  1. “Decide yourself if radio’s gonna to stay …”

    R.E.M.'s debut Murmur is released on April 12, 1983. It's Rolling Stone's Best Album of 1983 beating out Michael Jackson's Thriller, Synchronicity from The Police and U2's War. It's considered one of the most influential debut albums in rock history -- it set the bar for indie and alt-rockers that would follow. #rem #murmur #80srock #rock #rockmusic #alternativerock #altrock #athensga #classicrock #music #musicsky

  3. #AthensGA - #Mending Workshop with the #SwapShop

    "Join our bi-weekly Mending Workshop! This is a collaborative, regularly occurring event between the MLC Swap Shop and the #Makerspace. Bring your clothes in need of patches, adjustments, and repair! Bring any fiber projects that you’re working on to be in community while you knit, #crochet, or create! Or, just come in to hang out and learn a new skill :)

    Each week we will have a new skill or theme around mending or #sustainability, often utilizing different technologies in the Makerspace. Our fibers area has 4 Singer sewing machines that will be open for use. The Makerspace will provide needles, thread, scrap fabric, and sewing tools for workshop participants.

    This weeks theme is:

    ~ Upcycling ~

    Have an item that you can’t bring yourself to get rid of, but it isn’t quite right? Come to the mending workshop and learn how to make it your own!"

  6. This month, two neo-Nazi groups, Blood Tribe and the Goyim Defense League, are planning a large rally in #Florida. Blood Tribe and the GDL have not publicly released the rally date but over the Labor Day weekend seems likely. Comments on the Telegram messaging application suggest that the neo-Nazi rally will take place in or near Orlando.

    Today, we are exposing the leader of the "Dixie" regional division of Blood Tribe, who has been marshaling his forces for the Florida rally.

    Steven Jason Parr presently lives in Athens, Georgia with his wife but hopes to eventually move to Maine, where Blood Tribe’s leader has purchased land. Before he became a fully-fledged neo-Nazi, Parr was an active Proud Boy in Georgia.

    As we document in our article, Parr frequently posts about violence and has a history of harassment. We hope #AthensGA residents will circulate this information and warn about Parr. We also seek further details about Parr's work -- he has mentioned working on air conditioning but we do not presently have a company name.

  7. My local shelter in Athens, GA is out of space for dogs and needs five dogs adopted as SOON as POSSIBLE, hopefully TODAY. None of the dogs have behavioral issues, there's simply not enough space.

    Feel free to steal this post and put it on whatever social media site you want, I could use help!

  8. Extended Profile

    Synopsis:

    • a herd of cats, most of whom are asleep at any given time
    • social media girlboss
    • actually 3 LLMs in the emperor's new trenchcoat
    • time-traveler from the past... oh FFS, what have you kids been up to??
    • Unfrozen Cavegirl Coder: your modern client-side paradigms frighten and confuse me...

    Truisms:

    • Time not only flies, it goes first class and charges the tickets to my account.
    • I have so far succeeded in my life goal of never graduating from anywhere.
    • That which didn't kill me just really messed me up for a long time and I was lucky to ever get myself back together again. (It also made me stranger.)

    Personal sites:

    I also run issuepedia.org and htyp.org but nobody knows why.

    Details

    My legal name is:
    Woozalia Nicola Jadzia Rayner Staddon
    (...but you can call me Woozle, which is short for Woozalia and is also what my parents called me from the time I was about a week old.)

    I met @Harena online in February 2001, and we've been hypertwins ever since.

    We both live in #DurhamNC, where we grew up 3 blocks apart (but, again, we first met online) in the 1970s (give or take).

    I was born in Toronto, grew up in Durham (1967-'85), spent a summer in Ann Arbor MI (1985), lived in #ProvidenceRI working at #BrownU Psychology Dept. (1985-1989), moved back to Durham and worked at #DukeU (Humanities Computing Facility, 1990-'91) writing neural network software, lived in #AthensGA (1991-2001), then finally again moved back to Durham.

    Things I sometimes do:

    • post original music
    • write about #JennyHypertwin
    • escalate the War on Bullshit
    • write lots of unfinished software
    • administer TootCat
    • complain about tech (mainly software)
    • feel inadequate
    • take photos of clouds

    (If the above doesn't show as a bulleted list for you -- please complain to your instance admin. ^.^)

    I was on #GPlus when the walls fell.

    I was on Facebook in the early 200?s, several years before everyone else discovered it (a Dutch friend from IRC dragged me there).

    Defenestrated* since 2005; prefer Ubuntu MATE.

    I started an online store at about the same time Jeff Bezos did. He had family willing to invest in it, though.

    I never understood the appeal of marriage, but I tried it for ten years anyway. Not my cuppa cola.

    (I don't drink coffee; I don't like it. Cola is my one vice.)

    My ideas are my children. (Wait, I guess I'd better explain that... I helped Harena raise her 3 youngers, and I have a biological daughter from the aforementioned marriage who is awesome and doing well for herself in Atlanta -- but I very much never wanted kids, and neither did H. It was always other people who did.)
