I’m giving @tg’s Current a solid go to switch the way I read my 50ish RSS feeds from “get unread count to 0” to “does this interest me now, or at least until it expires its currency”.
After a short (<30 minutes) effort to bring my imported feeds from @NetNewsWire to a state that reflected what I wanted to move ahead with unread, it really does feel less demanding. I like it and will see if I can persist; it does require something of a change in mindset.
Also, if you haven’t read Terry’s essay The Boring Internet, I recommend it highly - https://www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-internet

CW: New introduction!
#introduction: I'm a dual Canadian-American living in Mi'kma'ki | Nova Scotia.
I #write #sciencefiction and #poetry. I own small press Upper Rubber Boot Books, best known for publishing the first English-language anthology of #solarpunk, Sunvault. My first novel, Aether and Ego, a space fantasy retelling of Pride and Prejudice, will be released 15 September 2026 - see the linktree on my profile for ordering links.
People who are #VeryOnline might also know me from #MetaFilter.
I'm here to talk about everything but mostly to share small press books.

CW: New introduction!
New #introduction since I just realized I never did this after I moved.
I'm a dual Canadian-American living in #Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (Punamu’kwati’jk, part of Mi'kma'ki), formerly of #Nashville (Tsalaguwetiyi).
I was an executive-level secretary for the past 28 years, but now I am a full-time #writer of #ScienceFiction, #steampunk, #solarpunk, and #poetry. I own Upper Rubber Boot Books, a small press on permanent hiatus which is best known for publishing the first English-language anthology of solarpunk, Sunvault (which is the reason I haven't shut the business down, just so it can stay in print).
I'm here to talk about everything but mostly #AmWriting, #climate, #USpoli, #hiking, and the stuff hashtagged above. People who are #VeryOnline might also know me from #MetaFilter.

You say “staring at screens all day” like it’s a bad thing.

CW: New instance introduction!
New #introduction since I just moved to a new instance.
I'm a dual Canadian-American living in #Nashville / #Tsalaguwetiyi. By day I administer a medical department at a local hospital, and in my spare time I #write #ScienceFiction, #solarpunk, and #poetry, #hike, watch the #deer in my backyard, and paint a #mural of a fantasy forest in my bedroom while listening to audiobooks.
I also own Upper Rubber Boot Books, a small press on (probably permanent) hiatus. People who are #VeryOnline might also know me from #MetaFilter.
