  1. The one change that worked: I told the men in my life I loved them – and my world opened up
    By Ioan Marc Jones

    At first I felt uncomfortable telling my dad, brother and friends how I felt. But I soon found it liberating, and once I started, I couldn’t stop

    I want to record a performance with my conceptual

    Antique #Accordion Orchestra

    Sort of a #Fluxus project of untrained performers playing layers of sounds from basically broken untuned 100 year old instruments

    We’ve done it before and it’s a huge pain to transport all the squeezeboxes

    But making a recording would preserve it

    And then I could give them away

  4. Unrelated, my internet router has just stopped serving dhcp? I guess?

    Jokes on me. Someone pulled the network cable from one of the switches… 🥲

  5. As Halloween nears I'm posting one of my favourite Disney cartoons. I first watched this as a kid on a VHS Video titled Scary Tales!The Legend of Sleepy Hollow narrated by Bing Crosby. No AI was used in creating this piece of beautiful animation. youtu.be/x5KR7TayjAk?si=NiW_xz

  7. @trumpet I'm having serious trouble accessing mas.to on my Android devices - 1 Samsung tablet and two Xiaomi phones.

    Last week when I logged out of @Tusky on all 3, I found that I could not log back in because I never got a chance to tick the captcha box on the Cloudflare verification page - it timed out ant took me back to "which instance?" page, with the error message "could not load the login page".

    I installed Moshidon on my tablet and WAS able to complete the verification and log in, but I just installed @pachli on both my phones and had exactly the same problem - the Cloudflare verification page starts loading, then kicks me back to the "which instance?" page, with the error message "could not load the login page".

    Once again, DID work, but I've never had this problem before. I regularly log out on all my devices, and have never had issues with logging back in before.

  8. Settling in to listen to a "true crime" podcast about my hometown. And my high school. And a classmate I graduated with. And teachers we had who did very bad things... 😬

  9. been struggling to find time to get in my twenty miles of running the last few weeks but everything worked great today. fastest times ever up and down the mountain—and so, so much of the happy brain juice. #sanfrancisco #running

  10. Because I was smart enough not to install iOS >18 on my phone, and whatever MacOS came after Seqouia on my desktop, I keep forgetting how bad liquid ass is. For those following at home I /did/ install it on my iPad hoping that window management would be cool now, but of course it is even worse on the new iOS than the old iPad window management was, so I disabled it entirely, which means I have less functionality for acceptable multitasking than I had in iOS 18. But whatever, I digress. The point of this ramble is that because I’m so generally safe from the “yOu caN SEe alL ur CoNTenT” brain disease that inflicted Apple UI designers, I often forget how horrifying it is to have every fucking button floating on top of my UI, like fuck me dead how did anyone ever approve this absolute nightmare of layers upon layers of shit? As I type this on Toot! (my favourite amazing masto client) I see my keyboard over the toot box which has buttons floating over it and which floats over the general timeline ugh god I hate it so much why is this happening to me #firstworldproblems

  11. P.S.

    Fun fact - My Mom has no diplomas - not even High School.

    She was forced to drop out when she with child (uh... that would have been me).

    But... she is probably one of the most intelligent and well-read people I know.

    At (soon to be) 82 years of age, her and I still talk regularly about the world, politics, history, and what we have both read lately. To this day she surprises me with her insights and he knowledge.

  12. please let this end quicker than the brexit voting did my heart can't take it anymore. #Lula13

  13. I need adapters for these video cables have ai watch my house xD

  14. I found that the absinthe flowed downhill and my last swig was mostly absinthe & cherry. Yum. They should make gummy bears in that flavor.

  15. It's really nice to convert some of my old bike blog posts from HTML to clean Markdown because I actually get to read posts about past adventures that I had forgotten about. Like this 200k cross-border shopping trip: ride-or-pie.netlify.app/2020/0

    It does make me a little sad about sitting at home with a broken elbow rather than going on new adventures.

