Thanks Don!

hey friends,

I'm moving to a different instance. :)

You all move with me, but my posts don't, apparently. So nothing you have to do! Just thought I'd let you know.

I'll be at @mastodon.art

Why Creativity Thrives in the Dark: Scientific props for all you fellow night writers out there! "Darkness triggers a chain of interrelated processes, including a cognitive processing style, which is beneficial to creativity." https://gointothestory.blcklst.com/why-creativity-thrives-in-the-dark-e2f952f352be #creativity #writing

OMG. This is definitely the queer joy I needed.

2 women in a French old people's home got married after being closeted for ages😍😭

"""
That day, during the meal, we were talking about gay marriage. And Liliane and Andrée came to ask us if it was actually possible to do that in real life. They had thought that same-sex marriage was only possible on TV. … We told them it was possible. And a few minutes later, Andrée proposed to Liliane in front of us.

Well, I found a used rolling press. And, reader, I bought it.

Happy holidays to me!

I am now on a buying things embargo because I don't want to buy a holiday present out from under someone. (When you buy used, it's possible. There's a lot of churn from the rich but you want the good stuff to be shared.)

tomorrow, I cook!
the traditional day of pie!
the traditional day of cranberry sauce!
the traditional day of trying to cut an acorn squash in half!

(begin quote)

"Let's get something straight. Growing old doesn't make people #conservative. In fact the more marginalized identity statuses a person has, the LESS conservative they grow over time.
The reason we equate "old" with "conservative" is that #marginalization kills people off younger.

Some of the most radical people you know are old.

It's just a lot of others died before they could get there, so there's a diminishing proportion. (2/5)

Trying to decide if I should use the wooden box I bought (it's very, very cool) for a chuck box for camping (someday, not quite ready) or if I should just turn it into the place all the lino print supplies live. They're sort of everywhere at the moment.
I'm going to say this again - my white friends who aren't racists do not mind me talking about racism. If you find yourself disturbed by or uncomfortable with topics on racism, you may want to tell yourself some hard truths. And then, work on your findings. You may be racist.
