if you want to see your oldest posts, just add ?min_id=0 to the URL of your public profile :)

Another tip: Did you know you can turn off boosts (retweets)? If you get tired of only seeing shared content, and nothing original from your friends, you can turn off boosts for a while.

Check the menu at the top of your timeline.

The other day I was talking with some friends about the “old days” before Mastodon supported CWs, and how we used to EBG13 nyy bs bhe cbfgf because, guess what, if Mastodon didn’t have CWs we still wouldn’t throw nyy guvf fuvg out in the open. I realized that I actually kind of liked ROT13 better than the current system, because you could only ROT13 ⁜cneg⁜ bs n cbfg and the remainder would give the reader context as to how the problematic bit was being used.

Then I realized that our old ROT13 system was an effective plaintext fallback for pbagrzcbenel Qvfpbeq-fglyr fcbvyre gntf and that I could just implement that in Mastodon, so I did.

GlitchCat users! You can now create inline spoilers in your posts by using a <spoiler-text> HTML tag in either the Markdown or HTML content modes. Spoilers ⁜can⁜ include emoji but ⁜cannot⁜ include other markup like links, mentions, or hashtags.

Spoilers federate as ROT13 with special properties so that other servers can recognize them. If you are on another Mastodon instance which supports Markdown and HTML content modes, let me know and I can get you a patch!

We need another sex positive, sex worker instance on the fedi.

We don't have enough smut. Smut levels are far too low.

Really enjoyed this piece: "Why Do Archivists Get Rid Of Things (And Enjoy It)?"

One of my jobs is helping folks work with our catalog's data and it's been very meaningful to help the archivists identify things to weed and open dozens of feet of shelf space. This piece explains some of the reasons why it's necessary (and can feel good).

#StarWars peeps, come and look at this amazing fanvid by ExtraPenguin: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42901995/chapters/107782347

"Start A War", about Palpatine and all the wars he's started. A perfect song+theme choice, and a really well-made vid as well. (Disclaimer that it's done by a fandom friend, but it really IS that good.)

If you were to lock two actual, off-duty clowns in a closet, and they weren't allowed out until you answered all of your questions, what would you ask them?

Season 2 of #2ClownsInACloset starts recording soon, and I need more questions!

Please reply and give me some things to scrawl on note cards for our performers to talk about during the upcoming episodes.

For all the details, and season one's recordings:
