I miss the wonderful cat stories on Facebook, particularly the Larry The Downing Street Cat for Prime Minister ones. I know that is a very special group, and nothing can ever replace it, but I would love to hear about your cats and the funny things they do. I am blind, so I can't see pictures, but descriptions help. Also, if anyone here writes as a cat, or even a dog or other pet, feel free to add me or comment.

How do I turn off the political posts in my Home timeline? Is there a way for me to hide them, or at least, certain conversations so that I don't have to see them?

#accessibility #filter #friendica #timeline #Tweesecake

I followed the Social Media feed from Newsmast. Now, I wish to unfollow them, but I can't figure out how to do it. I tried "Unfollow" on Tweesecake and also went to the page of the feed, but I keep seeing posts from them on my Home timeline (not the Federated one). I usually don't mind seeing such things in my timeline. I love the Food and Wine one, for example. It's just that this one is going a bit mad at the moment. I may follow it again at some point, or even check it.

I really love Tweesecake. The more I use it, the more wonderful things I learn about it. I am now able to view my Local Friendica.world timeline, Home (which is basically the people whom I follow), the Federated Timeline, my Favourites/Likes, my mentions (when people Mention me), etc. all in one place! Everything is customisable, too! I only wish they made a 32-bit version, so that I could use it on all of my machines, both physical and virtual. Still, as long as I can use it on one, it's good, since I can just use NVDA Remote to access it with another. Oh, and it doesn't try to insert nonsense when I write tags! I hate when I write in text fields and receive suggestions.

Yay!!! I got Tweesecake to work! I couldn't understand, for the life of me, what was going on! I thought the folder was corrupted, so I redownloaded it, and whenever I started it, it kept saying "Welcome to Tweesecake", and then "Config". Then, when I tried to navigate through the window, it completely disappeared. So I thought, maybe, they had discontinued their service, but that was not the case. It turned out that this is not a fully portable app. Unlike the ones at portableapps.com, and like both Serpent UXP and IceDove UXP, it stores information in a separate folder and not just the main one. I may change this behaviour in the future. For now, I deleted the separate Tweesecake folder (in App Data), and restarted the program. And now I have a perfectly functioning Windows client, including the ability to edit my posts!

Update. check comments. As usual, it's not fully accessible. Why, I don't know.
I just found something wonderful! It's an automatic way for me to find groups that interest me. Basically, when I add a hash tag to a post, sometimes, I get added to a community. For instance, the theatre tag added me to their community. There, I find all sorts of related posts. But I don't take their advice about not adding said groups to my timeline, because I want to see what others have to say! Regardless, along with the pages I found for topics, etc. this is a great way to add interests, and with luck, to make new friends!

I love this site. They have articles about all sorts of different topics! They also have some wonderful gifts that go well beyond the ordinary. This is also the home of Gastro Obscura, where they write about the most fascinating, delicious, and at times, bizarre foods from around the world. No, I don't work for them. I'm just a fan.

Has anyone ordered these "Firefly Petunias" before? They're by a company called Light Bio, and apparently the flowers glow in the dark.

I love plants and while this would be a cool addition, has anyone ordered one of these and found it to be a waste of money? Is there an ethical dilemma with ordering these?

light.bio

From Scientific American:

"The firefly petunia glows brightly and doesn’t need special food thanks to a group of genes from the bioluminescent mushroom Neonothopanus nambi. The fungus feeds its light-emitting reaction with the molecule caffeic acid, which terrestrial plants also happen to make. By inserting the mushroom genes into the petunia, researchers made it possible for the plant to produce enzymes that can convert caffeic acid into the light-emitting molecule luciferin and then recycle it back into caffeic acid — enabling sustained bioluminescence."

Light Bio. The flower you will love the most.

Lettre ouverte à Ursula von der Leyen

Nous vous appelons à mettre fin aux bulldozers de l’océan. Nous vous demandons d’imposer l’abandon de la pêche industrielle et la fin des subventions néfastes qui soutiennent et encouragent la destruction de l’océan.

I need to update this with more discoveries. But here is a post I made some time ago about Received Pronunciation. More specifically, it's about Upper RP, my favourite kind. This is when the English language comes alive and sounds like music. I could listen to RP all day long, provided it's Upper or at least Conservative. I have no use for Contemporary. It gives me a headache. Any other suggestions are warmly welcomed, and if you yourself speak in true RP, I would love to get to know you.

To medical professionals, there may be different nuances here. This is the popular understanding.
I'm not religious or superstitious, but this is very odd. Ivor Novello died in 1951 of a heart attack. Noel Coward, one of his best friends, died in 1973, 51 years ago, of a heart attack. Christopher Hassall, Novello's librettist, died in 1963, at the age of 51, also of a heart attack! Breakin the 51 theme but remaining with the health one, Clifton Webb, friend of Coward, died of a heart attack, as did both Gilbert and Sullivan, who influenced Novello! As for Hassall, I now have all sorts of lovely things to download from him! His RP accent is absolutely beautiful, as are his tones, and he is very much worth seeking out.

We've been watching "The Politician" on Netflix. My husband was watching it without me until I noticed I had been standing in front of the TV for ten minutes because I had stopped to see what was going on. If you're bored and want a break from real politics, I would highly recommend it.
