#memories — Public Fediverse posts

Die Verlängerung meines Flickr-Abos stand an – ein guter Anlass, die eigene Fotolösung zu überdenken. 📸
Jetzt bin ich komplett zu Nextcloud mit Memories gewechselt. Erfüllt für mich seinen Zweck und spart mir über 200 € für zwei Jahre. Wieder ein Abo weniger. 😊

The best part of curating one's old photos is discovering forgotten memories. Here are Jeanne and Cyndi in a Mifflintown parade with the Brownie Troupe they led in the 1970s. #photo #photos #photography #photographer #photographers #photographs #oldphotos #oldphotographs #curatingphotos #curatingphotographs #memory #memories #remembering #1970s #brownies #brownietroupe #brownietroupes #brownieleader #brownieleaders #parade #smalltown #smalltownlife #smalltownliving #mifflintown

Another try, Another cry

Or is this post a time robbing crime?

Today kicks off another season for excitement, frustration, unhealthy snacks and ROLL TIDE FOOTBALL !!!

Here we go Willie! Another year of high hopes, spilt tears and a championship up for grabs, good luck.

This is tough. I have many years I would want to relive so I could make the changes that affect the present but there is a haunting thought in the dark recess of my mind telling me this is the major one. With that said I guess today’s answer would be 1982. This is the year I got married, and started my over the road career in earnest. I won’t go into detail but there it is.

In the gist of life’s journey I often gripe about the present affairs

I stopped to smell a lilac today and it flooded my memories, taking me back to a time in life where I had nothing to gripe about. The purple flower was a symbol of love and beauty that my mother told me was the gist of life. I was maybe five or six at the time and I wouldn’t trade that memory for anything this world has to offer in these modern times. Memories like these grip my heart strings and gently tug at them bringing tears to my eyes.

TITLE: Depression may shut down the brain’s ability to make new neurons

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260823094135.htm

A major study found that adults with depression show disrupted production of new neurons in the hippocampus, potentially weakening the brain’s ability to separate new experiences from painful memories. The researchers also identified broad molecular changes that could open the door to new treatments tailored to different biological forms of depression.

Old flame, or: Call me back

A pantoum

She blows again. The flame stays lit.
“Sunny,” the little candle says.
Her mouth goes still around the name.
“You used to turn when people called.”

“Sunny,” the little candle says.
“That girl is gone. Don’t call her back.”
“You used to turn when people called.”
“I stopped answering long ago.”

“That girl is gone. Don’t call her back.”
“Then why do you still know her name?”
“I stopped answering long ago.”
“But something in you answered me.”

“Then why do you still know her name?”
“I tried to leave her far behind.”
“But something in you answered me.”
“Perhaps she never really left.”

“I tried to leave her far behind.”
Her mouth goes still around the name.
“Perhaps she never really left.”
She blows again. The flame stays lit.  

W3 poetry prompt

For this week’s W3, Judy invites us to write a poem in which an old woman tries to blow out the candles on her birthday cake, but one remains lit and whispers a name she has not heard in forty years. The poem takes the form of her conversation with the candle and ends with her deciding whether to let it keep burning or put it out.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

I participated in a corn roast festival today, and it was full of fun, laughter, and good vibes. 🌽🔥

Taking pictures was not allowed, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. 😂

A sunset scene in the West viewed the the windows of coach seating on the Amtrak Southwest Chief bound for Chicago from Riverside, CA.

Musical Interlude: I heard some reference to this song today, and I hadn't heard it in YEARS. I remember it playing a lot in my childhood, and my dad being fond of it, but it's rarely heard now.

"Behind Closed Doors," performed by Charlie Rich.

Fond #memories of the #Ottawa River from years ago:

I fell completely upside down out of a #raft in the middle of a big rapid, head in the water, feet above ....

And somehow found the strap at the back of the boat with my ankle, kicked into it, and swept my #paddle down behind me as we crested the next wave.

Managed to hold on with just my ankle and toss myself back into the boat.

I knew I would never be able to top that.

So the second day of school in #1998 began with an about face, trudging back down the hill, across the street to the bus stop, and going home to figure out what to do with this unexpected #snow day.

(Reader, it was Jackie Brown in the theater, in an increasingly #deserted downtown.)

And there was a little bit of #adventure in the air, suited up to mount the snow banks and the Metro there and back. But it was as the afternoon wore on that the #survival #instincts kicked in.

#memories #climate

so close, and yet so

so close, and yet so 
far – sometimes, home is on the 
other side of the 

planet and then again, just 
underneath our eyelids, waiting

I love Lentils. I have said it many time before, but I really enjoyed eating them. With rice, with bread, in soup, I salad, it's always a good addition to my daily meals.

I remember when I was student in Sweden, I used to make lentil soup (عدسی - Adasi in farsi), because of my childhood memories, coming home from school during cold winter days of Tehran and having a bowl of lentils with rice, or fresh Barbari bread from our local bakery, were some of favorite memories.

When my parents came to visit and I made lentil for them and said why, my mother laughed out loud. She said that she was making lentils in the winter mostly because she would run out of money before Iranian new year and had to make cheap food to manage. That was her only reason to make it in the winter!

But, it sure created lasting memories for me to enjoy it through the years, and I have thought my daughters to cook it "Iranian way" and they both really enjoying it too.

Treading Lightly: Memories of a Glass Child

https://dreamspacestudio.net/treading-lightly-memories-of-a-glass-child/

when I was a kid I remember there was this "Etiquette for Ladies" TV show that would come on after The Price is Right when I was at my nanny's (my mom's stepmom) house

my weird little autistic trans girl brain treated that like gospel

I tried so hard to be a perfect little lady

and I couldn't figure out why it didn't make my mom happy

she's always very lady-like, I thought she'd like it

so I assumed I was just doing it wrong, or not good enough

I tried even harder, and eventually that "be lady-like" became one of the self-critical voices in my head

I still feel gross when I do something "unladylike" and it's weird

Tempted to just switch off for a bit? I once did that in a very drastic way.

I was a young journalist trainee, tired from work. Some free days in the end of April: a news-free period. I vowed not to read the papers, listen to the radio, or watch the news on TV. I switched off radically. Took a walk in the rain - that rain. https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/aadc1a14-82af-4df4-9153-12b4b6ed0001

I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

I'll #say this.

All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.

I am writing an open letter to the #fediverse #administration and #moderation community, because you need to keep a few things in mind.

Lately I have started noticing some #fediverse #relays disable this instance in the server logs.

It seems like #censorship is alive and well. Whether it be #language or #geography based.

I will say this once.

I have no issue at all with #international content. In fact I encourage it. And I am working on a #translation enabled client for #Mastodon to release as #open #source #software, so that anyone can interact with any #ActivityPub #server out there, to not exclude entire swaths of #audience reach, that would and currently still is, isolated by regional and not human #diversity as such.

To be clear. I do not want to #expose #racism to the world. I want to move beyond that, to create ways by which #inclusive dialog can transcend #world #borders few want you to never forget.

To do that, we will at some point or other have to talk about some concepts that would otherwise never find common resolution in the mind of the everyday person. And I am open to hosting that.

I simply want to put our humanity first, the way the open #internet prior to any concept of #weaponization, was designed to build conceptually. Before bots, automation and spam ruined the experience of the pre-web 2.0 internet. To the point where marking anything as either or, gets you silenced before you remember you once weren't.

Speaking on a personal level, I make mistakes in my ability to just post before I #think about things. I cannot premoderate everything I say to the point where it comes across as neutral or distant, as if I never bothered to go through the experience. And I admit I am and can be at #fault for that. But what I cannot #apologize for, is why I #feel the way I do. In order to clear my #mind my #head, and my #heart for better #times and #memories I can more clearly #focus on. And this is what #inspires me to keep things moving along such a trajectory.

I can't be #positive or #negative all the time. I will just be #real, and let the #moment pass. In #trust that you're with me for whatever part of that #journey comes our way.

I do'nt want us separated by preventable alternatives that bring us closer together. That is my ultimate #purpose as to why I am making this post.

With this in mind, I myself have a tendency to be the only one posting on this server...but if you want to join us, and speak in your own language or talk about issues that matter to you...then by all means, go for it.

