We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

Hello, world! 👋 From now on, Mastodon is our preferred social media channel. It's an open source, decentralised platform – not controlled by tech giants. Follow us here: https://t.co/KZpwR61V5R

The Fediverse has its own alternative to Twitch called OwnCast, a live streaming platform with built-in chat system.

You can follow OwnCast accounts from Mastodon etc and they will post in your timeline when they go live. You can also sign into OwnCast chat using your Mastodon etc account.

More info at:

If you want to get started, I've just posted some good OwnCast accounts to follow over at @FediFollows

I suppose. Like, is it only for current projects? Can it be for past work? I'm a slow writer. Do ppl use templates for their posts? I think one reason I shut away from participating is the fear of "doing it wrong."

Somewhere along the way, I lost the thread.

I let the other side frame the debate, making my identity all about sex.

I forgot that my identity as a gay man didn’t rest on sex, or sexuality, and it took a beautiful song to remind me.

I was scanning through my Mastodon feed and ran across a video from 2021, made during the heart of the pandemic – a song called Boys Who Like Boys by an openly gay singer named Eli Lieb. Intrigued, I clicked on the link...

A #story in 2 acts:

Act 1: I called my mom to wish her a happy 50th wedding anniversary. I was proud of myself for remembering, especially since I don't have it in my calendar. My mom always crowed about how she and my dad got married on the #WinterSolstice, i.e., the shortest day of the year which is also the longest night *wink wink*

Act 2: Today I learned it's my mom and dad's 51st wedding anniversary.
