For what it's worth for folks, I'm going to try to migrate this to my primary, mostly because @ElectricKeet is actually on here, and she's awesome and I enjoy being in her proximity. So if you're following @literorrery, please consider following me over here 'cause that's gonna get real quiet real fast. Also, consider giving Keet some love (not that she's secretly a changeling or anything. I.don't.think.I.know.any.changelings.not.that.there's.anything.wrong.with.that. =@.@=)
Exciting. Hey, mastodon.social admins, the Redirect URL I get when trying to log in via Tusky seems to be busted. Tested with different instances, they work. Login works fine via web and mobile, but the redirect is down, so the app's no-joy right now.
.... got that awful feeling of "hey, I've already solved this problem in code at work. It wouldn't be hard to log in to grab my build.gradle and see how I solved it there. That would be faster than trying to solve it again from scratch." That would also involve touching work systems at home.
... I made a project plan and I created a Gradle project. That's progress, right?

GENTLE REMINDER:

I've started a funding campaign to get me some debt relief and a letter for surgery. Please boost if you can. <3 #TransCrowdFund

an Objective Reality might exist, but that's not the world we as people actually live in. The universe we experience is built inside our heads, out of mental language and implicit metaphor resulting from eons of evolution.

Our stories and narratives are important. Our metaphors shape our reality. Subjectivity matters.

And, if we want, our reality can be sculpted.

Design notes phase one written down. Much later than intended, but it's a first step. It's something concrete on which I actually want to work outside of office hours.
If we assume that sites like Twitter, Google, and Facebook are "damage to the internet" in the sense that they're impeding the goals of the people who want to use "the internet," then we need to start doing what "the internet" does and figuring out how to route around them. Mastodon is a good step in the right direction, changing how social media and federation works, but can we drive this model further?
