Does anyone here know of any apps which gives user-definable flashcards which they can use to disclose access needs like "I've become non-verbal, please type with me" etc? A friend used to have one but can't find it now.

We know of Stickman Communication cards, but this friend is looking for an app. Any genuine ideas welcomed.

Just catching up with #LongLostFamily and something that struck me is that everyone talks about siblings.
Never really hear people talk about brothers and sisters.
I know siblings is correct terminology, but it sounds/seems so impersonal!
Don't know where I'm going with this just thoughts after a couple of glasses of wine!
Have a good weekend everybody.

And when morning came her knights showed her the QUOTES that covered the fields, huge white blocks that blocked the view. And they told her the QUOTES were rooted deep in the ground and they could not be removed. And our Lady Joan Mastodon wept for three days and three nights. Then she rose and stood in front of her knights and spoke thus: We shall not quote, she said to them. We shall reply and we shall boost, but we shall not quote. We will pass by the QUOTES that cover our fields, we will plant trees around them, we will toot freely to each other as we always did, in direct exchange between one free tooter and another, never blocking the other's voice. Having spoken thus, she rode away. And as she passed the first of the QUOTES, her knights heard her laughing, a free, roaring laughter. That is our Lady Joan, they said to each other. Let us toot as she asked us to. Let us plant trees around the QUOTES.

The word 'quoot' is very coot.
I find it useful in two other ways: translating when the original is in another language - this might include adding context where necessary, actually. And sharing beyond what can be federated (Friendica federates with Diaspora and Mastodon, but they don't federate with each other).

On my walk around the local nature reserve this morning, I saw a lot of wind fallen pears, I was going to call them crab pears, but apparently crab pears are very similar in looks to crab apples.
I didn't pick any of the windfalls up, as they are very hard and bitter to taste (tried this a couple of years ago!)

Okay since the Fedi guppy groups are gone and the new groups are still very small, I'm doing a new #introduction

I'm Mar, a future SFF and #historicalfiction indie author who reads Arabic, Chinese, English and French. I post a lot about #medieval #history and the books that I'm writing.

I also have a blog that I sometimes post on for longer historical musings.

I know about @histodons and @militaryhistory and am looking to #follow more historical and writer accounts.

Boosts are appreciated.

People who keep saying "We can't put the toothpaste back in the tube" in regards to AI - Why? Because of economics? Slavery and child labour were both incredibly good for the people who used them, and we put BOTH OF THOSE back in the tube. Non-greed based decisions are possible.

Zealots gather round
and get your political
hyperbole on

Today's game
is pin the blame
not on the murderous
psycho terrorist
but instead we deflect
toward the extreme elements
from the other side
who like us
anointed influencers
use flammable
hateful rhetoric
for wealth and fame
to skewer
our pissed off opposition

Just like the poor bastard
who got wasted
for nothing more
than angry words
that killer social outcasts
who roll unhinged
take literally

Sticks and stones my ass
