The Organised Chaos band will be performing at Hot Numbers, Gwydir St, Cambridge at 19:30 on 20 January 2023 with Peter Shepherd on piano, Bert Schilperoort on drums @jikahn on bass, and me on alto sax, possibly with another front line player TBD. In the spirit of Martin Kemp, our much missed friend and leader,, we'll have a few invited guests doing spots with us.
Please boost

Hey all, with the continued influx of Twitter people, I'm once again seeing a drop in the number of people who add alt text/image descriptions to what they post, denying access to many disabled users here.

Exactly how you do this varies by Mastodon client app, but it is usually just below the image once you upload & before posting.

Even a short-but-useful description is better than nothing—focus on what you're trying to get others to get from the image rather than describing every detail.

Am I the only person who thought this was a caterpillar at 1st glance?

Every time “Can’t you just” starts to come out of your mouth, that is a cue to:

1. STOP
2. repeat to yourself, “I do not understand”
3. and then listen.

Practice the habit in advance, so you’re ready in the moment. I’ve certainly found •I• have to. It is so hard to tame this unhelpful reflex! But it’s also possible.

I have just learned there is a #mosstodon hashtag here. I recently encountered some very cool moss covering the Eldhraun Lava Field in Iceland. The moss makes the lava look like trolls!

Wow. This needs to be read by everyone who joined Mastodon in the last week: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/

The fediverse is dealing with a huge wave of Twitter people bringing toxic ideas with them.
