I'm thinking of moving from mastodon.social and I'm curious about people's experiences elsewhere. Stuff that matters to me: * moderation, balanced by openness and being welcoming to newcomers * fast updates / I want to forget about the tech stack because things just seem to work * demonstrated […]

@scott @kzeta I use an email server I made from an old payphone and a paperclip. Anything less would be ludicrously insecure.

No ads. No* algorithm. No influence campaigns. No AI. No bots. Just people on the internet talking to each other about all the little pointless things, (and big incredible things) in our lives. *I realize that the demonization of the term "algorithm" in social media is unfortunate in many ways […]

I’m about to finally get my act together and move my little-used Google Workspace account elsewhere. Is there anyone who would recommend something other than Protonmail for mail? I have file storage covered and don’t need calendars. I want to use a custom domain and a way to use IMAP clients is […]

This week I'm participating in "We ain't buying it." I won't be shopping at Amazon, Target, or The Home Depot. Instead, I'll buy from independently-owned stores, farmers' markets, small local chains, online and in-person craft fairs, non-profits, and the like. #WeAintBuyingIt #boycott #USPol

Image of the logos from Amazon, Target, and The Home Depot all crossed out, with the words "nah" and "nope" scrawled next to them. The logos are all copyrighted by those companies; I added the cross-outs and scrawled the text in GIMP. Composition and writing CC BY-SA Kate Zimmerman.

RE: sfba.social/@minmi/1156000522643318… Imagine... what kind of modern technology would we have, if it were optimized to help humans flourish? Could be something as simple as a user experience tweak on an existing device. Or could be a wholly new imagined thing! #AskFedi

Advice for Artists: Are you working on a painting of nature or where nature plays a key role? Consider adding ants. Ants are a part of every natural environment that isn't a glacier. If you already have a few ants, why not add more? How many species do you have? Even if it isn't a painting of […]

Today someone sent me a legal document to sign. Immediately upon opening it, I was greeted with, "Save time! Read the AI summary." 🫩 Did I mention it was a LEGAL document? 🤨 That I was responsible for signing? 🧐 And... they wanted me to trust an AI summary!?! 🤦🏻

Due to circumstances well within our control (me being ridiculous), things have escalated from there. (Rainbow approves, though, which is what really matters.)

A painting of a black and white cat in a basket hangs on a wall next to a photo of the same cat sitting in the same basket underneath the painting. A gallery card under the painting reads: Isabella Mielczarek (b. 2010) Basket Kitty, 2025. Oil on canvas. Gifted to the gallery by the artist.
A gallery card under the photo reads: Ted Mielczarek (b. 1979) Life Imitates Art, 2025. Photographic print on paper. On loan from the artist's collection.

A black and white cat stands on the edge of a large bathtub. Behind and to its left is a basket. On the wall above the cat hang an oil painting of the cat in the basket, and a framed photo of the cat sitting in the basket underneath the painting.

My cat Rainbow likes to sit in this basket in my bathroom. My daughter painted a portrait of Rainbow in the basket. I hung it in the bathroom, naturally. Then I got a photo of Rainbow sitting in the basket underneath the painting.

I ordered a package from a neighboring city – about 15 miles away from me. And yet, somehow, that package will go on a journey nearly *10 times* the distance because... ??? 🤯

Google map images showing two routes, both of which start in Berkeley and end in San Francisco.

In the top map image, "expected route for my package: Berkeley to San Francisco."

in the bottom map image, "actual route for my package: Berkeley to Richmond to... Tracy?!? ...to San Francisco."

Also, there's a car crash icon in the bottom map image. That was unexpected but seemed appropriate.

This weekend I saw an azalea bush in full bloom, covered in fallen leaves from a nearby sweetgum tree. Because the San Francisco Bay Area climate is weird like that. #BloomScrolling #SFBA #autumn #MobilePhotography #MyPhoto

Photograph of two white azalea blooms on an azalea bush, with a vibrant red sweetgum leaf nestled next to them.

Where I grew up, there were four distinct seasons. And azaleas bloomed in the spring, while leaves turned vibrant colors in the fall.

So I just... can't process this combination.

#3GoodThings 1. All of the pieces I made in my last pottery class are done and I brought them home today. 🎉 2. I started trimming my first porcelain piece and I think I'm hooked on porcelain. It's sooooo smooth! 3. Family cuddle time. 💖
