I will donate. Other people should too. You feel like this isn't important like food and housing. Let me remind you that community is really priceless these days, And the fediverse allows community over distance. ;)
Thank you very much for the support, very grateful! 🙏 The donations make a huge difference in keeping all the sites and accounts going.
Just to add though, obviously people should only give if they can spare the money! A lot of people are struggling nowadays, and totally understand if people can't spare anything.
The “warrior cop” who demands special deference for risking his life because he got within ten yards of a fentanyl bag now seems like a precursor of the U.S. Navy “warrior” who claims that some guys that might’ve had cocaine on a speedboat were such a military threat that he had to use deadly force.

To curb the illicit drugs trade, law enforcement should look beyond individual drug busts and focus on capturing the illegal money that reaches so many parts of the global economy.
The first 100 pages of my next book are done, tomorrow the quest continues. My proofreader has the manuscript overnight so I will see any typos in the morning (time zones have their uses!) #author #writing
I live on a ranch in the country with all kinds of wild animals running around at night. You get used to the sights, sounds, and smells of nature.
One day a couple of years ago I was walking a street in downtown San Francisco when I was struck by an aroma. I turned to my wife and said “I smell a skunk!” It took just a moment for me to realize that I was actually smelling some passerby smoking cannabis. Just a normal urban occurrence.
Last night my wife and I watched on TV the new movie One Battle After Another. During one scene actor Leo DiCaprio smoked a joint. Then he smoked another one.

After a moment of stunned unbelieving silence we realized that the nearby front door was slightly ajar and one of our neighborhood skunks had—as they occasionally do—just walked right by it. But for just a few seconds we thought that Netflix had introduced Smell-O-Vision (TM)! Outside, the skunk smell was overpowering, but inside there was just enough seepage to give the effect of DiCaprio’s weed.
you know, I read last week that researches have effectively induced sensations of scent in human subjects using ultrasound waves (angled through a padded plate positioned between the eyes and aimed at the olfactory nerve). different frequencies induced different scents and scent-sensations, including a campfire, fresh air, garbage, and others. I think smellovision may be closer than we realise!

In the original catalog, it was in the category: Amorphous galaxies - Associated rings. The clumpy ring in the galaxy on the right likely formed when the companion galaxy to the left crashed through its center.
I’m actually a technical writer by trade; I thought it would be a great idea to share a simple Notebook Navigator users’ guide for people who want a quick and easy way to get started with the plug-in.
This is a work-in-progress, but what’s available here would help you get started with Notebook Navigator quickly. I’m open to suggestions for improvement (do leave a comment below).
Notebook Navigator changes how you view your Obsidian vault. Instead of a simple list of folders and file, it gives you a visual, two-pane interface similar to apps like Apple Notes or Evernote. Why use it?
Visual browsing: See the first few lines of your notes (and even images) before you open them. This makes finding the right note easier than just reading filenames.
Better organization: Navigate using Folders OR Tags side-by-side. You can colour-code your folders and add icons to make them stand out.
How Notebook Navigator improves on the standard Obsidian file view:
Pin any note, folder, or tag to the top of the list for instant access.
Preview thefirst few lines of text for each note, so you know what is inside without opening it.
Display images on your note cards, turning your list into a visual gallery.
Folders and Tags are brought together in one sidebar for ease of navigation.
Search inside a specific folder.
Colour-code and assign custom icons to notes to make them stand out visually.
Drag and drop a note in the order you want.
Quick start guide
Follow these steps to get Notebook Navigator running in under 5 minutes.
1. Installing Notebook Navigator
Open Obsidian settings > Community Plugins. Turn off “Restricted Mode” if it is on. (See Toolbar buttons guide for more information.)
Click Browse and search for “Notebook Navigator”.
Click Install and then Enable.
2. Activating the Navigator
Once enabled, you will see a new “Notebook” icon in your left ribbon sidebar.
Click the icon to open the Notebook Navigator view.
It will replace your standard file explorer with the new two-pane view.
Tip: If you don’t see the two-pane view, widen the left sidebar.
Basic setup tips
Adjust the view: You can drag the divider line between the folders and the note list to see more text.
Pin important items: Right-click any important folder or tag and select Pin. This keeps it at the top of your list for quick access.
Keyboard navigation: You don’t need a mouse. Use your Arrow Keys to move up and down. Press Tab to switch between the folder list and the note list.
Next steps:
Read the User Guides to really master the key features of Notebook Navigator.
Read the FAQs to get your answers to commonly asked questions.
Notebook Navigator: The User Guides
The following guides will help you understand how to use Notebook Navigator’s features.
Switching from “list” to “card” view
Pre-requisites: If you want to see images on these cards, install the “Featured Image” plugin from the Obsidian community store.
By default, files can be viewed as cards. Here is how to change them into a list.
On the second pane, click on the paint palette icon.
Click Slim.
To change back to the card view, click on the paint palette icon (🎨) > Default.
You can select the card or “slim” list view as the default view in Notebook Navigator’s settings.
How to pin your favourite notes
Stop searching for the same note every day. Pin it to the top. Note: You can pin more than one note.
Right click at the note.
Select Pin note.
Look at the very top of the second pane on the left. You will see a red pin icon. Your pinned items are below it.
Note: Curiously, the pinned items will disappear when you go to the folder level.
How to add a shortcut to your notes or folders
Right click at the note or folder.
Select Add to shortcuts.
Your notes or folder will now be below the Shortcuts icon for quick access.
Using Tags and Folders
Notebook Navigator puts your Folders and Tags in the same menu. This helps you organize notes quickly.
To Browse: Click a folder to see files by location. Click a Tag (like #ideas) to see files by topic.
To Organize:
Click and hold a note card from the right side.
Drag the note over to a Tag in the left sidebar.
Drop it.
The note now has that tag added to it automatically!
Changing icons and colour-coding your folders and notes
Make your important folders stand out instantly with colours and icons.
Right-click on any Folder, Note or Tag in the left sidebar.
To change color: Select Change Color. Pick a color (like Red for “Urgent”).
To change icon: Select Change Icon. Type a word like “Home” or “Work” to find a matching symbol.
How to manually sort your notes
Sometimes you don’t want notes or folders sorted by date. You want them in a specific order.
Click the Reorder icon at the top of the left sidebar.
Click and hold any note or folder.
Drag it up or down to place it exactly where you want it.
Searching the contents of your notes
By default, the search bar looks at file names. If you want to find a word written inside a note, follow these steps:
Install the “Omnisearch” plugin from the Obsidian community store.
Go to Settings > Notebook Navigator.
Go to Search & Hot Keys tab and under Search, click on the drop down menu.
Select “Omnisearch”.
Searching inside a specific folder
If you type in the main Obsidian search bar, you get results from everywhere. Here is how to search just one area.
Click the Folder or Tag you want to search (e.g., “Recipes”).
Click the Magnifying Glass icon at the top of the note list.
Type your keyword (e.g., “Chicken”).
The list will only show notes inside “Recipes” that match your word.
Note: If you see zero results, check the “Filter” icon at the top. Make sure “Include Subfolders” is turned ON.
