I like Wicca, Kotlin, RPGs, and cats.
I draw poorly and sew chaotically.

Food not CW'ed on this account since it's a food-related instance. Please block or mute if that's better for you.
SO: *Picks up Dark Folklore where it's been sitting on the coffee table since we moved in* I'm going to put this on the bookshelf.
Me: No.
SO: ...I can't tell if you're joking
Me: I'm not joking. It's a coffee table book.
SO: ....
Me: It lives on the coffee table.
SO: *decides to just roll with it* Ok.
I've ordered another book that I'm going to want to use as a coffee table book once I read it, so we'll see if he continues to roll with Book As Decor™️ or if this pushes him over the edge.
Hey, new people, if you join an instance, you're saying you trust your mods to make decisions for you and for your online safety. If you don't feel protected or if you feel like your mod doesn't have your back, you can absolutely switch instances! Big instances are a good starting point, it's where a lot of us got started, but you're going to have a significantly better online experience if you go smaller
HEY HEY FRENZ on mastodon.social! You may want to MOVE to a new instance, very soon.
Why? :sealion:
Mastodon is a bunch of islands that can talk to each other. The smaller and more spread out we are, the easier things are to moderate. Horizontal scaling FTW!
All of you who fled that one site 🐤 ended up at mastodon.social for likely a few reasons. It was obvious, it was big, and it's where you saw a bunch of folks going.
But it has a long history of being poorly moderated, which means a LOT of instances are silencing or blocking it. Which means you're on the big island that SEEMS like it's "where everyone is", but in fact, it's a giant island unto itself (momentarily trending toward turning into a post-bird-site echo chamber), and huge swaths of the Fediverse don't talk to it, or even see it.
If you want the quality of interaction (and moderation!) Mastodon is known for, move thy funky buns to a smaller instance of cool folks you enjoy. :blobcatrainbow:
@ineedtoeatpie mmm, yeah, that would be good, I think.
@ineedtoeatpie I'm from the US midwest, so I thought I'd seen every Cream of {} soup there is, but Cream of Bacon is new to me!
@suegww Handsewing is so slow. If I had to hand-stitch my entire wardrobe like back in the day, I'd just be naked always because I'm so inefficient at it.
@silphium roasting is safe for most squash, tbh. Most veggies, actually.
There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to set up Mastodon.
1. You do not have to sacrifice a duck. Any waterfowl will do.
2. The bit about dancing around naked in a forest glade? While dancing is fun, you may just walk.
3. When the demon appears, you needn’t chant in Latin. It is fluent in all languages.
The rest of the guide is correct.
Going to upload a #caturday classic before the servers get bogged down in more Twitter diaspora. This is how the cat wakes me up when the bottom of the food bowl is visible
@ElsaEats cream of potato, cream of chicken...
Finally had time today to tackle some stalled projects in the garden. Here is the potting soil from the tomatoes, tomatillos and peppers being repurposed for stratifying malus fusca seeds, which is our native crabapple on the west coast. It is supposed to be good rootstock that is drought and standing water tolerant. Next few years I will graft some interesting local wild trees I want to preserve onto these. #gardening #cidermaking #fruittrees
@polymerwitch I think they're under code freeze, so maybe not code commits right now
Honestly the kind of chaotic energy I aspire to. Hbomberguy is like some kind of trickster spirit.
I know this is a nice problem to have, but... 5.5K into a long-in-the-making journal article on #eighteenthcentury domestic #embroidery patterns (based on years of searching for them, collecting and cataloguing them) I have just landed upon another 40 of 648 designs. So more cataloguing, metadata, spreadsheets, formula etc., new information, more material for next web update in, but no writing . Here is one of my favourite of the new finds to make me and hopefully you feel better. #needlework
