Thank you.

Come work with us! We're hiring a Technical Administrator! https://spritely.institute/news/come-work-with-us-hiring-a-technical-administrator.html
Become a part of internet history! This position is unusual in that it calls for a combination of administrative work with some technical work. Effectively, this position is to shadow / assist the Executive Director in their duties and help organize and execute the mission of the organization. Due to the nature of our organization, this position requires running a Linux distribution and using Emacs as your editor (vim users are welcome to apply by using Spacemacs, etc); it does not require full experience using these tools but does require a self-motivated learner who is enthusiastic about learning.
Sounds like you? Consider applying! Direct link to job posting: https://spritely.institute/jobs/2024-09-12-technical-administrator.html

Good morning and happy Thursday #Fediverse
It's a new day, so let's all discuss what our day has in store for us.
Today is just another day of training/orientation for me at this new job. Not really sure yet how I feel about it and where it's heading, but we shall see I guess.
Nothing else planned after the work day, so we'll take it as it comes.
Captured this image on our daily morning walk. Such a beautiful sunrise this morning.

This is probably the closest thing to actual journalism I've ever done.
You know the "creator-owned" streaming service Nebula? The one that content creators frequently refer to as "my streaming service Nebula" when advertising it?
Something about that always felt off to me so I did some digging to find the actual ownership structure of the company.

Again. Please refrain from calling venture capitalists "little curly tailed data piggies," and never, ever make an "oink oink" noise when you do it.

- A large moth with its wings folded perched on the side of a support plank in a wooden bench, my hand is under the moth for scale. It looks about as long as one of my fingers and about an inch and a half at the widest part of the closed wings. Its patterns are mottled grey, black and brown, very similar to the wood of the bench it’s on and has a big raised patch at the back of its head. It’s front legs have a big floof section at the beginning next to the huge round black right eye that’s visible (remote)

That's the world as Elon Musk and his cohort want it; Mars colonization is just a pretext."

I have received numerous requests for more Fishy pictures, so here's one from today. Please feel free to comment your favorite thing about Fishy and I will read it to him. He may not be fluent in English, but I believe he has a basic understanding of the language. He just chooses to ignore words such as "don't eat that", "get off the counter", and "please stop biting me".
