Having someone tell you “you have this pattern in your life that, if you continue with it, will really hurt me.” Is incredibly hard to hear and incredibly loving to say.

Pay attention (I’m trying to).

Get this Bard an adventure

Posted to our #ttrpg group text:

“Curran is 6 days into a drunken binge after being carried kitten-style by that shape-shifted tiger.

He’s been kicked out of 4 taverns for beating other musicians with what was described as “a fucking oboe, and it hurt!” while singing scraps of drinking songs, and two more for storming the stage, yelling “wrong lyrics, you tone-deaf bag of air!”

This man needs another adventure, soon”

(Curran is my human bard :D ) #roleplay #dnd

Posting in your own site means #Facebook #instagram or #YouTube can’t decide if your writing is worth monetizing or not.

Omnivore - open source "read later" site and app

I was introduced to Omnivore.app by someone on Mastodon (can’t find the reference now, but thanks whoever you were)!

Omnivore is a “read later” app like Pocket, but free to use and open source. I’ve found the website to be well done, though there are some issues right now:

  • The iOS app freezes pretty often, so I do most of my reading on my Mac
  • The Firefox extension is easy to use but the “set labels” feature doesn’t seem to work, and I general want to label/tag everything.

I can’t seem to find documentation on what content types #Mastodon supports in the actual “status” content. I’ve seen posts with inline links and basic formatting, but don’t know how to post them.

When you’ve managed to make it too hot for cacti to survive, you’ve broken the desert. #climatechange #cacti #heatwave

Cacti need to cool down at night or through rain and mist. If that does not happen they sustain internal damage. Plants now suffering from prolonged, excessive heat may take months or years to die, Hernandez said.

Discord #poetry

the joys of online chat the growing branching living conversations violently mulched and spread inches thin on line-ruled floor stacked and strung one by one a flowing river frozen into immobile ice
