🍄🌞🦎


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*




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?


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.

You can read the blog here if you want to: Censorship Gone Wild




The Instagram blocking of hashtags this morning was the last straw. I'm beginning my transition off of all centralized social media.

Hope I can get my friends to follow.

Hello, Friendica


Hoping to replace Facebook with a viable alternative to keep me in touch with local events in Hereford, UK in particular, as well as other interests
in reply to Judith Sawyer

I'm also trying to find an alternative to Facebook. Just signed up from South Africa. I refuse to continue supporting billionaire social media, they're wrecking society and can't be a part of it anymore.
in reply to Judith Sawyer

Same but from Massachusetts. Planning on trying to bring a few people with me. Let's get that network effect rolling.




Little Drone, Big Damage - Drone that bent this wing weighed less than half a pound


Photos of the internal damage caused by a drone strike on the wing of a CL-415 waterbomber in California 10 days ago show that even tiny drones pack a punch. The drone, pieces of which were recovered from inside the wing, has been identified as weighing less than half a pound. The impact over Pacific Palisades bent the front of a rib and a horizontal leading edge member, and the water-scooping amphib required significant repairs.

Deactivate and uninstall


I don't trust #meta will delete my #facebook or #instagram or #threads data when I delete my accounts. Until i figure out what to do long term, these are the steps I've taken:

* uninstalled facebook, messenger, and threads apps (kept ig initially)
* made sure my meta account is not linked to fb or ig (I have an oculus quest that is useless without a meta account and I have not decided what I will do about that)
* changed my name to something ridiculous on facebook
* changed my username to someone else (breaks the url I was associated with)
* disconnected from all apps and cleared history and fucked with anything else I could in the facebook settings
* started manually deleting media, posts, and comments (not sure if i will continue this since it's probably pointless)
* disconnected from all apps and cleared history and fucked with anything else I could in the instagram settings and then deactivated it
* uninstalled instagram

What have you done so far and what else are you planning? There is lots more to do.

Meta is probably moving it's servers and all it's backups into the FBI data center or giving the a FBI a back door into them (if they don't already have one). Just kidding, well not really.

Today’s Chicago Weather


In case anyone was thinking this would be a good time of year to visit Chicago. Yes, that’s Fahrenheit. 🥶

in reply to Thomas

Yes, it had already been enabled, but we disabled it just to be sure it didn't cause the delays. Once everything is caught up, I'll re-enable it. (Probably this weekend)

Mark reshared this.

in reply to Thomas

Yes, once the processing of jobs is stable for a few days


Getting Through The Day


Despite my resolution to keep the bad stuff out of my head this time around, too much has already leaked in. Not so easy to see the end of all we worked, sacrificed and struggled to accomplish.

But life goes on. The fragrance of roasted millet. The sparkle of sun on the snow. The laughing, little girl, wielding a pink snow shovel, fighting back against efforts to clear the sidewalk.

Creating groups?


I'm trying to find how to create a group on Friendica. According to the docs, it should be under the "Contacts" tab, but I'm not seeing it there.

I did that already





New to here


Found Friendica from a post on Mastodon. I’ve been off X for a year and tried Bsky but got lots of trolls and women with no posts or biogs who all shared youth and large appurtenances. Still on Facebook due to friends and groups but highly restricted. And yes young ladies also want to be friends there. I joined my first political party at age 71, the Lib Dem’s. They are not perfect but they have some amazingly talented MPs.



Question on Profile.


Just joined but looked through the settings to add a photo to my profile but can't find it. What am I missing, or where is it please?


I'm #newhere


I've just created an account so I'm exploring. I've heard that it's possible to integrate Friendica with Mastodon and Disapora* to some extent so I'll be looking for pointers in that direction!
in reply to Chris - Dadmin2

Thanks for sharing.

I've made some progress. I've followed my Mastodon and Diaspora* accounts here and found that for Diaspora* following only works from Friendica to Diaspora* and can't be done the other way round.

I'm also working through setting up my own Friendica server. I've just managed to log in with my admin account so I'll see how that goes!

Survival


The Nazis have arrived.

If I don't get fired, arrested, or executed, I just might survive the next fours years ... or longer.

I have nature, therapists, alcohol, meds, pets, and guitars.

Toward survival, I have a slim chance.

Bon chance

Lykke til



Tuesday Action Day


Today, you take five minutes to contact your Senators and Representatives, and tell them to push back again any and all executive orders from the Nazi administration.
