Temporarily disabled (#MECFS), UXer when I’m working. I get overexcited about accessibility and design ethics. Knitting saves my sanity. GenXer. Living with one elderly greyhound and eleven opae ula shrimp.
She/her, #asexual, semigendered.

It's been a real busy day and I think most of you on mstdn.social has noticed we are almost an hour behind on the timelines..  

Past night around 11K new people joined mstdn.social via invite links and this was a little too much to handle  

So instead of running in circles, I have setup another public #Mastodon instance with the same rules as on mstdn.

To lighten the load on mstdn, perhaps some would care to migrate to the new instance?

1. Beautiful, intricately wispy clouds against a rich blue sky during my evening walk
ii. Finished *almost* everything I wanted to today
C. Delighted at how the #fediverse is taking off

I saw someone confuse etymology and entomology, and it bugged me in a way I couldn't put into words.

#3GoodThings

1. I did everything I hoped to today!
2. Gold sunlight through the yellow leaves still clinging to the trees
3. Resting now

1. Crunching through the fall leaves. I love fall so goddamn much
2. Rested enough this afternoon to pace myself
3. Tasty tasty mug of green tea

Is it just me or does Jack Dorsey’s new venture sound awfully like mastodon?
I appreciate this hopeful look at climate change. We've bent the curve down non-trivially, and the worst possible outcomes are now off the table. The shift to clean energy is happening much faster than was forecast by any major government or by the UN. Ukraine is likely to accelerate that substantially. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/10/26/magazine/climate-change-warming-world.html

There's plenty of bad news. But thanks to real progress, we're headed toward a less apocalyptic future.
