Tea tip: lavender turns out to be *very* suitable for making tea, it's caffeine-free, and unlike most 'infusions' or 'herbal teas' you can make it quite strong and it isn't sweet!

food, cooking, new thing i just tried 

@vantablack If you're doing omelettes, another interesting trick is to put a lid on the pan after the first minute or so and cook it at a very low heat; magical fluffy omelettes!

I accidentally searched for "Astrology software" instead of "Astronomy software" and aesthetically I'm obsessed.

homophobia, important 

Please keep an eye out for people trying to brand monkeypox as a "gay disease", explicit or otherwise, and push back hard and early!

I've already started seeing the same kind of "the damn gays fucking everywhere" rhetoric that also popped up during the first years of the AIDS epidemic in the US. That rhetoric was directly responsible for (tens of?) thousands of deaths.

We absolutely *cannot* afford to let homophobes gain control over the public narrative around monkeypox, and let them use it to once again kill queer folks by denying them crucially important healthcare. :boosts_ok_gay:

@cassolotl Oops, this reply didn't show up initially! That's unfortunate... and yeah, I'll add myself to the list then, thanks :)

@cassolotl Thanks! That does indeed seem stretchy enough :) So if I want to buy them, what do I do next?

@protodrew@merveilles.town I really miss that with torrents, the whole "here's my everything, have fun" thing

@cassolotl Ooooh. I'm looking at the non-sparkly non-binary flag handwarmers in particular - how's the sizing work with these? As I have pretty big hands, size 11 or so I think.

(Also, all the while trying to avoid all of the usual technical traps that make most (dynamic) website builders completely unscalable/unreliable, by planning out the entire mental/data model for it upfront)

Today's project: working on my website builder project thing! Specifically, one that is built for personal creativity rather than corporate needs, and that'll hopefully Some Day(tm) be extensible to the point of easily building entirely custom dynamic things for communities... assuming my ADHD ass ever actually gets to that point

🤔 so far Migadu's spam filtering (which I assume is just SpamAssassin?) has been filtering out spam better than GMail has been doing for the past few months or so...

@julialuna@chaos.social My alarm went off as I read this

People who moved to Mastodon from Twitter in recent months:

How you feelin about it?

Please don't feel I'm asking you to pledge allegiance or Engage In Discourse
There's an obvious selection bias cause you're still here to read this, anyway.

Just, we've all had the welcome wagon out and the fediverse has been praising itself a lot. But like, I dunno. Curious how it's sitting with y'all on a personal basis

homophobia, important 

Looks like mainstream Dutch media is already starting to perpetuate it with questionable imagery choices: ad.nl/binnenland/tot-drie-weke

@ackthrice Your message shows as empty - was that intentional?
