seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

Sigh.

New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”

Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”

New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”

Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”

New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”

Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

Good day from this humble #needlefelted snail on a bright green #wetfelted leaf…moving along, slow and steady. Eventually, this pair will become a lid for a wet felted vessel.

Call-out for some technical guidance.

My blog is harmony-seeker.com and I would love readers to be able to subscribe and receive an email whenever I publish a new post. At the moment I do not know how to set this up.

If anyone here has experience adding email subscriptions to a blog, I would really appreciate your advice. Ideally I’m looking for something straightforward to manage and screen-reader accessible. I'm using WordPress.

If you have suggestions, please reply or message me.

I heard stories of people who've fed crows, and been given gifts in return. It sounded charming, so I began doing that.

Then, one night, there was a rapping on my bedroom window. I stumbled up and opened.

A crow flew in and spoke: "They're coming for you. You must flee."

I only just made it out.

Chad has closed its border with Sudan amid repeated incursions by the RSF, which Déby has been accused of backing - claims he denies. For this week's @thecontinent, I highlight what this means for his legitimacy, the cohesion of the military and political elite and the humanitarian catastrophe.

Are you lot going to get on with WWIII? We're going to survive, you know. 🪳

PS - You're out of sugar.
