My little niece got a mobile phone and as her godfather I want to send some silly cartoon/dad joke every day. So if you have some good ideas appropriate for a young teen that is learning english, would love to see them in a reply. Much appreciated.

Looking for cool retro computing images (portrait) to print and hang on the wall of the retro room but all I get is AI slop. I need some human recommendations! Old ads that are mostly visual, artistic photography. I'd happily pay as well, as long as it doesn't involve sending money to the US etc...

Please boost for reach?

@nantucketlit your beautiful postcard arrived! I am not sure how long it has been since I received something that was typed. Now I am sorely tempted to start looking for one myself; my Dearly Departed Dad had an electric Olivetti but I may never have used a pure mechanical one.

@asakiyume what delightful #poetry ! As someone who does not tend to look down on the weed it strikes a chord. Adaptable, joyous, generous. Insightful ways to describe those plants which have a right to grow.

I have also updated my mail-order form. You can always find the latest order form (PDF) at https://nantucketlit.com/orderform

I think it's important to offer this option. Some people may not want to give payment, billing, and shipping info to a payment processor. Checks and money orders also save me the card-processing fee.

So, you can reach me by mail at:

I love receiving mail from folks.

If you want just one postcard to see what it's all about, I will mail you one for free.

Stripe: Turn on donations to fight climate change.

Here's a thought: Don't hype up "AI" at your conferences. Those data centers are hardly good for climate change.

And how about a web dashboard that isn't so CPU-intensive?

@juliancday or have them sent out on your behalf? @nantucketlit is doing just that:
"This year, I'm mailing out postcards with poetry and micro-fiction on them. I have quite a few subscribers already. I'm looking for more writers, and I pay for work."

Do you like postcards? I'll mail you one of my postcards for free. The postcards have beautiful stories and poems from fediverse writers, and color art on the front. The latest card has The Blessing of the Weeds by @asakiyume, and the next one has a story by @amin.

I use a manual typewriter to make these postcards, and I date-stamp them at the post office.

#coffee and #gardening people!

I've got a good solid pint of used coffee grounds at this point. I thought I'd try to get them to a community garden as composting. What else could I do with the grounds?
