DOGE: Department of Getting Everything.

Muskie boy, poppa Flump and their Project25 pals really have a lot of big feels they don't have a clue how to process, eh?

i've had a few people ask where i am - not posting much at all these days. yes, i'm here, kinda 🫣
for now, i'm still holding @ feesable everywhere (excl tw), and prefer decentralised nets.
my own nexts are still undecided and i'm watching what happens with all tech platforms/current coups.

anyone found a way to import instagram archives to pixelfed (or other fediverse option), which allows more than 100 posts?

pixelfed is *supposed* to be able to import >5000, but i'm only able to import 100. also only back to 2015, which is years after i started using insta.

?

1) Do not read the whole original post or what it links to, which will dilute the purity of your response and reduce your chances of rebuking the poster for not mentioning anything they might’ve mentioned/written a book on/devoted their life to. lithub.com/rebecca-soln...

this would have been a strong contender for the ultra short story project i cocreated 24yrs ago (the-phone-book.com - no longer online, sadly).

this will be interesting to follow. can any govt be forced to accept accountability for its support of - and profiting from - genocide? they should, all of them.

no humane system can profit from the deaths of others. you're grown ass adults, learn to heal your wounds and talk instead of kill, ffs.

my sister's heading up to #Edinburgh today, and i'm daydream-travelling vicariously.

other than the exorbitant cacophony of pretty xmas lights, what's on up there at the mo that you'd recommend?

extra brownie points for #neuroqueer and #arts stuff.

i'd really like a 'filter feed by country' option on social media. it'd be nice to immerse fully in the voices of a particular place sometimes. and yes, it'd also be nice to sometimes quiet-down the barrage of voices from other places which might be particularly loud. ahem.

my life is one big snerdling 😆
might be time to get up soon, tho... 🤔
maybe one more coffee first? 😏

i like these observations from Luis Mojika (@holistic.life.navigation on insta), about current trends in online behaviour. they're seemingly the netiquette du jour, and say more about the commenter's untreated trauma/conditioning than those people might realise.

worth a try 🤞

from a quick scan, this is sounding pretty good!

i'd very much like to be got, if this is what being got means. where's my racoons at? 🔎🦝

i mean, hell, i'm not fussy: all critters welcome! i'll even take a soft toy if it's big enough to hug back.

just tested what a shiny new unpopulated feed looks like when i mute certain words + names.

much better.

my task for the day is "decluttering*" in prep for moving. (*by which i mean "drinking tea and faffing about in here". obvs.)

maybe i'll take the bins out. that technically fits the definition. although it will require putting on pants, which might be too great a leap for today's motivation levels.

i've had an account here for a while (under a diff name), but just added one under feesable in case anyone from the other place wanted to find me.

i'm a lot quieter online these days. i miss the early days of tech, when everything was possible, and we hadn't fucked it all up, yet.
