I’m going to try migrating to Hoosier.social. I’m interested in the possibilities of a local Mastodon community that’s actually, y’know, local, and hoping that being on that server will make it easier to find people in-state. If it works like it should, nobody I follow should notice a difference, since I’ll still be following you, but if anything looks different about my replies, that’ll be why.

@thekitmalone Even Trump isn’t about Trump, really. That old fool, repulsive though he is, is neither the brains nor the money behind his own success. The forces that put him there aren’t going away when he does.

@thekitmalone I am the dumbest person ever for brainstorming about such things, but whatever you build will be great and I’ll be grateful for it.

(And also I’m not actually on your instance. But perhaps I should be.)

The rabbit, having eaten his fill of Mere Christianity, has moved on to The Four Loves. We’re so Christian around here that even the animals love C.S. Lewis.

An extremely fluffy Lionhead rabbit sits on a copy of CS Lewis’s The Four Loves, with a de-covered and nibbled copy of Mere Christianity next to him.

@kjw810 Welcome Kelly! I’m from Ohio too, but I’m an invasive species in Indiana now.

@JulieB your way is much more fun than the common way

2023-12-23

@LRRRonEarth why, thank you! But yes, we need some kind of superior life form to whip us into shape.

@LRRRonEarth Guess it didn’t link to the thread right. Pitiful Terrans can’t even figure out how to reply to a thread.

Apple has spent untold millions developing 3D goggles when they could have been working on this.

@tristansnell Five acknowledged children, you mean. Hard to get stats on the rest.

@JulieB Hey, barely related to your point, but I’ve noticed several times lately how your writing reminds me of Cole Arthur Riley’s book This Here Flesh, which I’m halfway through. If by any chance you haven’t already read it, I think you’d love her.

Also, thank you for your writing here; you’re one of the reasons I keep getting on Mastodon.

@twizzt Looks like the Deevil weevil to me!

@zcobb Welcome Lola! There’s no tweeting to inflame your bird-hunting instincts over here, just melodious pachyderm toots.

2023-12-10

@timamor I imagine that if I toot without love, I’m probably an off-key trombone or possibly a tuba?

@Big_Diggity The Neapolitan one! I saw that last year! Amazing, right?

@caracabe I loved that book as a teenager. Wish you were wrong about it.

@thekitmalone @dragondaddy What is that wood? It’s so pink, it looks like the fox is carved out of some kind of lunch meat! Of course, I only say that because I’m jealous of the skills involved.
