Still happy to report that nicotine gum worked great for nicotine replacement therapy. It's weird how hard it is to find here (Mercury drug never has it, Watsons has it sometimes, Southstar Drug is the most reliable drugstore to get it) especially since I could never find nicotine patches

I'm fine I just wanted to whine lol

The struggle (of having no nicotine for five days) is real.

Dropbox, I'm trying to finish this chapter, now is NOT the time to act like a little b*tch

Hey fountain pen nerds (affectionate) if you went to the #ManilaPenShow please post your pix with the hashtag so we can see them! Don’t forget the alt text 😉

If, like me, you have literally thousands of ebooks in your library (most of them were freebies from bookbub and stuff your kindle day), you'll need a faster way to backup your ebooks. This is the script I use, it lets you dl 25 at a time

Hey authors, we’re all feeling some kind of way about Amazon right now, so please remember to include the non-Amazon buy links for whatever book of yours you’re promoting.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Today marks the 2-month anniversary of my #selfhosting journey: on Dec 17 I signed up for a VPS and installed #YunoHost https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113667636910565210

I have never felt more empowered, tech-wise, than in the past two months. I set up my own #GoToSocial, #Pixelfed and #Friendica instances. Seeing the label "admin" next to my name always makes me smile.

Today I will sign up for a 2nd VPS (that runs on Ubuntu) and manually install #Ghost. Wish me luck!

Everything is political. This has always been true, but we feel it even more sharply now.

Bringing this highly requested feature to #Mastodon and the fediverse is not as trivial as some might think, but quote posts are coming. Here is our latest write-up about our progress:

Apologies, and my new ink obsession.

An open notebook on which is written in fountain pen with a lovely green gold ink:

I would like to sincerely apologize to the bottle of J. Herbin Vert Olive ink I’ve had in my stash for a while but ignored because I couldn’t read anything I wrote with it until yesterday when I realized I was a dummy and of course you need to use a medium or broad nib to make the letters readable.

This ink is gorgeous, actually. I’m obsessed.

There's just something magical about eggs and toast eaten together. The Korean egg sandwiches are a little more complicated (and yummier) with the sauces and herbs but just plain poached eggs on buttered toast will hit that spot.

Trying out the Openvibe app so I can manage both my mastodon and bluesky account. My first issue is I wish they didn't hide the alt text so hard. I had to actually look for it.

So what is ham exactly?

The image shows the packaging of an "Electric Food Slicer." The box has bold black text at the top that reads "ELECTRIC FOOD SLICER." Below, a label states, "Suitable for slicing various foods." There are four food categories listed with accompanying images: "Meat" (with a picture of sliced red meat), "Potato" (with an image of thin potato slices), "Bread" (with a photo of a sliced loaf), and "Ham" (with an image of thinly sliced pink ham). To the right, there is a partial image of the silver-colored food slicer. The background appears to be a kitchen setting with a wooden countertop.

Whenever I'm stressed I want to create a new Bsky feed.
