Been inspired to make a little more progress on the #Minecraft #cathedral we're building.

It is based loosely on the CathΓ©drale Notre-Dame de #Chartres including the labyrinth which @solcita designed and rendered. The build was my primary coping mechanism in the earlier part of the pandemic and as spoons allow, @solcita and I continue on it just as the pandemic continues.

It's worth noting that this world is a Survival world, and all of the diorite used to construct this cathedral is mined by hand. The floor is made of half-block and lit at intervals from beneath with torches lending to the criss-cross pattern visible. This is in part to prevent the spawning of mobs.

I wanted the impossible forever project, and it has not disappointed. πŸ™‚

In other news, some in-progress pictures of the cathedral that @glitch25.clacks.link.ap.brid.gy and I are building on our Minecraft (Survival, not Creative) server.

A message from Canadians:πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Dear 🌎 World:

There is no reason for Canada to even consider the possibility let alone discuss our position as a US state.

Let me quote our Prime Minister:

"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States," Trudeau "

And as a Canadian I am very annoyed whenever anyone brings up the possibility of us giving up our sovereignty.

I am not alone in feeling this, so please never ask again because some of us might not respond with a civilized reply.

Please boost this post--thanks

I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating. EVERY SINGLE TIME I've been part of a committee or decision-making body that was explicitly mandated to consider diversity as part of its process, it resulted in better, more thoughtful decisions and outcomes. EVERY TIME.

Diversity yields enormous, and often unexpected, benefits. And inclusion is not a zero-sum game.

"our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."

Diverse employees and suppliers have fostered

"creativity and innovation in the merchandise and services that we offer,"

98% of Costco shareholders agreed with the board.πŸ‘πŸΏ

Segregationists denied.

Segregationists are going to test each and every one of you, to see where your heart is at.

If they haven't tested you already, they will test you soon.

Do you know what you are going to say?

Costco shareholders overwhelmingly reject anti-DEI measure

More than 98% of Costco shareholders voted down an anti-DEI proposal Thursday at the company's annual shareholders meeting.
