Miller knitter organic veg gardener wife and mother, likes spinning wool now too. The internet once was promising but now is the dirty right hand of capitalism.

oyeah, the new account (other instance) is approved. now to find out how to proceed. Will be continued!
mccHere is the thing you have to understand about VCs (and therefore, companies and websites that have accepted VC money), always and forever. Repeat it like a mantra.
--- Venture capitalists do not invest in the company. Venture capitalists invest in the exit. ---
Eventually any site, app whatever has a Sell Out Moment. They get bought by a big established corp, they go IPO, something. There is an "Exit". If you accept VC money, you are *promising* that Exit day is coming and it will be *big*.

time to move to a smaller instance. if you can recommend an instance, i would be glad to hear it!
calcifer 🧯Humans survive primarily in communities. If your idea of “doomsday prepping” is taking your immediate family away to survive on your own, that’s actually hilarious
You want to be prepped for shit to hit the fan? Build supportive, close-knit communities and develop and teach skills that benefit said community
Joshua WoodIf you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏
Eternal, MajestyI just finished restoring this handsaw. I got it this summer at a yard sale and it was in pretty rough shape (I didn't get a "before" shot, oops). I straightened the blade, cleaned up a lot of surface rust, leveled and sharpened the teeth, and put some oil and wax finish on the handle. It cuts nicely and feels really good in the hand.
If anyone knows what kind of saw it is specifically, or what its intended uses are, I'd love to hear about it.

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,
"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."
