Decided I might as well make a Pixelfed account, hoping some day it replaces my Instagram.

This multiplied by a billionty, if you're sitting on a pile of cash or you're an engineer working at a top tech firm and can afford to go risk doing something worthwhile, instead of pissing your life away to show us more ads, then this is where to invest your time and money instead.

Digital sovereignty must be a key focus for all free societies in the next decade if democracy is going to survive this moment.

Have any of the #modeltrains folks made it a goal of theirs to model and paint the 12+ designs of these that are out in the wild? I just need to know who's slutting it up. #trains

when I worked in an independent bookstore, the owner told me the most stolen book was one about getting your first period and if I saw anyone walking out with it, I should just let them go.

I got my canal walk this weekend and the weather held out, though we also caught whatever illness is going around on the way home and now feel like shit. 😮‍💨 However enjoy some canal pics.
Looking through an arched brick bridge over the Rochdale canal outside of Hebden Bridge. The bricks are black with industrial soot and both the bridge and towpath are surrounded by greenery. Looking further down the canal, surrounded by the old brick buildings and chimneys of Hebden Bridge and lined with canal boats and trees. Some of which were just starting to show their Autumn colours. A different arched brick bridge over the canal. The water is calm enough you can see reflections of the bridge and the surrounding trees on the water. Looking through the open archway under the bridge are little huts and a white and green canal boat on the opposite side of the canal. Looking out over cloudy skies and one of the many locks along the Rochdale canal. There's a wide, gravel towpath to the right and both sides of the canal are tree-lined. The lock is made with heavy hardwood components, made to withstand the pressure from the constant flow of water and boats.

On a train today and I've noticed one of the differences between Brits and I. Even if someone is sitting in their seat, Brits will often debate even bringing it up, where I'm always the "American" just walking up saying, "I believe you're in my seat," and people just look at me shocked.

I was going through some old photos the other day, and I kind of hope this block is still safe in the loft.
A carved soft lino block with the reversed image of the phrase, Eh up me duck, but the duck is drawn instead of put into words. The block is laying on top of a white picnic table cloth with colourful cows on it.

In my continuation of watching horror movie documentaries, tonight's documentary is The Exorcist Untold.

And then I didn't even get to connect with the person I made the long commute in for. 😭

So 8 am commuters are way more chill than those 7 am commuters. Hoping it stays that way.

If it's not yet the Halloween season, why am I doing a chthonic jig on the roof of the old barn as the Silver Shamrock theme plays?
