what if everybody used content warnings for the super heavy shit? please.
Cute dog says hi.
Also a reminder that it's fine to (maybe temporarily) mute people even if you care about them. Taking care of yourself is a good thing 🍪 🍵

Her name is Natalie Nguyen. She was, and is loved. She existed. She mattered. She is gone, and missed, but not forgotten.
@bubblewr_ap Superplöp 👾 🍨
@distelfliege Oh I like it 💙
What do use the "Wochenrückblick" page for?
@minx I followed your instructions and I like the 'just throwing the bag away' part. But I have to figure out if I really want to produce so much plastic waste. Maybe I try it in a bottle next time and see how it goes.
I'm having my first coldbrew #coffee now and it is somewhere in the middle between tea and the usual coffee (at least when you add hot milk/water).
I'm a bit sad that I didn't discover it in the summer.
And I still have to figure out what my stomach has to say later.
Thanks @minx for the inspiration ☕️ 👾
Why do you give your money to the evil audiobook monster? I hate DRM okay but I am also lazy and always low on spoons.
Remind me to check out this aax to mp3 converter script for my audible books tomorrow OK?

I want to do a bit of research on opinions on federation for my #decentwebeu project. I'm digging for arguments in favor of decentralising. Please boost and/or answer any of these questions:
1) How aware are you of the federated nature of this network in your day-to-day use?
2) Which, if any, concepts of federated networks do you find challenging, confusing or foreign?
3) Why are federated networks "better" than centralised social networks (silos)?
(The last question is biased, roll with it)

its fucking heavy that the lunchtime conversation at work, after working on software development, is about the war in syria and in palestine, the situations in north africa, how egypt and other countries are hired by europe to police the border... but for me i think its important to hear and important to hear from the people who lived it.
so many of these people are here because they were pro-democracy demonstrators against military dictatorships. they are young people who have such high concern for human rights and for fair government, and i'ts so good to hear their perspectives, as a person from the USA and europe.

So many of my students come from ISIS controlled villages in Syria, or who were policail activists who protestsed Assad and who lost half of their entire families in the war, who were forced to fight for the Assad regime, who went to prison for demonstrating for democracy...
The first thing they all tell me about the war is that the USA created ISIS, created al Queda, and coopted the Arab Spring and the result of their intervention has been utter chaos with no smooth transition of power away from these dictators.
Just wanted to remind y'all that the USA created ISIS and "fighting ISIS" is bullshit empty rhetoric so everything you heard is a lie.

Does anyone want to start an orginisation that just brings people together online to make small specialised apps? Like desklet things for Ubuntu/Mint and stuff like that.
The purpose would be to give an easy opening into open source projects and to put people in contact with each other. We have lots of developers and lots of artists and writers and stuff.
Also I am annoyed with the world and want to do something.
@KitRedgrave@glitch.social You would have to separate it from the capitalist environment.

mental health bulletjournal
@distelfliege Ah okay. I have a lot of personal stuff in there too, so I get it :)
Yes, the process of getting things (thoughts, feelings, plans...) in order again is very helpful. I just need this more when I'm feeling very stressed and bad and then I spend more time doing it.

@distelfliege My bulletjournal saves me from falling apart completely very often.
Maybe you want to share pictures? :)
