HOW TO SURVIVE THE HEATWAVE:
1. Stay hydrated.
2. Have an ice cream cone.
3. Dismantle the fossil fuel industry which is literally burning the planet for the short term profit of a vanishingly small capitalist class.
4. Wear loose clothing.

❇️ 🎉 INTRODUCING: FxMastodon 🎉

Today I was getting annoyed by Mastodon images/videos not always embedding properly on discord, especially if they're NSFW content. 🥺

I decided to make FxMastodon, which is a Mastodon equiv of FxTwitter that fixes embeds to make them work properly on Discord and certain other apps 😁

It works with images, GIFs, and videos from Mastodon posts - only shows the first image/video though

**How to use it:**

Simply prepend "fxmas.to/" to the start of the post URL after https://

**For example:**

https://derpy.masto.host/@LittleshyFiM/110725611755772701

**Becomes:**

https://fxmas.to/derpy.masto.host/@LittleshyFiM/110725611755772701

**This also works!**

https://fxmas.to/derpy.masto.host/110725611755772701

And of course, it's **OPEN SOURCE** https://github.com/Someguy123/fxmastodon

Please feel free to try it out and let me know how you like it, or if you find any bugs 🥰💚

The "free exchange of ideas" isn't really a marketplace. It's a potluck.

Everybody brings their own ideas, and you're free to sample as many as you like. Some are familiar recipes. Some are classics with a twist. Some are interesting but not to your taste. Some are straight up bad. Some are life-changing. The point is, you can discuss recipes or cooking techniques or ingredients as you sample the food.

If someone brings, say, mashed potatoes, you can debate its appropriateness at the potluck. Will it get cold on the table? Do carbohydrates make up too much of our diet?

But if someone strides up and sets a big steaming pile of dog shit on the table, next to grandma's casserole and the mashed potatoes, that's a problem. And it's not because we're "afraid" of eating their dog shit, or we're worried dog shit will "revolutionize" lunch. It's dog shit. We tell them to get that dog shit off the damn table.

This is why we don't let Nazis come to the potluck. Some ideas are just dog shit.

a strange idea that came to me: what if furry musicians united and made some kind of furry label cooperative that publishes music made by furries for free. what if they have a channel with music videos or tracks, like cloudkid/lithuania hq or trap nation for example. like i think it would be cool

Alrighty then, #Starcitizen friends! The free-fly has just started, and that means you can try out the game for free,no strings attached,until July 17th.

I like this quote:

“The problem is that electric cars are popular with politicians precisely because they provide an excuse to avoid doing harder things, like rebuilding our cities, or changing the habits of lifetimes. Persuading people to switch from their old gasoline car to a shiny Tesla is much easier than persuading them that they can live without a car. Hence governments are pushing electric cars, often with incentives that make no sense.” - Daniel Knowles, author of Carmageddon

"The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill will rip up hard-won privacy protections. This will not only harm UK citizens, but also the rights of Europeans living inside and outside of the UK."

Today marks my 4 year's anniversary of moving to The UK, to live with a group of friends I have known for quite while prior.
Four years later, I still live here, and our relationship are growing stronger for each day that passes.

This has been long time in the making. And I am thrilled that it actually came to fruition.

Happy squeak and the wish of cheese for everyone who would like some*.

*due technically reasons, only virtual and imaginary cheese can be offered at this time
