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!

@proactivebusybody I'm pretty sure one of those is a guy in a sweater, not moss, or a troll, or lava. I could be wrong

@dcm I mean, I had to include that photo of my husband in his new lopapeysa. He is standing in the moss-covered lava field, so I think it counts.

@dcm @MarieLouiseSRas Beautiful! I’m a knitter, but I’m an adhd knitter who can’t finish big projects, so I go for 1-3 skein projects. I bought some wool for some hand warmers.

@proactivebusybody @dcm Thanks, I’m quite pleased with it😊 I usually knit smaller projects- socks, mittens and stuff like that.

@proactivebusybody is that why the trolls in Frozen look like they do
Show thread✨ Abby ✨Nov 13, 2022
@WizardOfDocs Probably. I think a lot of the lore from Iceland begins in the unusual shapes of the terrain.

@proactivebusybody The moss on the lava fields are so squidgy too. I remember lying down on the ground - it was like a squidgy natural bed. 😁 Love that #mosstodon is an actual tag.

@kavey We drove by in the evening, and I dropped a pin. When we got where we were going, I looked it up and realized it was actually this really neat thing, so we worked out how to go on the way back.

@curiouswilds I think that's something that comes with Mastodon. 4.0, and I think it depends on the instance you're using.
