he had accumulated deep, almost invisible knowledge. He had taken on countless menial but essential tasks simply because he had the experience to do them well. He was, in many ways, the oil in the machine. His departure forced us to scramble. We suddenly saw how many small, critical pieces he had been holding together, pieces no job description had captured, and no system had tracked. Since then, I've often thought of him when I see organizations subjected to blind cuts. The true cost of such decisions is rarely visible on a balance sheet: it's in the loss of quiet expertise, institutional memory, and the small acts of continuity that keep complex systems running.

Post from Angry Staffer:
I’m not a doctor. Medical folks, thoughts on these ankles and hands?

I assume we’ll have to wait on the best selling book to find out what’s happening here

@marcsitkin #AltText it's a photo of a white-ish garage door that says in large all caps letters "Welcome to the end of the world" with an red-orange-ish apple depicted next to the text

Underneath in smaller letters it says: "2060hostels.com"

#GoodMorningWorlds
Mastodon seems to be behaving a bit better this morning.
I can see photos and videos, and notifications.

We are off to the community workshop this morning, then packing for a wedding in Winchester.

We will be setting off as soon as I have finished work for the day, so we will miss #MakersHour later, but I hope you all have a good one.

Spoke too soon, all the 'Unexpected Error' bars are appearing.

I doubt I will be online much until we get home on Monday evening.

Edit: I wonder if anyone's read all the #AltText? 😉

Just muted Jay Kuo’s account because he NEVER adds #AltText to images. He’s been on here long enough to know. Apparently he thinks he’s too important or famous to make his posts accessible. Add to the long list of “liberals who don’t give a shit about the disabled.”
