this is as a noun to be clear, like, “just posted a new blog”
some people on this fediverse use the word “blog” to mean “blogpost” and it throws me every time
the fact that sprigatito ends in -o but meowscarada ends in -a means it is canon trans
how long before cat leans fully into the bit and just starts identifying as a meowscarada
« Another manifestation of magical thinking is believing that the best hope for progress on our greatest challenges — climate change, racial injustice and economic inequality — are corporations and individual investment and consumption choices, rather than political mobilization and our communities. » tfw the finance professor has a good take
« Romance writers’ groups can be fizzy, exhilarating places. There is sexy cover art. There is snappy industry jargon, like HEA (Happily Ever After), Dubcon (dubious consent) and Reverse Harem (a female protagonist with multiple male love interests.) » wait until you hear about fandom

meta - search, public posts, and consent - long toot
the person who built the now-defunct searchtodon "experiment" posted a post mortem. the replies are once again filled with comments like "people don't understand how useful tools like this could be" and "what do people expect posting publicly on the internet" and "bad actors are already doing this though I'm sure of it" so I'm going to try and make this clear once again.
this network, by which I mean the network(s) of instances that federate content to each other (sometimes) via ActivityPub, is operated by thousands of individuals via loose consensus as to the acceptable uses thereof. each instance is independent of all the others and makes its own decisions in that regard. it is messy - it fragments and shards as instances defederate from each other for various reasons - a lack of consensus between the instances involved.
this system has allowed people to share their thoughts with each other for many years now.
what this system does not do is grant anyone an irrevocable license to take any given user's public posts on the network and use them however they see fit. the post is the author's and not yours and not mine.
when you build a tool to repurpose others' content without their consent you're taking something that isn't yours and doing what you want without any regard for the rights of the author. that sucks. you do so without any regard for the additional load your "service" puts on the network servers and operators. that also sucks.
in the corner of the fediverse that I inhabit we try and make this space - this consensually operated federation - a place where people can express themselves without being taken advantage of. companies in the social networking space have been taking advantage of people for years in the name of profit. do not come here and decide to take advantage of people in the name of "open data" or some bullshit instead. simply choose to respect the wishes of others when they tell you to leave their stuff alone over and over again. it's easy. just don't.
« I will leave things as they currently are, but I wish it to be known that the charges are incorrect, and I hope some other user with the inclination for it would rewrite it in a wording that does not lend itself to those charges. »
punch, punch, falcon punch
« The 1×1 magic square, with only one cell containing the number 1, is called trivial, because it is typically not under consideration when discussing magic squares; but it is indeed a magic square by definition, if a single cell is regarded as a square of order one. »
» Research never ends. Take this, for example…
» If I didn't know you, I wouldn't want to know much about you.
» But meeting you just once would create a lot of mysteries…
» like what your name is or what your hobbies are.
» I think it's something like that.
» The more you know, the more mysteries there are.

just learned what “autotomy” means thanks to the pokémon move Autotomize
remember when pokémon introduced a ♀-only species with a pokédex description of “it is theorized these pokémon decorate themselves with bones to attract a mate”
we've hit the part of the year where i have to start caring about sunrises
apparently i posted this twice which tells you something about my current levels lol
“oh, my brain suddenly dropped to like 65%”
“this would be fine if i wasn’t a programmer working on code which requires at least 80”
hate having vocations which all make me hyperaware of my current level of mental functioning
i don’t have any holidays or observances on the calendar for the upcoming week and i don’t think anything exciting has happened so i’ll probably skip the sunday post this week unless somebody on this instance @’s me something