  16. I listen to old skool #rave tracks that come up on my YT recommendations - but the memories are always bittersweet.

    Thinking back to those times, I do wonder if the reason that era (the last underground #subculture that Britain produced) is so fondly remembered and that it can't be recreated today isn't just #drugs ( #MDMA and other #partydrugs are more readily available today), but everyone was still quite naïve and optimistic - even Police and government?

    Authorities *could* have stomped on it in 1992/3 (and did have a half-arsed try), but the neoliberal Major government tended to leave alone anything that looked like a "legit small business" so a blind eye got turned to rampant #MoneyLaundering - and even the Criminal Justice Act wasn't really enforced till decades later.

  17. Finally a website entry in the form of Part 1 of my reviews of most recent Ugly Pop Records releases out of Toronto, Canada. Please share!

  18. There was a lightning strike nearby yesterday and my venerable (15 year old?) (I have replaced the batteries three times) APC RS 1500 UPS is making protest beeps rather than making much 240VAC. :blob_cat_ohnoes:

    I am thinking of replacing it, but the idea of buying another lead acid unit seems old fashioned. I see that APC is now Schneider, and I see that their lithium battery units are expensive.

    What is the no-fuss, plain, long-life choice these days?
    Please; not cheap, not fancy, solid, quiet, ugly, about 600W and about 1kWHr (obvs more on either would be Just Fine).

    Is this my #BYD moment?

  19. New characters and more new characters

    So many new characters in my story world

    I haven’t had even time coming up with the names for all of them. As I have gotten new ideas to add already existing stories. And the plot twist that has been bring so many great new layers into the stories. Can’t wait to get add everything on their rightful places on the stories. Seeing it all coming alive more.

    I was so happy that for once having new characters didn’t mean that I need to start new stories. LOL Because that is how it has been for awhile now. But for once I manage to add 3 new bands with all the members plus one wife of a drummer. Without adding any new stories or books. None of that. I was so happy. And honestly just relieved about more than anything.

    But that did last until Saturday evening. Being handed piece of information. That could be used as the inspiration of not only a new story but probably even new book series. I’m not revealing what the piece of information was. Because If I would end up using that I’m not giving that big of a spoiler.

    The thing that find most annoying about it this new possible inspiration for story. Is that I know it can be used as a base for really good story. And something even more darker than the other stories so far. It’s a temptation see what this idea could grow into. Not sure will I take it or not. Kinda need do more research about information to see. Is there actually story I would write down.

    So I’m not still sure will I give in and look how to turn this idea into story. That is my writing update this time.

    With love C.F. Grönroos

  22. I would like to publicly shame for limiting my password's MAXIMUM allowed length to only 16 characters

  23. Granville Island Lions Winter Ale is definitely in my top 3 beers of all time.

    No particular order:
    1) Mt. Begbie Tall Timber
    2) Granville Island Winter Ale
    3) Whitewater Brewing Farmer's Daughter Blonde Ale

    Honorable mention: pretty much the entire catalogue of Mt. Begbie, definite my singular favourite brewery hands down. They have at least 5 amazing beers, and their Kolsch is the best lighter beer I've ever had.

    This Granville Winter Ale might just be my all-time favourite.

  24. So, my previous apartment – it was in Leiden, on a narrow medieval street, and the buildings were all quite old so they weren't all built to the same standard floor-height, and the windows were all huge. As a result, I could look out my window and have a crystal clear view of the floor of the living room across from me, where some college girls lived.

    One day, they had some guy-friends over. And I happened to glance out the window and see one of these boys, mid-conversation, casually and smoothly drop to the floor, execute The Worm with flawless undulations, and spring back to his feet all in one effortless motion, carrying on like nothing happened.

    I'm haunted by it. Haunted by this impossibly cool guy I was never meant to perceive, this stolen glimpse of perfection. Where is he now, and is he doing The Worm?
