Back from #FOSDEM and it was great! It was so cool to see people there and experience it, as while it may not be Nivenly's first FOSDEM it was definitely mine.

So many notes for how to attend next year 😎

This #Caturday is my annual reminder post for holiday plants that might be toxic to your kitties! 🪴 :neocat:

SUPER dangerous, both require immediate calls to poison control and emergency vet visits:

:neocat_0_0: Lilies: the whole plant is toxic: flower, stem, pollen. Even ingesting only a small amount can lead to acute kidney failure.
:neocat_0_0: Yew: also immediately life threatening. There is no safe amount.

Less dangerous, but maybe keep out of where pets can reach them:

:neocat_blush: Holly: upset stomach, mouth damage from the points on the leaves.
:neocat_blush: Poinsettias: upset stomach, mostly.

Every pet's friend Chewy :chewy_logo: has made two quick tables: unsafe plants and their severity, and safe alternatives.

Shower thoughts:

It'd be nice if read-receipts (RRs) in more apps used a model that is gaining traction:

* All
* All but some
* None but some
* None

Maybe you want RR 💬 s on for loved ones, but not work. Or not people who you know and support who have anxiety, where the RRs add to that anxiety and all that.

I appreciate that this ability varies on technology so some apps have it and some do not :blobfoxheartcute:

@bonfire@indieweb.social 's crowdfunding campaign is live!

This is a great opportunity to support an amazing tool that is putting in massive effort to improving self-hosting experience on the Fediverse and people's ability to maintain their boundaries on the open internet. Well done! :blobfoxhappy:
