So one of my students said I looked like this and honestly I wasn't even mad, I thrive to give off this vibe, the little rapscallions don't even know.

I recently went to a public library in my hometown and I just got an email instead of a paper receipt and it showed that I saved money by borrowing from the library instead of buying it. So cool! :blobglassesdown:

So I passed my TExES Special Education exam. In one month I should be fully certified for my interim license and in one year I'll be a fully licensed teacher.

This is partly why I think the #Fediverse could give the building blocks to slow this down by neutralizing right-wingers to buying up the advertising and followers. But I don't see that happening for a long time.

So a short infographic I've been working based on the talks I've had over the weekend and when the 5 cups of coffee finally left my body.

#Mastodon #Fediverse #infographic #resist
An infographic titled "Why the Far-Right Fails on Mastodon" with a colorful vertical timeline design. It lists seven key reasons why Mastodon is resistant to right-wing influence. Each section has a distinct color and icon. Section 1, "Federated Structure," explains that Mastodon has no central authority, allowing individual servers to block harmful instances. Section 2, "Community-Driven Moderation," highlights that local moderation teams prevent hate speech. Section 3, "No Algorithmic Amplification," notes that Mastodon doesn’t boost content based on outrage, reducing the spread of extremist content. Section 4, "Cultural Barriers," points out Mastodon’s left-leaning, privacy-focused culture that is unwelcoming to far-right influencers. Section 5, "Defederation Power," explains that instances can block harmful servers like Gab. Section 6, "No Profit Motive," states that Mastodon doesn’t rely on ad revenue, reducing incentives for inflammatory content. Section 7, "Examples," lists Gab and Truth Social's failed attempts to integrate with Mastodon. The infographic ends with the Mastodon logo and links to join the platform.

I forgot my laptop when I went to visit my family so I'm stuck with this old dell latitude for the weekend. I just need it to remote into my home server and launch another VM

We could have had Seto Kaiba but instead we got Elon Musk, this timeline sucks.

I think it's a bit surprising that the official #pixelfed app is higher than the official #Mastodon app by free social network app category in the Google Play store. It is however right below Truth Social :blobcatnauseated:
Mastodon is 56 place in the Top Free Social Networking apps on the Google Play store Pixelfed is 17 place in the Top Free Social Networking apps on the Google Play store and Truth Social is in 16 place.

Okay the living room is coming together! So choice!

I think I'm prepared for a mini #halloween movie marathon. I'm very much into the season right before Christmas.
Have it locked and loaded on my #jellyfin server ready for viewing.
