Forty-eight hours ago we picked Ashley up from SportsVet boarding and brought her home. Today she very insistently led me the six or eight blocks back to SportsVet.I guess she liked it okay. 🐕 #dogsofmastodon https://www.philipbrewer.net/tag/dogsofmastodon/

I did a poor job of training Ashley to look at me. Instead of looking to me for guidance, she’s usually looking around, mostly looking for things she shouldn’t be doing.This morning, though, she was looking at me, so I seized the opportunity to get a picture of her that’s not just of the back of her head. #dogsofmastodon https://www.philipbrewer.net/tag/dogsofmastodon/

@futurebird I want a photo with you sitting next to a tiny little couch with an ant on it, presumably telling you its troubles.

I think it’s funny to pronounce baklava like balaclava. Fortunately, Jackie says it’s okay, as long as I’m not talking to the baker.Yummy desert.

Jackie almost always gets up before me and makes the coffee. But every few weeks I’ll wake up first and then I’ll be the one to make the coffee. And when I do, I bring Jackie a cup of bed coffee.Ashley routinely stays in bed until the second person gets up. #dogsofmastodon 🐕 https://www.philipbrewer.net/tag/dogsofmastodon/

I got my Covid-19 shot now, rather than waiting (as I have in the past) until I could time it's peak effectiveness for right before I go to visit my aged mother. That prompted me to write this bit:https://www.philipbrewer.net/2025/05/02/impact-of-economies-of-scale-for-vaccines/

To work on my Meyer fencing stance I came up with an exercise, and to help other people I made a video and wrote up a description. #HEMA #longsword #meyer https://www.philipbrewer.net/2025/05/06/my-new-meyer-fencing-stance-exercise/

I doubt if you need sword-master stickers as much as I do, but just in case you do, here's a couple of pictures, along with a link to buy your own: https://www.philipbrewer.net/2025/06/13/2025-06-13-1431/

One of my fellow #HEMA group members who is an outstanding artist has started an Etsy shop selling some handsome stickers with Chibi-style sword masters:https://www.etsy.com/shop/LucaniaArtsThey are truly wonderful.

@futurebird @erincandescent @Smoljaguar I think it's true.Credit card companies make SO MUCH just from the swipe fees, that they're happy to have affluent customers who never pay interest.I mean, those customers don't pay interest, but they also don't go bankrupt owing the credit card company a bunch of money.

@futurebird @CowboyWho @erincandescent @Smoljaguar Of course you can just use actual currency for transactions for free (except a tiny but growing handful of in-person shops that don't want to deal with cash). It's when you're not in-person that using currency becomes complex.

@futurebird @CowboyWho @erincandescent @Smoljaguar Yes, I think this is almost entirely regulatory capture by banks.I means, Europeans have been able to make same-day payments for 30 years now, and the US only turned on FedNow about two years ago, and the banks are still being pretty slow about adopting it.The banks are having to buckle under just a bit, though. Once a few banks provide it, the rest will have to do so to compete.
