My favourite knitting technique? Hands down, it's Norwegian Purl. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpqAdF1vepA ) As a Continental knitter, it's a game-changer - purl stitches become a dance, rather than a stumble.

Sometimes when I’m having a particularly lousy day, I say “Computer, end program.” You know, just in case.

I booked an hour massage appointment with the #HareBNB wellness studio. They finished it off with a deep back ear rub. I am putty in her hands! Five stars, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. They also have a two for one chin and pantaloon rub on right now for guineas… -Skye 💕 #SkyeLove

The Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy. It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.

Twitter: I follow news and political giants, but all I see are bad people and arguments
Bluesky: I follow 10% of my old friends who were able to get out of twitter in time and sometimes it works
Threads: I follow my friends but I can’t see them through the algorithm of businesses
Mastodon: oh look a beekeeper in the Netherlands

Thirteen years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

A few winter wonderland images from an epic day in Epping Forest earlier this winter.

Being so vast at well over 5,000 acres, Epping has almost unlimited potential to make images.

I love seeing how this place changes with the weather and seasons, but I'm still only scratching the surface of this wonderful woodland.

The only 2 items left on my bucket list are "roam unsupervised in a zoo at night time" and "become large and powerful enough to destroy the moon"

In case you missed it, you do not need to use the official Mastodon app! Third party Mastodon apps tend to have more features, and many people prefer them.

Mastodon uses free open source technical standards, so all apps have equal access to all of Mastodon's features.

There are lots of third party Mastodon apps, here are a few examples to get you started:

If you're on Android, try Tusky, Fedilab or Tooot

If you're on iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes or Ivory
