Dear Fedi friends,

You asked for it and here it is: an #Italian version of my Fedi promo video:

https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverso-video/

Or as I like to think about it: a video about the #Fediverse that even my non-techie mom would understand.

I hope you'll find this useful in spreading the word about the Fediverse with your Italian friends and family.

Alas these are all the languages I speak (Italian, French, English) but there are other foreign versions by volunteers coming soon.

Update: I just shared the Italian version of the Fedi promo video with my parents. (I hadn’t dared send them the English one because they would not have understood a thing).

My mamma had the most mom-like response (see screenshot). Now awaiting a bullet point rebuttal by dad 😆

I also plan to quiz them tomorrow: “so what is the Fediverse?”

@moonrabbit 😂 I’m all for not going and admiring kitty from afar

@stephaniepixie seems the most reasonable course of action to me.

how are you both?

stephaniepixie 🏳️‍🌈6d ago

@moonrabbit Absolutely agree!

Another rude awakening by loud machinery this morning. Well I was rudely awoken but Ava was so deeply asleep on her window perch that her face was leaning over the edge 😆
There was a couple of days when Ava seemed to have lost her voice but she’s been more her usual vocal self today.

@stephaniepixie oh bless. how wonderful to sleep like that! ha although maybe with a pillow

i so glad she's recovering so well!

Sindarina, Edge Case Detective 6d ago

@moonrabbit So fluffy! 😻

@sindarina yesss! he's got even more floof since he's been eating and gaining weight. which is good, but maybe not at this time of year ...

comp_ed82 6d ago

@moonrabbit This one isn't mine. If he consents, you may borrow him.

he looks so comfy, i might just let him sleep.

@moonrabbit @Joannanewsomsuperfan are you a long lost sibling ?

@rafseries @Joannanewsomsuperfan

ooh what a lovely!
on the sibling front though: has that one got a tail? mine just has a floof stump 😂

®️🅰️🅿️♓6d ago

@moonrabbit @Joannanewsomsuperfan black spotcon the face + black tail + black round spots on each side like a cow (although he doesn't like that comparison)🙀

@rafseries @Joannanewsomsuperfan

haha i call mine furry cow all the time 😂
especially when i'm lying down and he's standing up near my head ... he's quite tall as well so yep 100% cow.

he's more black than white, although actually the black hairs are only black right at the tips: they're grey further down. but just a floof pompom for a tail (he was born like that: it's the breed). so ha maybe they're distant cousins ...

®️🅰️🅿️♓6d ago

@moonrabbit @Joannanewsomsuperfan Mine (his name is Corto) come from a shelter so I have no info on his breed but some people told me he looks like a turkish van. We live in Paris (France) so your cat has a fancy cousin😸

®️🅰️🅿️♓6d ago

@moonrabbit @Joannanewsomsuperfan last one : as a typical parisian cat, he loves to sleep in his wooden wine box !

@rafseries @Joannanewsomsuperfan

nous habitons dans la charente, bonsoir !

mine's name is kitten (even though he's nearly 5 years old). he was born in france, but the breed is from the kuril islands (between russia and japan). our other cat is from the SPA, but they told us she was mostly siamese.

je souhaite une très belle soirée à vous et Corto

®️🅰️🅿️♓6d ago

@moonrabbit @Joannanewsomsuperfan Oh Wow, un cousin charentais !! Génial !
Many love to the gorgeous Kitten !

@moonrabbit I'll take this.

@moonrabbit Update! An hour later and they are both sleeping in hubby's lap. This is his excuse for not being able to do dishes before he picks me up from work. I accept the excuse.

@somcak oh bless. what a sweet progression, especially the kitten flop

(and yeah that's pretty watertight as excuses go)

bhtooefr 6d ago

@somcak @moonrabbit not getting up when the pets are laying on you is just the law after all

@moonrabbit OK, I'm happy to sit here for a while and admire that luxurious floof! 😻

BramblyBearWhuffling 6d ago

@moonrabbit ♥️♥️♥️

Such a comforting, adorable floof!

How are you doing today?

@BrambleBearWhuffling hello!
and how are you, wonderful bear?

he is indeed the most floofer.
i'm ok-ish. having a rough few due to endo, and we're in a heat wave too, BUT the cats are both eating and seeming ok at the moment (after not recently), so i'm very happy about that.

i need to raku shortly though so will be trying not to melt.

BramblyBearWhuffling 5d ago

@moonrabbit I am pretty good at this moment. Sick a few for few days earlier. Hard to remember to keep using natural antibiotics as long as necessary so stuff doesn't roar again. This morning is lovely so far, (and getting away from me!). I love to just dawdle and linger when I can.

Endo n heat-gah! Either one is hard and awful; both together is just not fair!

Hope the raku fire goes well and keeps the heat to itself and clay.

Cozy comforts and coolness to you💨🌲🌲🌱🌻🌳

And icy treats.

@BrambleBearWhuffling oh ack, i'm sorry. and yes, always hard to remember the things that help when they're needed! (or at least i find this: my brain just goes blank)
i hope they help though and that things settle and stay settled 🌿☀️🌳

BramblyBearWhuffling 4d ago

@moonrabbit ♥️No worries, it is not too awful bad. I'm just tired of chewing on raw garlic by itself and slurping on oregano oil. They are both so much better in spaghetti and chilli.

Yes, brains often checkout when we most need them.

If I can remember to do all the things several times a day for 7-10 days it would probs stop coming back.
