echoes of Invisible Cities and Hard-Boiled Wonderland, I meant to say.
Finished Accabadora by Michaela Murgia -- thanks @zacchiro . Started The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Murakami -- multiple mentions of #fountainpens in the first 30 pages and echoes of Invisible Cities so of course I'm happy.

Oh right EmacsConf is happening right now isn't it? https://emacsconf.org/2024/watch/

Where's the best analysis (especially legal) of a president posting public communications from a platform he owns / has a profit interest in / controls access/terns to?
#GivingTuesday may be done, but the work for freedom and autonomy with mobile devices is definitely not -- a great way to support that work is by making a donation to @fdroidorg : https://f-droid.org/2024/12/03/giving-tuesday.html
Please put your #fountainpen #Inkvent and #Colorvent spoilers behind cut warnings, thanks!

I am not myself a fountain pen guy, but I know my following well enough to know there will be some interest in an auction of exceptionally expensive fountain pens. https://www.bonhams.com/auction/30890/the-art-of-writing-a-collectors-rarities/

Time for an #introduction... again!
My name is Christine Lemmer-Webber, I'm co-author/co-editor of the ActivityPub standard which connects together the fediverse (Mastodon, Peertube, Sharkey, GotoSocial, etc). In other words, I'm one of several people who worked on the specification by which you're getting this very message!
I'm also Executive Director of the Spritely Institute! We're making next-generation decentralized tech https://spritely.institute
I moved here from @cwebber@octodon.social! Hello again!
She also measured the vermouth using the vermouth bottle cap. Clearly, hates doing dishes. But it was a good drink!
"He's an arsonist who has lost his matches." -- why I read every review in the NYT Book Review by Dwight Garner even if I have no interest in the book.

@chrisjrn And I learned that my junk ISP router won't allow me to even temporarily turn off encryption. So much kindness.
I would really like to know how/when Debian uninstalled wpasupplicant on this box, and how I didn't notice. This is up there with when Debian installed exim4 without me noticing and proceeded to silently swallow all of my outgoing mail for a week. But I love Debian.
