To sum up: An estimated 5 million people protested in 50 states but the stories were deliberately relegated to the back of most major newspapers.

I can probably do workarounds, but basically it'll mean I'll still need a Windows machine (or maybe Mac) somewhere in the chain to properly maintain control of my Dropbox storage, or some other kludgy workaround. I'm VERY surprised Dropbox aren't currently offering a full-featured Linux client.

Only one thing. As my goal with Linux is the possible replacement of my Windows work environment, I've hit a snag with Dropbox. It's my main Cloud storage, and the Linux desktop app doesn't allow online-only storage. You can do selective sync, but that hides the folders you don't sync.

I'm also giving MeWe another whirl - I like its Facebook-like features, rather than BlueSky which is more Twitterlicious (I was never a Tweeter). You can find me there as "Sarah Newton" (@sarahnewton.29) - it would be lovely to use that more! <3

I'm keeping my Mac for AV work, and my PCs running for now for compatibility and safety. But my medium-term goal is to migrate my PC working to Linux - it's word-crunching and modest graphix, so a stable, non-bloated, low-cost yet rapid Linux environment could be the ticket. Here goes nothing... 😉

Strange, too. Waiting to hear more about this. It sounds terrible.

I'm gonna go to the caps lock for this: THE ONLY EFFECTIVE WAY TO PREVENT THE EXHAUSTION AND BURNOUT THE FASCISTS ARE RELYING ON YOU TO FALL INTO IS TO LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO HORRORS, KEEP YOUR ACTIVISM CONCRETE AND EFFECTIVE, AND DO OTHER THINGS WITH AS MUCH FERVOR AS YOU DO ACTIVISM.

finalised and moving into editing and layout! Onward! 🤩

LEOPARD EMPRESSES and I'm having a whale of a time letting my imagination run riot. It's also advancing the lore of Ximuria by an order of magnitude, exploring kindreds and campaign secrets and adding to the rules with some cool new modular elements. Looking forward now to getting this manuscript

Yep. And I never used Twitter precisely because it was impossible to say anything of substance. I've no idea why there's this fetishization of superficiality, it just encourages skimming and short attention spans. I guess Facebook will have a stranglehold until someone provides a viable alternative.

Howdy Paco! Not really posting much here yet, but I'm here and lurking, hoping to start posting more shortly! :)

This is completely insane.

DEMON KNEEPADS. Or who knows - DEMON KNEES? #FireBreathingBiteyBitey

Hi Darren! Still trying to work out how this thing works! 😆
