  1. Please reply to this thread with links to books on Libby or Kindle, or to Goodreads or Bookwyrm reviews. If you were ever a teenage reader, what did you enjoy? What do you think is valuable literature to be exposed to before setting out on your own? #books #reading #literature #library #ReadingCommunity #WhatToRead #YALiterature #readers #readingclub #readersofmastodon #read2024 #read

  2. I’m trying to create a list of good books that teenagers should be reading before they head off to college. There is a decline in literacy and readership amongst the younger people and we would do well to come up with some great books that are hella engaging for growing minds. I would love to put together a social media campaign across the web.

  3. Kinda funny that we’ve gone full circle. Used to be, in the olden days, you’d dial into your buddy’s BBS over 9600 baud modem dialup. Boop beep beep boop beep beep boop. You’re in! It’s a goldmine, filled with interesting discussions, the most niche possible, nothing like you could ever find in the mainstream flesh.

    Then we went commercial. The ISPs, search engine portals, and big websites funneling people into massive groups of random amalgamation communities. No real cohesion or commonality, just a trough to feed from for ad monetization. Followed quickly with walled gardens of all sizes and shapes, and also questionable allegiances to community vs. commercial interest. Soon even these groups were torn asunder, and needed to find a way back…

    And now here we are. Logging into our buddy’s federated instance with an AP protocol. At Toot toot toot at toot toot toot dot net. You’re in! It’s a goldmine, filled with interesting discussions, the most niche possible, nothing like you could ever find in the mainstream flesh.

  4. if you’re Jewish
    you must be Zionist
    if you’re Zionist
    you’re the enemy
    of my enemy
    and that’s enough
    for Christian Rapture Dominists
    who just want the world to burn
    so their skies can open

    the waymos are burning
    skaters are burdens
    immigrants burdens
    queers burdens
    the sick
    the elderly
    scientists
    what’s the viral burden
    what’s the frequency

  5. 🚨 You Had One Job — FutureCon Seattle 2025 🔐

    In 2024, attackers didn’t need phishing emails. They waited for the next zero-day in your firewall. As Mandiant’s M-Trends 2025 shows, edge device exploits are now the top intrusion vector — and security vendors themselves are becoming the new initial access brokers (unintentionally, of course).

    My talk at #FutureConSeattle was a no-BS reality check: 10 ways orgs are still failing at foundational security, and how to fix it — no buzzwords, no user-blaming, no new vendor required.

    🛠️ Just configure what you already own, document it, and follow through. Because no one wants to explain how your security box got you owned.

  8. 9️⃣ False Signs & Deception
    📖 2 Thess. 2:9-10 – The Antichrist will use false signs to deceive people.

    Trump: No miracles, but plenty of fake achievements, conspiracy theories, and outright lies (30,573+ documented by fact-checkers). His followers treat him like a divine figure anyway. 🤡

  10. Today I am finishing setting up this #Proxmox VE and getting ready for it to host crafty.social, the community I am building on #Pixelfed for #crafters, #makers, and #artists, who are *done* with the ML slop and the authoritarian control of Meta properties. Crafty.social is currently running on my MacBook via Docker containers with the aid of a #Cloudflare tunnel, and Cloudflare R2 for storage, so the cutover to new hardware should be a breeze.

  11. Watched the Latvian #Flow last night with one of my children and that’s sure an example of a #SacredMovie. I can certainly see why it is nominated for an #AcademyAward for Best #AnimatedFilm. There is no dialogue in this #movie—it’s about a #cat and some other #animals of various sorts, who live in a timeline where their planet is flooded, humans are gone, and they have to cooperate in order to survive. While the characters are more than slightly #anthropomorphic, for the most part these are realistic depictions of how animals generally behave, which I felt was engaging and drove the narrative because you didn’t have such a hard time #SuspendingDisbelief. The encounters with the #MirroredSurfaces refer to the ability of animals to be #selfconscious, and the #floods and foreboding referred to #humanity’s demonstrated inability to #selfreflect or head off #disaster. There were a number of #MagicalRealism elements that I felt are not to be taken literally, but directly lend to the thematic intent, so as to provide for metaphorically demonstrating the sacred quality of #community, and the redemptive power of #sacrifice.

    Stylistically the #animation reminded me of Waking Life with its rotoscoping technique, crossed with the cel shading like from Zelda Breath of the Wild. As the creatures traipsed through watery gorges of lush greenery and tried to catch colorful fish swimming through recently flooded tropical forests, I was struck by the regard the animators paid towards faithfully rendering the movement, structure, and dynamics of living things in this #film, and how that really communicates the #joy and #awe we feel when we regard the #beauty, and #terror, of #life in its full extant.

    My child said she loved when they found out that “real #friendship is more important than fake #friends.”

  17. Kamala and her Vice Presidential nominee, Tim Walz, have called on us to return to a time of unity, to help our neighbors, and to drop the rancor that has become so toxic in our body politic. This is the leadership that can transform our country.

  18. Tonight, as Kamala Harris delivered her inspiring acceptance speech, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and hope for our nation. Her powerful words at the Democratic National Convention have cemented her vision for a United States defined by compassion, unity, and resilience.

  19. Hey big American corporations. You backed employer-based coverage and a watered-down #ACA instead of a #PublicOption or #MedicareForAll. Now premiums, deductibles, and payroll contributions rise every year. Open enrollment means less care and higher costs. If you want lower employment costs and a healthier workforce, stop running healthcare. Standardize a #UniversalClaimForm, expand #Medicare eligibility, and let companies make products instead of pretending to run medicine. Make it so.

    Dismissed Parliament. Ruled alone.
    Ignored the courts.
