I don't need another wellness fad I need people in power to suffer consequences

Please get interested in RSS.

Please write cute little tutorials on how to make feeds out of any sort of page, handmade or otherwise. Please write little apps to read them that are stylish or lush and beautiful instead of dark and spare.

Please share feeds, and show screenshots of you using your reader to view articles about science and design and literature and someone's thrift haul.

Are there still atom feeds? If so, pretend I said this about atom. I like fedi, but I don't want to live in a world where everything is inherently social rather than accessible based on affection, passion and curiosity.

The only thing I don't like about Stardew is the whole "gotta get away from the big city" vibe. There are small little communities that need your help with the community center IN the big city. Too many people just aren't plugged in.

And the garden needs a lot of love and you *will* be exhausted.

You want wizards? We have SO MANY wizards.
We have a guy who lives in a tent.
A next to useless, embezzling mayor? We've got those too!
Artistic beachy man? We have that! The man AND the beach!

Stardew Valley but it's the South Bronx 1960s, you run a community garden & Jojamart is Robert Moses with the Cross Bronx Expressway.

The mines? Subway tunnels with a secret passage to North Brother Island.

Build friendship with the local teens by helping them to find a productive use for their love of graffiti-- But, don't offend the sweet church ladies: you'll need *their* help as well to stop the expressway.

Find artifacts of NYC history!
Pirer is now Pedro at the bodega.

De Franse Nationale Assemblee heeft gestemd voor een hogere belasting voor miljardairs. De senaat moet er nu over stemmen, maar er is reden tot enthousiasme. De belastingmaatregel heeft steun van 75% van de Fransen.

Een vergelijkbaar niveau van steun is te zien in peilingen in andere landen, waaronder de VS.

Een pilot in #DenBosch om mensen uit buurten met een laag museumbezoek naar een museum te krijgen is leerzaam en succesvol. Het krijgt daarom een vervolg.

I heard about that new Balatro game and decided to give it a try, wish me luck!

People mimic what they see when there’s a perceived danger. I was just at the pharmacy picking up my wife’s meds, and every pharmacist was wearing a surgical mask (wish they were n95, but I’ll take it). There were about 10 of us in the lobby and only three folks did not have a mask. As the moments ticked by, 2 of them walked over and picked up one of the free masks and put them on. The next three people who walked in, upon seeing a room of masked people, also put masks on from the free box. You may not think you’re setting an example, but you are. Show yourself. Be the light.

It really is a move in the direction of "you don't own the software you are running, the developer does". Not just for the aptly named "proprietary software", but even FOSS will do this shit.

It is so absurd that software randomly changes how it looks and work, and we just accept that. Nothing else in my house or personal possessions just goes and changes on its own without me doing it.

One of my favorite internet things to have come out in the last few years: a detailed catalog of objects, furnishings, and interior design used in Star Trek. https://star-trek.design/

Was about to reply in a thread but felt it might be hijacking, so here are some thoughts about how to learn about the mostly forgotten history of violence against the Chinese in the US.

"The Chinese must go" by Beth Lew-Williams goes into detail about the Chinese exclusion act and all the sinophobic violence that preceded and succeeded it. And how awful it was to be Chinese and living in California as it was one of the last states to remove anti-chinese laws.
