It’s #AdoptACatMonth and we’re spotlighting some of our sweet seniors in need of homes! Seniors are often overlooked because of their age, but they’re as loving as their younger counterparts and can be just as playful too. We’ve got senior #kitties at all four of our shelters (in #Boston, #Methuen, #Centerville on #CapeCod, and #Salem). Stop by during open hours to adopt and learn more about them at mspca.org/adoptacat 😺

IIRC it basically meant/means to have slop "articles" on your site with some legit inline links for cover and then some other inline links to gambling garbage sites to boost those sites' SEO through manipulating search crawlers.
Though I'm not sure that method would even work anymore in the age of so-called "AI"-crawlers.

Bristolians' help needed!
Bit of a longshot perhaps, but my daughter is off to Bristol in September to study for the SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) and will be in need of accommodation.
She's studious, clean and tidy, sociable but not a habitual party animal. Total ally, but is in her early 20s and has all the absolute certainty about societal ills which comes with that.
She will pay her rent, on time, and pull her weight. She won't cover her stuff with name labels or leave passive-aggressive notes on the fridge.
If anybody has any insights into the (slightly more mature) student accommodation in Brizzle, a room to rent or even an offspring in a similar position, with whom to join forces, please drop me a message.
BOOSTS TREMENDOUSLY APPRECIATED!
a couple of Christmases ago the whole family went round to my brother's house, and he and his wife went all out - decorations, games, Santa footprints in icing sugar, the works.
When we were leaving I asked my niece what her favourite bit of Christmas was, and she said excitedly "When the cat did a poo on the stairs"
Years ago, when my son was still in primary school, we were doing the usual teatime catch-up on the kids' day, somewhat on autopilot.
Him: "This morning we had maths"
Us: "Oh good, you like that"
"Then this afternoon we had PE"
"Uh-huh. Yes, yes"
"And we saw a plane crash"
"Lovel- wait, WHAT?"
It turned out that a light airplane had ditched in a field about a mile away, and the kids had all been in the playground and seen it fall out of the sky.
It's a huge part of family folklore that he considered this the third most interesting thing he'd experienced that day.
This is so delightful and funny!

Meaning:
Is it possible to create a calendar event for a video conference (some time in the future) and set it to "send an email with a link to the video conference to the participants of the event"?

Someone educate the admins at mastodon.social that holocaust and Holocaust are different things. Note the capitalisation.
What israel is perpetrating in Palestine is *a* holocaust, not *the* Holocaust. And yes, it is genocide. And yes, they’re also guilty of close to eight decades of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler colonialism. All these things can be (and are) true at the same time.
Basically, if you’re defending israel in any way, shape, or form right now, you’re the worst of the worst. Almost a century ago, you’re the kind of person who would have been cheering on Hitler. And yes, that’s also a valid comparison.
(Genocide-loving Germans on mastodon.social don’t @ me. My mentions are a genocide-apologist-free zone.)

OMG, em dashes are not a sign of AI writing!
I kept hoping this myth would burn itself out, but no — the idea that em dashes are a sign of AI writing just keeps spreading. I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I crashed a segment into the latest Grammar Girl podcast.
The whole thing seems to have taken off after a popular GenZ culture podcast advised people to stop using the “the ChatGPT hyphen.” (And I have to confess it kills me that they didn't even know the name for it.) 🧵

Pollinator Week is a great time to share this print, which expresses the central theme of my work about the Future of Pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems. Our food sources & ecosystems around us are dependent on pollinators (mostly bees & other insects, some birds & mammals) but insects populations have lost huge numbers and many species altogether.🧵
