@shingworks It's not?
@brook I've been resisting favoriting this all day because I feel kinda bad that they woke you up. But I can no longer resist because it makes me laugh every time I read it.
@fluffy Happy birthday! I'm very much in favor of pizza-making tools.
@Fritillaria2 They both put on great shows!
Today I'm appreciating rediscovering the educational game Odell Lake, which I barely remember playing in grade school. But I do remember that it taught me what a Dolly Varden is! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odell_Lake_%28video_game%29
What are you appreciating today?
@brook Love Iris!
@brook I have never been, but I saw a presentation from the curator of the sea monster museum that made me really want to go! http://skrimsli.is
Really looking forward to id Software's new motherhood simulator they announced last night: Do Maternal.
There must be some kind of biological process that makes me more and more susceptible to terrible puns the older I get.

Today I'm appreciating Tomi Adeyemi's novel Children of Blood and Bone (http://www.tomiadeyemi.com/books/) and Not Your Mama's Gamer Saffista, who hosted a virtual book club meeting on her stream while she built Pokémon crafts. (https://mixer.com/nymgamer_saffista)

Happy Thursday, beautiful people.
Hey. Take a breath. You're going to be just fine. We fight, we disagree, go back and forth, etc.
That's what happens when you try to figure out solutions. It's just messy.
It's just part of the process. You're ok.
The pro of all of these new instances popping up is that you can build your own communities where you feel safe with people you trust.
The con is that there is less quality control. People of color, women, trans folks, and folks with disabilities and illnesses are constantly harassed when we post on public, a lot of (newer) instances don't have codes of conducts, and we don't have all damn day to keep blocking instances (bc there are so many).
Today I'm appreciating getting to see Deva Mahal live on the opening night of her tour. She has an amazing voice, great songs, and invited everybody to come by the merch table because she gives good hugs. https://youtu.be/JVIKJwMtRco

Puppets wearing microbit and neopixel vests which communicate wirelessly!

@FeyTechnologist Welcome welcome! Looking forward to seeing you more soon!
