Here’s What I Have To Say

  • Settling in… and customizing my space….

    I’m slowly organizing social content I follow into lists so I can filter out some categories from my main timeline one Mastodon/etc. and Bluesky. Ultimately I want this to be about connections and not performance/clicks/whatever.

    Bf and I were just discussing the “old” (pre-algorithmic money vacuum) internet and RSS feeds. (Younger, so puzzlement.. LOL)

    Un-ringing the engagement bell is going to take time (and patience) but a start is the non-algorithmic social web, including the various permutations of ActivityPub, RSS, Webmentions and more… some of which I’m reacquainting myself with as I go.

    It just feels even more pressing as our major platforms and mainstream media control what, collectively, we get to know.

    So this place is going to be about this experience of our society and….. well…. all of this.

    I can’t promise more than writing here when I feel like I have something to say. Random posts on social media will likely continue unabated.

    Anyway, if you’re reading this far… thanks. Lemme know. 🙂

  • Texting WP-XP

    Just trying this out again with some config changes. Will it work or will it look stupid?

    Love this photo from a Hawthorne Heights show a few years back, with a Duotone filter on it. Neat, huh?

  • More on School Pizza

    Oh hey… here’s the official recipe for school pizza from USDA.

    You know I’m going to make this someday! Now I just need to find Sealtest chocolate milk!

    School Lunch Cheese Pizza from TastingHistory.com

  • Pizza and Chocolate Milk

  • Snow-day Chili without the Snow

    I decided to make chili today because we were expecting a bit of cold, we misery in the form of a sleety/snowy mess. This has not materialized here in Maryland, but the chili has been in the slow cooker for hours and is literally driving me crazy with how good it smells. J is about to put cornbread into the oven, so we’re gonna eat good!

  • Feckless Fools

    It’s so amazing (MADDENING) the lack of reaction we’re observing from the people who swore an oath in the face of a branch of government going rogue.

    Also: not at all surprised at the fecklessness.
