Here’s a photo I took of Grandma’s Curb. She lovingly cared for this cherished mid-street curb for decades. On hot summer days, she would carry a bucket of water to the curb to water it and scrubbed out blemishes. She died at 107 but now Councilmember Saka wants to remove this historic curb?

I hope every laid off dev who poured their soul into a project understands and allows themselves to recognize that you need to grieve after. Like, seriously grieve. It's a loss, a big one, and if you don't process it like grief, it will get stuck inside and rot, like any trauma.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰
