Something @Mastodon did that I had begun to think was impossible: it got me thinking about open social platforms again.
I'm so burnt out on birdsite and facepage - even though I like many of the people I follow there. Being here and feeling encouraged to re-think some of the patterns that have been ossified on other platforms is so refreshing.
Thank you @Gargron et al.

2017: mastodon instances
2018: everybody writes their own ActivityPub server from scratch, the fediverse gets real weird
I wish there was a way to format text code or someway highlight it as performatted on Mastodon. It shouldn't eat into the character count, but would make it immeasurably useful in sending code and other monospace text
Thinking of xfering to toot.cafe for my mastodon presence
@cwebber +1. I wrote a whole thing about this: https://jasonlefkowitz.net/2013/02/i-kind-of-hate-twitter/
I don't know if it's the char count or the relative non-pressured atmosphere, but the people I follow here seem to write more interesting things than elsewhere in the social-media world.
You are all so interesting!
Also, here's a cup full of love <3 https://mastodon.social/media/1Cj7mJXXRmaL1p_PGIg
My wife comes in when I'm listening to disco and just gives me the "i can't even" face. #winning

This morning's work playlist: a selection of disco from the Mystery Men soundtrack. #discoisnotdeaddiscoislife
This is the second solar system mandala I drew; a commission for the owner of the Art Licensing company that represents me, for his wife for their anniversary. The planets are positioned as they were on the date of their anniversary. Diameter around 37cm.

If you want one of these, it'll set you back $200 including postage. Hopefully you can see why. :p

Mystery Men also has a tiny bit of a near-future dystopic Blade Runner thing going on
Mystery Men is so 90s it hurts - so good.

Was reminded of my old oneshot Monster of the Week-character earlier, thought I'd share her (and the rest of the monster-hunting squad) here.
Meet Fear-Not-The-Devil-For-Christ-Is-With-Thee Barebone - or 'Fear-Not' for short - a time-travelling 16th-century English Puritan.
... look, when you tell me 'time-travelling monster hunter' is an option, I'm GOING to go overboard.

Though whenever I feel overwhelmed I think now about how those with less privilege (pretty much everyone) must be feeling and think “how has the revolution not already arrived?!”
