  1. A quotation from Orwell

    It is a commonplace that the Christian Heaven, as usually portrayed, would attract nobody. Almost all Christian writers dealing with Heaven either say frankly that it is indescribable or conjure up a vague picture of gold, precious stones, and the endless singing of hymns. This has, it is true, inspired some of the best poems in the world […] but what it could not do was to describe a condition in which the ordinary human being actively wanted to be.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1943-12-20), “Can Socialists Be Happy?” Tribune Newspaper [as John Freeman]

    Giorgia Meloni vorrà accogliere un suggerimento, dal momento che sembrano molto apprezzate le sue piroette, giravolte e acrobazie varie, una volta scrostata dalle pareti della cappella di San Lorenzo in Lucina, potrebbe tornare a indossare le ali.

  6. U2, R.O.K., 1981 on Island Records

    Punny title (you too, are ok or U2 are ok) aside, great early EP for the European market from U2. The live tracks on the b-side are from their appearance at the Paradise in Boston in March 1981 – about 8 years later my freshman dorm room would be a block away.

    This was the first single (“Fire”) from the debut full-length album Boy, though there had been the EP Three and ~5 other singles before this

    My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is from the first pressing for the German marked, pressed by Sonopress in Gütersloh.

  10. K’gari – the world’s largest sand island – boasts a rich mosaic of five ecosystems: rainforests, wallum forests, freshwater lakes and creeks, sand dunes, and coast. 🏝️ youtu.be/N6MG9j7_ht0

    It is easy to see where this island got its name – K’gari is the Butchulla word for “paradise” or “beautiful place” – when exploring the destination's exotic landscapes is like stepping into otherworldly realms.

    just updated my profile with minor changes...

    such as linking to https://ahoxus.org/~cregox#ssl instead of // or http and a comment "non ssl on purpose"... will add next a ssl hash link on the bottom linking to the top "did you miss the top warning?" 🤣

    but anyway, i started this post to #comment on why #ahoxus led to no posts?! pretty sure i did post it at least once.

    in any case, ahoxus.org houses all my projects and the home page needs to get seriously revamped into gemini style.

    here i wanted to name a few of my hustles: #land #paradise #uproot #aloze #abotz #achoz #laundry and the newest one probably here named for the first time #webhome = for name server, basic #tilde hosting, email, and #fediverse of course.

    also, a self public/transparent reminder: i hate how content doesn't get properly versioned, like #writefreely, pleroma profile editing, and hate how pleroma still doesn't work without javascript (as far as i can tell).
