I just listened back to my BBC interview on air this morning, other than completely failing to say the words "toot dot wales" I think it went well, I'm at the 1 hour 43 minute mark in this replay:

@BabetteFfest and I were so happy to catch up with @jaz and @zeynep over lunch today.

Great people, great friends!

💙 Season’s greetings to all the Fediverse moderators, admins, and community builders.

Thank you for the time, care, and emotional labour you give to keeping online spaces safer, fairer, and more humane.

Wishing you rest, solidarity, and kindness over the holidays and into the new year.

And for everyone else... send your mods a note today! Let them know you appreciate them 💙

Shout out to @AusSocialMods as Australia makes it to Christmas. Thank you for dealing with all the stuff we never see, and especially for the last couple of harrowing weeks of #auspol.

To our wonderful Tŵt family and the wider Fediverse, whatever you celebrate - Nadolig, Hanukkah, Midwinter, Kwanzaa, or the simple joy of community - I wish you good tidings and a healthy new year!

Cymru is a land of many voices, and our dwti digital home is richer for its diversity.

May your timelines be kind and your new year bright.

Nadolig llawen a heddwch i bawb!

Driving to the airport my nose alerted me that I may have accidented a bottom burp.

"Particularly toxic", I observed.

As I was pondering both how I could possibly have formulated such an offensive odor within, and how I could have loosed the terror without even noticing, it was then I realised.

It wasn't me.

I was in New Jersey.

(The above toot is for the specific enjoyment of my Jersey girl wife. If you are a Garden State native, please note I have enjoyed camping in NJ many times.)

Flight is delayed so I'm working backwards (backwords?) through old Wordles.

Funny story, my wife and I play doubles (we switch out turns) and one time my wife put "LEUDS" as the start word and I scoffed "haha, not a word!".

It is a word, and now I religiously start every wordle with "LEUDS".

That is all.

Half-past November: a thread.

It's November o'clock and I won't be home til gone half past.

A lot will be happening in the next couple weeks, I will capture the best bits here.

Nothing humourous is occurring right now, so this toot is pretty bland. I hold out hope for this thread's future.

Ohhhh they just turned the lights out in the plane!

Mood update: Sthensthwell Activated.

Okay, seriously, should be taking off now.

TTFN.
