Out today: "We start with candidates that are not known enough and therefore they struggle to get known enough to win. When you think about the fact that this election is taking place in 11 months or so—this is a lot of territory to cover in that amount of time." texasobserver.org/jasmine-croc…

Nahaufnahme eines Gesichtes und der oberen Brust, das im Dunkeln beleuchtet ist. Die Haut ist dunkel und mit Texturen bedeckt, die an Schmutz oder Abfall erinnern, und weist Bereiche auf, die möglicherweise Wunden oder Verfärbungen darstellen. Die Augen sind offen und blicken direkt in die Kamera. Über dem Kopf befinden sich mehrere helle, unscharfe Lichtquellen. Die Person hat einen dichten Bart und Haare, und der Ausdruck deutet auf Intensität oder Aufruhr hin.

Just because the ruling class is "technically" a part of a marginalized community, it doesn't absolve them of their shitty behavior.

I made a little.box for a secret Santa exchange at my #ModernQuilt guild meet this Thursday for this first day in the #ArtAdventCalender. It is from the Bitsy Box pattern by Bodobo Bags. I used my hand- dyed fabric scraps and a random pink floral for the lining.


Some flaws in our system of identifying our manuscripts by an abbreviated form of the language have turned up over the years.


These two knit pieces are based on a drawing one of my sons made. He asked for a hat & scarf based on a creepy/scary GIR-inspired creature (GIR, the character from Invader Zim) that he drew in eary 2016. He lost both at college though and I haven't seen them since. :bugcatcry:

Needless to say, he's been on my "Not Knit-worthy" list since then. Maybe one day I'll knit something new for him if he asks.

Gute Nacht, Valheim!

Did an absolutely insane silver ore run with @Moni . It took two carts to get it all off the mountain and to the shore.

And then we needed two longships to sail it all home...

I definitely see silver swords and draugr fang in our future!

On est en train de faire une app @yunohost pour @umap avec @ybon

Est-ce qu'il y aura des personnes intéressées pour tester une fois un peu stabilisé ? 👋

Super !

Donnez-moi l'identifiant du compte qui fera le transfert du dépôt et j'enverrai une invitation pour rejoindre l'organisation YunoHost-Apps. Les droits en écriture sont conservés lors du transfert, mais n'hésitez pas à passer nous dire bonjour ou demander de l'aide sur Matrix dans le canal dédié au packaging (matrix.to/#/#yunohost-apps:mat…).

Pour tester l'app, il faudra créer une branche `testing`, y ouvrir une PR vers `main`, et invoquer la CI avec le mot magique `!testme`.

in reply to YunoHost

Le dépôt préexistant a simplement été renommé en `umap_old_ynh` avant une probable future suppression.

Je (tituspijean) me chargerai de raviver l'app dans le catalogue si les tests sont au vert.



This will be the second Christmas since my father's death. I know grief is unpredictable, but I'm missing him more this year.

I suspect this was at least partly triggered by coming across paperwork I've kept which has his handwriting on it, and walking past the wonderful cheese shop where I used to get a selection to include in the hamper we put together every year for him to enjoy.

It is so often the small things, the things that we didn't really think about that much, they find us. Such things never go away, and I am glad for that.
in reply to Linda Sgoluppi Artist

@lindasgoluppiart I take comfort from the thought nobody has gone until the ripples they created in the world have faded away



When you wonder how we could descend so quickly into darker and darker forms of #fascism when we have come so far, consider, the same amount of time has passed between:

1945-1985

&

1985-2025

It's the same struggle. It never ended. Fascism was not defeated after WWII, it was simply transformed.

The US never properly punished the losers of the Civil War or definitively denounced the behavior of the South, and here we are.
in reply to Lily Star

@starlily I don't want to minimize this in the slightest, because you're not wrong at all, and I'm simply adding to your point, not arguing against it. but what you mention is also a continuation of a cycle of colonization, violence, and domination that reaches back into time immemorial. We inherit a world built on the tangled and fierce web of kyriarchy.
in reply to 🌈Lucy🏳️‍⚧️ | Revoluciana

fascism was not defeated - it was hired by the USA and the Soviet Union (and others). There was no denazification, sadly.

I have a very set evening routine just now, who am I kidding, I have a set routine all the damn time. Anyway, in the evening, I like to curl up with a cuppa and watch some silly stuff which doesn't involve me thinking. Since the kettle is boiling anyway, I fill a hot water bottle to put in bed where my feet go. I sleep so much better with that hot water bottle there.

So off I went to do that. Only to discover one of the cats had been sick all over my lovely bedspread. Cleaned that up, impromptu bed change, yay, urgh. While cleaning up, all I could think about was the lovely conversations I have had on here today. Those random conversations have absolutely brightened my day and have left me smiling.

Thank you for being lovely and wonderful, you are all great ❤️
