How far back in time can you understand English?

It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.

"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."

New parent classes go on about breastfeeding and growth. All important stuff. But there's one huge parenting thing that they all leave out:

Throwing stuff away.

Children generate and accumulate so much crap. So, so much.

And as parents we're wracked with such guilt throwing any of it away - whether it's a finger drawing from nursery or a crappy Happy Meal toy.

Teach us to throw stuff away and you'll change our lives.

You voted for this slogan and now it's here! We have a new batch of super nice t-shirts (they're 100% organic cotton with a thick, soft feel) with a cute screen printed design from @dopatwo. "My friends are not for sale"—because your connections to other people are more than a bargaining chip for big tech companies to keep you from leaving them.

Excited to share our community vision for @Mastodon today: we are for the people.

This year our focus is on ensuring everyone can have a safe and fun experience on #MastodonSocial and #MastodonOnline, and doing more to support and celebrate the diverse servers running #Mastodon, its forks, and every #Fediverse application out there.
