Michael Kiwanuka


He's one of my favorite music discoveries of the last several years. For your listening pleasure, a track from his newest album, Small Changes, called Lowdown. The YouTube video is parts 1 & 2, which are separated into two tracks on the album. It showcases Kiwanuka's unique blend of soul, psychedelic, blues rock, and indie rock.

Giving Friendica another go, so here's a bit of an introl!


I was born in a city in Yorkshire, known by the name of the river that runs through it!
Not sure how long I lived there because (one of) my parents became homesick and the family returned to the Red Rose side o f the Pennines - Preston in Lancashire, so my first memories are of growing up in a new council house during the '50s. I have lived in and around Preston ever since.
Got married in the mid '70's and she has put up with me to this day.
After secondary school I had a few jobs then worked for a major employer in the Preston area for almost 40 years before taking early retirement. Have now been retired over 12 years.
I like reading, mostly scifi, listen to various genres of music (eclectic mix), enjoy walking in the local countryside.

you wake up.

you're still a lizard sunning on a red rock. it was all a dream

the concept of selling "feet pics" to pay back "student loans" is already losing its meaning as you open and lick your own eyeballs to moisten them

time to eat a bug.



Hello New Site


I've been working on divorcing myself from FB and finally hit the point of Oh Fuck It. So now I'm here.

I'm a queer indie author (nonbinary aro/ace) who writes books (SF, Fantasy, Mystery, mostly) and does watercolor and sewing as hobbies.

To say that I'm avoiding looking at the news right now is putting it mildly.

You can find me on Dreamwidth, on Pillowfort and on Mastodon as well.

All my books are available DRM-free from most sites. Still working on getting my website set up for direct sales but hopefully I'll manage that this year. *knocks on wood*

Anyway, I'm hopeful that this won't be misery the way FB has been for literal years.

*waves*



First impressions

So the bottleneck in the job processing queue is outside the server where you host the pixelfed code for pixelfed.social? Other than using mastodon and only doing light reading on the fediverse, I am completely new to the decentralized architecture

EDIT: my bad, I thought you (@rudd) were hosting pixelfed.social ... maybe I need to join your pixelfed.




Any chance they'll reduce the excise tax while they're at it?


I am new here on Friendica, as are many of you. But has anyone found a way to limit the content I see about fascist politics? I do want to keep informed, but I don't want to see a deluge of this stressful stuff. Where's the fun stuff?
in reply to Sheila DeBonis

Hi! I'm new here as well; I think the answer is making a channel from nice tags, like “Asstodon” and “Mondog” and viewing that instead of the raw, unfiltered sewa... feed. Another alternative is using saved searches.


Emigrating from facebook


Facebook has been an annoyance for quite some time. Though their recent censorship has gotten to extreme levels and I no longer feel I can be part of facebook or anything Meta. I am hoping to connect to friends here and make some new ones. I blogged on this topic earlier.