I am doing the same here, not to get attention, but to find #community so we can bond over things held in common, not broken by common disinterest. And I have largely been very #successful at this both on other platforms, and by sticking to topics at hand in more traditional forums.

The truth of the matter, is that we have a critical shortage of relays in the fediverse active at any one time. Until recently we have been fortunate here at #MediaNexus to have over 70 enabled instances, this has dropped since to the late 60's since reports started coming in criticizing just one post about the #war I have made, calling out a commentator for their views.

We can't always #agree on things. But we can ensure that we stand for the principle of an agreement not to break down over the disagreements of a few people, who just can't get along no matter how you approach them.

Guys, we need #decentralized #media now more so than ever before. It is not about monitoring for dangerous opinions. I don't want to live in an echo chamber. IF that's what you want, then I suggest you visit #BlueSky for that.

And so this is not about what I want. I have no #agenda to share. Just a simple message. Layered in #truth and #growth of either #awareness or #news that isn't 100% reliant on one person's understanding to be amplified by 1000000 more as their own, holey so.

In part, while we live in an age of alternate #information being so readily available. Even about the same exact #post generating different #analysis by whoever is looking at it from multiple perspectives. We cannot mix #facts with #fiction where #events count objectively.

Losing access to one #relay especially using platforms like #pleroma and #mastodon, potentially means dozens of your available #updates as your #content gets published, cannot be seen. And, I am asking on behalf of all #sane server owners out there, to stand in solidarity with one another for the sake of our continuity. So that one link in our chain, does not and cannot cripple its #functionality anymore. To the point where nodes are centralized around #ideals not #ideas in turn.

Please, mention me in any #disagreement you may have. We are #humans not #bots at the end of the day. And a lot of us pay really good #money to #hosting companies to be able to critically customize our experience on the deecentralized web. Myself included.

We don't do that because it's cool. We do that, because we trust in all of you to uphold this #principle of our continuity as a whole. At the federation, relay, server instance, and user level.

Media Nexus is very young. And I have only managed to get 5 people to sign up because of the common culture I would otherwise not have been able to share as we explore the world we each live in collectively.

As an #important #introduction to the wider reach of independent blogs and forums, I started this server, not to compete with others, but to ensure that we treat this entire medium of #communication like a single #torrent in great health.

I have no interest by and large, in running a #social #media company for the sake of establishing a #network of random people who otherwise have nothing in common accept liking the interface by which we share are thoughts with one another. Although I will admit that's half the fun in making this possible.

In order for us to #work together, I have to imagine we already are doing so even if we never met in person.

Due to the abundant use of platforms widely available for #engagement of various purposes, all I can offer you, is access to someone who puts humanity first. Not by trend, but by principle. That's not just me, that's all of you that believe we are stronger together. Posting just as you do, for being all that you are, where ever your sense of community feels most comfortable belonging there.

No matter who reads this letter, I #support you in all that you do, even if there are times where we have to talk about why we matter to one another. The fact that it can happen at all, is a #miracle I will always #cherish and #embrace while I am alive on this Earth. Because everyone, even you, play a part in our experience in this way. And I wouldn't trade or exchange that for anything.

I #love you for the #person you are, as you become involved in your journey of #life here. And likewise, appreciate you for caring about your place in our world. And as I said above, I only wish for us to find common ground on things we in turn find interesting enough to boost, favorite, and reply to. Whether that's a poll, a photo, or a news article.

I know this post is getting quite long. But there are #reasons why I have to personally speak up about this. As someone who only started their journey on any kind of federated platform let alone hosting one at the beginning of March of this year, following the #tech news of very unsettling feedback. I cannot in good #faith abandon the #philosophy of things that go #viral, because they're #genuine and #free enough to be #authentic and original. And to me, it absolutely #matters that we remember how to #teach this to our #friends and #family as a whole. Less we forget how to #remember our meaning in a world we can still #save from the #absence of all that brings our #presence into #power in turn.

It starts with the #recognition that to deny anyone based on the #group of a sub culture someone belongs to, is a slippery slope of a #sincere and #honest diversion I cannot support.

Thank you for your #attention to this matter.

If this #resonates with you, or even if it does not, let me know.

Yours with warm #appreciation and #gratitude abounding,

Elshara Silverheart
