Your chart is ready, and can be found here:

solipsys.co.uk/Chartodon/11571…

Things may have changed since I started compiling that, and some things may have been inaccessible.

In particular, the very nature of the fediverse means some toots may never have made it to my instance, in which case I can't see them, and can't include them.

The chart will eventually be deleted, so if you'd like to keep it, make sure you download a copy.



to say that it’s a fallen world is optimistic. it suggests the world is not still falling.

#MiniReview #Movies Despite being seemingly written by a 15 year old boy subscribed to the Joe Rogan podcast, Freakier Friday (2025) still manages to provide a good time thanks to a stellar performance by Jamie Lee Curtis. Once you leave plot considerations behind, it’s a joy to see the actual actors simply having fun. #MiniReview

There are movies you watch just for the pleasure of seeing one actor.
Jamie Lee Curtis is definitely one of them.


Immemorialised

So many names, each
a life, forgotten, consigned
to oblivion;
all, whose epitaph exists
in Time's silent memory.
