ok this is such a fucking long shot but here goes.

does anyone work at Steamboat Springs?

my wife has a hat she loves from working there, it's a black flat brim baseball cap with brown brim and a brown steamboat patch, and it has "staff" embroidered on the side.

well, she had a hat. our dog just got to it and now it's pretty damn wrecked.

if anyone out there is able to get me a Steamboat staff hat - even if it doesn't match this description exactly - I will love you forever and happily pay for hat and shipping.

today’s #AltTxt #yaddayadda brought to you by the Hampton Institute, because #ecocide is #genocide :

❝ The rich can no longer be tamed. They are way too far gone in their own worlds, too entitled, too convinced they've "earned" (and therefore *deserve* their wealth) & would rather burn the entire planet & kill off 5 billion people than give up that wealth. We need to realize this. ❞

🧵 Bonjour à tou·te·s ! 👋

Nous souhaitions vous informer que cette première exploration de mastodon par notre groupe de structures culturelles est une réussite ! L'accueil que vous nous avez réservé, votre soutien, et tous les échanges qui en découlent sont très enthousiasmants.

Nous ne savions pas à quoi nous attendre lorsqu'on a démarré cette expérimentation il y a 9 mois et vous nous avez à chaque fois agréablement surpris. Merci déjà pour cela ! 1/x

Have you seen this news?

#Mastodon just got funding to add end to end encryption into their software.

So, some time next year, you’ll be able to send truly private messages to the vast majority of the #Fediverse

Im so excited about this.

Because it’s an open spec, this opens the doors for every Fediverse app to join the party.

Yesterday, this project was a proof of concept. Today, Mastodon has turned it into a stampede.

If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take it down.

A University of Delaware study analyzed nearly 14,000 insects killed by zappers over one summer. Mosquitoes accounted for less than 1%. The other 99%? Moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and other beneficial insects.

It's even worse than it sounds: mosquitoes find you by carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your zapper is completely invisible to them.

Meanwhile it's running all night massacring the pollination night shift.
