Re-boosting your own posts for 'the morning crew' or 'the night crew' is an acceptable and encouraged practice here. We are largely a community of supportive people who enjoy being given the opportunity to help each other and boost content we may have previously missed.
You should never feel ashamed of promoting yourself, especially as an artist, when it's so difficult to reach people. If anyone doesn't want to see your boosts, they can just scroll past.

how to tell whether a watermelon is ripe 🍉
It’s really easy to tell if a watermelon is ripe! First off: thumping doesn’t help, and weight isn’t really a good indicator. But that’s okay because the easiest way to tell is by color. Look for a spot on the melon that’s lighter in color than the rest of the rind: this is the spot that was touching the ground while the melon was growing! If that spot is white, the melon isn’t good yet. When that spot turns yellow, the watermelon is ripe!

If you are into #pinball, this weekend the Dutch Pinball Open is happening in the Dutch Pinball Museum in #rotterdam, and it seems there's still some tickets left. #dpo is fun for recreational players as well as competitive players. Expect lots of different games, all on free play, and a lot of fun! #dpo #dpm
I'll be volunteering, so come say hi if you're coming over!

vaguely political rant
@lawremipsum@mspsocial.net Unfortunately, I'd say it's not *just* the "extremely online" mentality.
All news outlets essentially run on this same principle - they just feed you a perpetual stream of completely non-actionable information that mostly just makes you feel bad, and that *really* is only useful to journalists whose literal job it is to distill long-term meaning from it.
This is not meant to disagree with your toot in any way, of course, just to emphasize that this problem also exists outside of "internet folks", with much the same harmful consequences, and that it's pretty much an (arguably deliberate) cultural cornerstone in many places.

On the Icelandic fediverse/Mastodon I've started seeing people using the word "tútta" for "toot". "tútta" (pronounced toot-ta) is normally a slang term for a boob/tit.
Please reboob this.

I made a thing: 
I also made a bunch of other things:

:tdvenlo: 
@Kuun@climatejustice.social (For those who are reading this from the Netherlands, one such organization is Stichting MEE, at least from what I've heard. I don't know their exact scope though, but I've heard good things from people who have gone there for help.)
Content warning
@Greef@masto.ai Dit kan ik heel erg waarderen. ❤️ Je bent tot nu toe (helaas) een van de weinigen die zich dit lijkt te beseffen en het ook echt serieus neemt en zich erover uitspreekt, en het is een zware week geweest voor veel mensen.

@maia nah, just delete their instance
@A8bit 🤔 I don't think it works that way, I think you need to actually follow people for any lasting federation that affects your timeline view?
@Kuun@climatejustice.social That has absolutely been the case for me. There should honestly be more support organizations that can do this for you.
why cohost is problematic (long) 
@risottobias@tech.lgbt Oh, for sure, I have a lot of issues with how Eugene runs things as well. It's the difference between the "well, that sucks, you'll just have to deal with it" of a silo vs. "we don't *have* to do what this guy says" of a federated network that's important to me :)

WIP of some more lowpoly fox 3D prints I created. Soon I will have the gang back together again. :3
Printed on an #Ender3 and painted with acrylics.
They will be again for sale around the end of the year, with optional winter hats. I'm curious about opinions on pricing. I will attach a poll to a followup post, if you want to fill it out. ^.^
