All 20 hostages have been released 🎗 Finally some good news 🙏💛 #israel #bringthemhome

TIL that the oldest recorded cat name was an Egyptian cat from the period of Thutmose III (1479-1425 BC) called Nedjem (meaning "sweet" or "pleasant") who was found in the tomb of a nobleman named Puimre 🐱

English teachers: don't use the word "and" too many times in a sentence. Tolkien: I think I'll write a sentence that uses "and" 20 times. #Akallabeth #tolkien

[antisemitic terrorism] Two people dead after a terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester 💔 https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cx2703lnww4t This is what "globalize the intifada" really means 😡 Never Again is now, fuck antisemitism.

90% of my feed are people posting about / sharing pictures of their art or craft projects, homegrown vegetables or wildlife encounters (mostly birds, bugs and moths) and I love every single one of these posts. Reading about (and getting inspired by) the awesome shit people are up to or the […]

In 2011, Aaron Swartz was arrested after he downloaded millions of academic journal articles from JSTOR via the MIT network. He was charged under federal laws (including wire fraud and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act) with up to 13 felony counts, carrying the possibility of […]

Can anyone point me to some good essays on the consequences of replacing public spaces with corporate-owned spaces, such as the replacement of main street shops with shopping malls and supermarkets? #urbanism #freespeech #publicgood

I am delighted to be able to report: I haz coffee :blobfoxcofe:

I’m the world’s slowest dot matrix printer

TIL that the words cosmos and cosmetics have a shared etymology from the Greek word kosmos = "order, good order, orderly arrangement". Language is so frigging awesome and etymology is one of my favourite rabbit holes to get lost in :blobfoxnerd:

This. Is. Brilliant!

Some nice asmr and a cup of matcha latte for getting some more work done before the weekend begins :blobcat_coffee:

Forgive me for sounding like an extremist, but if the purpose of society isn't to house, feed, and care for its members, what the fuck is the purpose?

Went for a short dog walk in the rain (short because Blue hates rain) and came across this little fella 🔥🦎

Re: Stardew Valley Just got the letter from Pierre telling me he's now selling bouquets, so I'm starting to think about who I should romance 💐 I'm thinking maybe Leah or Maru. I've also considered Emily, she seems like a fun little weirdo but also I wonder if she's the kind of person who thinks […]

Just made this picture of a leaf, look at all the details :blobcatnomplant: :blobcatthinkowo:

An important reminder from F.D Signifier

It is now safe to put on your Mittentosh

Fediverse! I need some help! I have a fellowship to go to Aotearoa New Zealand for a few weeks, and also an offer of an additional fellowship to give lectures around NZ. This is INCREDIBLY EXCITING!! ...but I have a lot of animals! And it's going to be […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Apropos of nothing at all, there’s a really helpful yt-dlp frontend called Stacher that makes it easy to download videos from YouTube and some other streaming sources for local backup. Works on Linux, MacOS, and Windows! https://stacher.io/

I've once again become hyperfixated on Ada Rook's music :blobcat_party: Going through her discography is such a rollercoaster ride, I've never encountered an artist with such a wide stylistic range before. On the one end of the spectrum there's soft and kinda dreamy melancholic songs like this […]

Feeling kinda blah today but I'm gonna put on some lofi now and probably do some journaling - that usually helps.

Poor pupper can't seem to catch a break... Since the anaplasmosis back in July had caused her pancreas to become inflamed, we had to stop giving her her special urinary food a couple because it contained too much fat. This caused her bladder problems to flare up again and the anti-inflammatory […]

Anyone has any idea how to fix this? I can no longer watch videos on Amazon Prime. I can hear the sound but there's no video, just black. I tried it on both Firefox and Librewolf, same problem. OS is Linux Mint, in case that's relevant. Boosts are appreciated. Thank you!

Also, hi. I haven't been around much lately. I hope everyone is doing well 🫶

I started listening to a new podcast: Ologies with Alie Ward. The first episode I picked was "Horology" - the study of time and timekeeping - a 50 min. conversation with a watchmaker. And holy shit I think I only now became fully aware of what miraculous works of technology, skill and art […]
