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.

Great way to close @allthingsopen week: buy a pen 🖊️ from old friend @johns! Recommended stop for locals and visitors #AllThingsOpen
Bartender employing the very advanced "just kind of swirl the mixing glass around without using a spoon while walking around the bar" method of #cocktail construction. Next level.

This happened entirely by accident but apparently John is now matching #FountainPen , ink, and...tea.
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.

To my surprise, the Track Change podcast is not about document collaboration catastrophes.
Never thought I would have an opinion about club soda, but Food Lion is the worst club soda. All the other ones, probably fine.

The "mini" pen show is tomorrow! This is a "mini pen show" as in, 3 guest #fountainpen vendors plus door prizes and sales, but we also do have plenty of mini pens to show you. Details at https://www.crazyalansemporium.com/2024/07/24/saturday-july-27-mini-pen-show-at-crazy-alans-emporium/ . If you didn't get an email about it, you can join our mailing list at https://www.crazyalansemporium.com/newsletter/ .
I officially dislike the Sharpie S-Gel, which has managed to get ink on two pairs of pants on consecutive days, and on my notebook holder. And while it has a nice bold line, it's very fussy about paper and angle. Getting ink where it's not supposed to be is apparently not just a #fountainpen problem.
(But if you like the S-Gel, I'm still happy to sell you some.)
I believe I would gain 15 minutes per day if web establishments would stop trying to return search results while I'm typing.

Okay Caran d'Ache, why is it "6 Bicolor (no U) Colour (U) Pencils"?
