The Marshmallow Test - Bluesky signals it's willing to eat its young At AtmosphereConf, Bluesky celebrated its community, then signaled it's willing to eat them alive. No context. No acknowledgment. I was in the room.

not only do you not have to watch

you can log off and not read any of the posts about it

you can read a book about wizard detectives bake a cake hug your dog paint a picture go to bed early get a drink with a friend plan your garden start a jigsaw puzzle knit a scarf do some stretching take a bath

Wildly :D it's a .co.uk one which are rare beans. Migrating to Proton fully from my other services atm (all of the aliases! It is unbelievable how hard some companies make it to change your email)

Worth keeping for the comedy sextortion emails and Russian women seeking peen. Poor Tatiana.

Aw, meanwhile my 25 year old Hotmail is getting unhinged emails from Photobucket that sound like a desperate stalker-y ex! Actual subjects: "Who were you back then?", "We've got something that belongs to you", "Remember these?". Waiting on "YOU THINK GOOGLE PHOTOS UNDERSTANDS YOU LIKE I DO?!"

I know it was probably terrible for the environment in some way, but why did we give up on fun coloured plastic like this?

Mogwai

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

I could write so much about what this man's music means to me. I got to play one of his old guitars live last year and... it just... Wow.

The hope in his music makes me so desperately sad that it was out of reach for him.

Photo of a glowing jack o’lantern sitting in a dark room. It is illuminated from within so you can see that a cat wearing a surgical recovery collar also known as Elizabethan collar has been carved on the surface.

Here are some of the scary jack o'lanterns I've made for our cats over the years. First: the cone.

I feel this in my bones, dude.

Thoroughly recommend Mastodon (and the Fediverse). If the CEO of your instance turns out to be a ballbag, you just change instance and take your data with you :)

Chiming in to say...

1. I also see a blocked post.
2. Mastodon (and Fedi!
forever)

(I feel a little unsettled here because I know it's not actually decentralised. Plus I have to use a VPN as I live in the UK and don't want to verify my age by giving my data to some random US company.)

Imgur is now blocked in the UK. Easier for them to just block than try and comply. The OSA is a shameful law that has no place in a country calling itself civilised.

The switch looks to have been flipped on at 9pm. #imgur

My trans friend from Massachusetts came to visit me here in England for a few days. On the drive back to the airport on Monday night, I asked for a contact number for their father in Canada and their dog sitter, just in case of border issues - the anxiety is very real. What fucking timeline IS this?

Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told GETTY IMAGES

Here we go… this is what they really wanted from the Online Safety Act.

A way to blanket ban VPN use entirely.

The U.K. Online Safety Act was (avowedly, as revealed in a recent High Court case) “not primarily aimed at protecting children” but at regulating “services that have a significant influence over public discourse.”

Online Safety Act - shutdowns and site blocks Report incorrectly blocked sites on UK ISP and mobile networks.

Parts of the Internet are going dark since the Online Safety Act heaped weighty duties on platforms.

Sites are geoblocking the UK, overmoderating content, age-gating access or shutting down completely.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

The kind of poetry to ruin low carb 😗👌

*adds cookies to shopping list*

Just gonna say those state initials changed :D that's wonderful! I hope the in between isn't too long job wise and something awesome is round the bend 🤞

I am good! Got into IT - service desk, but it's good learning :) Aside that got more cats and got married :) still nerding and gothing 🤘

@findmeinthecreek.bsky.social OH MY GOODNESS! TABBY!!!!! :D

How the devil are you?!

(I thought I had lost you to the void of cyberspace after the first Xodus a few years back. Tried your old handle here recently - my timeline has been devoid of Seeming, cats and fossils for too long T_T)

There is very sadly an actual woman (and brilliant voice artist/proud Scot) behind the original recordings who has had her voice stolen. Illegally too, which makes it worse. ScotRail are behaving appallingly.
