the peas got high enough to need staking up, so I tore down the netting ‘Quonset hut’ cover & built a new fence, then rebuilt the old netting cover up on top of the new fence. naturally, it has been raining the whole time. I’ll finish properly securing the netting cover when it is not raining... this will ‘do’ for a dsy or two.

Mastodon FeedWorking on my thesis, looking up some more references.. My brain "Hey, would be funny to create a remix of Faderheads 'All Black Everything', but change the lyrics to 'Dark Theme Everything'."

The single — the single — reason I still use Thunderbird on my desktop is the ability to not use the obsolete concept of the "Sent" folder. I want all of my email, including my replies, in the Archive, searchable from one place. Geary is almost ideal in its minimalism, but it, too, insists on breaking all conversation in two: my side and their side. Nobody needs that.

Also, HT to @mekkaokereke for prompting me to go read more about Alamo, Texas, Mexico and all related. I knew Alamo was a historical disgrace rather than the last stand of the will, but I didn't have a broader context about Mexico trying to free slaves and Texas trying to keep them.

Reading about Missouri Compromise of 1820[1].
One thing strikes me is that while it's customary complain about how America is divided these days, there's actually nothing new about it. Along with attempts of people on the wrong side of the history to foist false dichotomy by claiming equal representation in the argument.
"[R]equired California to send one pro-slavery senator to maintain the balance of power in the Senate."

Juneteenth (June 19th) is not a "holiday celebrating when news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas." No. Just no. Y'all make it sound like network latency! Like we were playing Fortnite, and all the Black players were lagging.🤡
Juneteenth is when the racist state of Texas took another very public L. Texas did everything it could to keep slavery going as long as possible. They gave up land to Oklahoma, so they could be below the slavery line. The Alamo was a victory for abolitionists.

How do I find the non-techy side of fedi
Serious question, I'm not a programmer (I *am* interested in tech stuff somewhat and I'm technically a UX designer but yeah) and yet almost everyone I interact with is programmers and usually German
I've been told that other people's feeds look very different from mine but I literally have no idea how to break into that side of fedi 💀

Hi, #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired Tooters. I have been offered a chance to meet with a high level member of GOogles accessibility team next week, to chat about ways for Google to engage more with the community of visually impaired people, as well as discuss existing accessibility bugs and requested features in various Google products. I’d love to include the feedback from folks over here as well, so feel free to reply to this post either privately or publicly, or email me at jakob@sparrowaccess.com.
Thanks!
