When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM

"The quilt's a ragtag syzygy
of everything I've been or done,
a knotted spell in every seam,
the stuff that pricks and pulls."

I think I've read it four times already, just perfect, no notes. How does one go about the rest of their day after this?? 😅

@ccrebolder This is why I love transcribing work like this. You get to spend that extra time with the words, as well as reveling in the poem's structure and other intriguing features.

♥️ I used to do this, I still have the book somewhere; should maybe take it up again...

@ccrebolder Oh, I hope you do. It's such a nice way to spend time with poetry, as you already know. Whenever I fill a notebook, I gift it to a bookish friend and start another one ...

@ccrebolder
I appreciate seeing how others too build personal rituals around poetry. I have taken to consulting poetry when I feel uninspired, particularly first thing in the morning when the social media stream often derailed me before I even got going. I never kept a poetry notebook -- I'm a talker. (Abstract painting began as counterbalance to my verbal fixations.) I include poetry reading within my live video streams. Poetry helps me. Thank you for this one.

@RMiddleton @ccrebolder You're very welcome, Rob. I'm glad to hear poetry is part of your regular routine, and a counterbalance to what the world gets ready to throw at us every morning ...

Okay. If you are trans and expect to not get anything for the winter gift giving holidays or if your partner or child is in that position and you want to get them something from my shop, please read the thread. blob.love/@nora/11340859959737…



#Hezbollah: In the framework of the Khyber operation series and with a call from you Nasrallah, this morning we targeted the Palmachim air base (including the military research center and the Hatz radar system) in the south of Tel Aviv with strike drones. And we made its goals precise.

any one know the name of the rock the 'comedian' who made the Puerto Rico / Garbage Island joke is hiding under?

Wouldn't it be funny if Puerto Ricans managed to flip Florida 😄


How is it that I can post the same post on Mastodon and Twitter and my Mastodon post gets 12× the engagement? I have less than half the followers on the fediverse, too.

I noticed a higher (perceived) #engagement as well. Honestly, I'm having a much nicer #experience on #Mastodon than I every had on #Twitter, even before it's fall from grace.

everything others have said, plus a higher concentration of like-minded, subject-interested people.

A Call to the Wild

Here is the image of a killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), that I saw not too long ago.

"Killdeer get their name from the shrill, wailing kill-deer call they give so often. Eighteenth-century naturalists also noticed how noisy Killdeer are, giving them names such as the Chattering Plover and the Noisy Plover." - allaboutbirds.org

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

Take a look:
