while the fediverse is certainly not perfect, it is a good reminder that we can do things that work for us, not monetize us for the benefit of others.

just like a vacation from work, it will be around as a nice alternative to the commercial/centralized/huge platforms, even if we sometimes have to deal with said huge platforms.

i was a very voracious SFF reader in my teens and 20s. one of the very few books i remember distinctly *not* finishing was the first covenant book.

@tinker

yiddish don't mess around. couple of my favorites:

"if god lived on earth, someone would throw rocks through his windows"

"may you be like a lampost and hang all day and burn all night"'

"may you be like an onion, with your head growing into the ground"
