I'm excited for the next major release of Mastodon (4.2) that's coming soon. Half a year of UX improvements (that of course mastodon.social users are already benefiting from). More details to follow.

My children heard the term “drag racing” for the first time this morning. As usual, when they say “what’s that?” I have them first guess what it might mean based on context clues and knowing roots and such

Friends, their idea is so much better than what drag racing actually is! Their idea: Drag performers in full dress, racing go-karts

Today is the 15th anniversary of the day when Katie and I incorporated XOXCO. We made a lot of stuff!

Chooms... we did it.

I printed my first ever zine yesterday! All about Mastodon! And how it's the best! And how everyone should join!

@dona did a wonderful job with the art :blobfoxheart:​ @iffybooks is the coolest place ever and helped so much with printing. I legit can't wait to go back—

To answer those of you asking why we're not on Threads, it's because Meta says "2600" is an illegal user name. Not a good start.

Some... fucking.... shitass.

A message from the 1990s. Saw these guys live at a seedy metal bar called "The Ritz". The set was over when Stanley finally got so ripped he projectile vomited onto a pool table and fell off the stage.

ROCK AND FUCKING ROLL.

Your anti-Gospel is foretold by the following prophecy.

My Unspeakable EP drops on Tuesday. This was hinted at in some circles prior to dropping "Death Cult" on fedi late last week.

The EP contains the album version of the song, "Unspeakable", as well as four demo tracks spanning the past decade.

The cure for sonic sickness is heavy music.

The cure for religions stuck in hatred is rejection.

I intensely dislike it when a metal band tries to cater to conservatives...

Metal is an inherently anti-authoritarian artform.

If you are gonna play it... you better be ready to take up the message for the disenfranchised and the powerless, center it, and use that thunder to punch up.

No, I will not be taking questions at this time.

Hey #3dprinting people, I hear you may like a #klipper expander mount for the Ender 3 Pro to Switchwire conversion.

I made a calendar heat map type thing that shows all the stuff I’ve aggregated and gives you a sense of my life as an internet poster. A green square means I posted at least one thing (and that I’ve been able to scrape that thing down into my archive)

A scrolling calendar starting at 1998 and going through 2023 with lots of green squares

If anyone in central #Kentucky has any leads on a set of 6 matching office chairs for cheap let me know. If your office is remodeling or you see something out and about hit me up. Looking for soft comfy chairs (so upholstered, not plastic, with a soft back as well), ideally rolling but that's less important, and no arms (or removable arms). I'm bound to eventually find someone getting rid of a set of chairs from an office, conference room, waiting room, whatever.

Thanks to @maddiefuzz and @liz, I have a Gemini capsule here in the Town. And because I have a Gemini capsule, I wanted to do something with it. But, because it's a Gemini capsule, it's likely that only nerds will read it.

So what do?

Yes, I started a blog about some FOSS library software I'm working on. If you have the interest, point your Gemini browsers to:
