I think I wanna set up a simple blog to put longer notes on. Any recommendations for something self-hosted but really easy to manage, or something hosted but open and trustworthy? (Not Telegraph, thank you)

Framasoft's "degooglization" project is freaking incredible. If you're looking to replace some proprietary service you use, or if you're looking for a good Open Internet cause to donate to, definitely check it out: degooglisons-internet.org/list

I'm currently working on an article about the pan-Asian response to Taiwan's ruling on same-sex marriage and I'm looking for people - especially LGBTQ women & non-binary people - from across Asia to interview. (I'm including ex-Soviet Bloc/Eurasia in this, such as Armenia, Cyprus, or Georgia.)

I'm especially looking for people from Brunei, Bahrain, Afghanistan, and Bhutan since finding them has been tricky, but anyone from any Asian country works too.

Please boost & share!

I remember being a teenager monologuing to a friend about being too shit to deserve books, and hating books for that, or something, so I guess the answer to "why did I stop reading" is depression, just like the answer to most other questions ✨

I read so many books as a child, and I read so fast o.O But I usually didn't remember the plot at all, I didn't really understand that remembering the plot was a thing people did, lol. (Until I met people who actually remembered the plot of Harry Potter and were smug about that.)

Oh. Oops. I bought THAT (from the publisher's store like I'm trying to do more often), and then somehow I remembered that "Chameleon Moon" is 99 cent on amazon right now, and I went and bought that, and then in the recommendations there were "The Long Way to a Small, Angry, Planet" and some other book that I marked want-to-read a while ago for less than 1€ each, and I bought them too… which would be cool because books, except I don't really read a lot anymore, so, I feel weird m)

Okay. Saw "Storm Season" by Pene Henson in a rec thread. That is… a "being trapped in the wilderness" f/f story with possible hurt/comfort. I am interested :o store.interludepress.com/colle

I stopped using my some time in May, but now I started a page for June and even did some things and this is weird :>

bury me under a statistically significant number of cats

okay okay okay! as a distraction from annoying things that i should actually do, i made a thing that makes noise and light when you do a thing! i am a pleased cat!!

Why did anyone think "make a boring thing in a way that is pretty awkward. then, with you new knowledge, make that exact same thing again in a way that makes more sense!!" was a good idea and why did I fall for it, I can't get my mind to cooperate at all because I already spent hours on the first version and THAT was incredibly boring and now MORE OF THAT except with the "you really wasted your time before" twist, whyyyyy

(And to be fair the chmod plot was more about using Linux while knowing very little about it, dream-me wasn't quite sure how sudo works and worried about its power spilling everywhere and things going wrong, so, in the end it might have been one more boring lowkey anxiety dream, sadly.)

(Okay, there was also a weird plot about smashed dishes that were mixed with non-smashed-dishes and a box of ladles and stuff that were left in front of a door as a mystery gift.)
