Mastodon FeedRecent books.
Despite the evidence presented by the OSHA-violating precarious tower of books on my desk, it seems like I read kind of an embarassingly small number of books this year. Of those, here are the ones that I enjoyed, in desk-stack order. [...]
I gave up on writing book reviews a while ago, but I have a story about 1984. [...]

- Oil painting of an elderly elven lady. She sits by a tree with her arm outstretched and collects amber in her wicker basket. She is wearing simple brown clothes with an oil painting of an elderly elven lady. She has a cheerful and serene expression on her face. She kneels by a tree with her arm outstretched and collects amber in her wicker basket. She wears simple brown clothes with a blue headscarf. She has a large wooden hat on her head on which mushrooms and grass are growing. On her back you can see long blue feathers instead of hair. In the background you can see large clouds heralding a thunderstorm and in the foreground the picture is framed by two trees and a dark meadow. (remote)
- Detail from an oil painting with a portrait of an old woman smiling and long elven ears. (remote)

Jimmy Carter was an actual good man in politics. A radical by todays standards.
Fuuuuuuuccccck all these politicians who never respected him when he was an alive pretending he’s their guiding light now that he’s dead.
If you want to know what it looks like when centrists co-opt a revolutionary, listen to our politicians this week.

With the understanding that some people will and do call it a waste of time, another highlight of my year was getting the #Plushtodon out into the world. I didn't want to just make another soulless piece of merch to tick off a box. I wanted to create a toy, a friend, that would rival anything you could get at a toy store. It brings me joy seeing that people seem to appreciate the effort.

The Material You redesign of our Android app came out quite early in the year but it's another highlight. I maintain that it must be one of the most beautiful apps on Android. The design is so clean. And the whole app is just 5MB. It makes me wish I had an Android phone. @samhenrigold and @grishka really hit it out of the park.

I think one of my professional highlights of this year was the moment @mike and I came up with the fediverse:creator tag over lunch in San Francisco, and the subsequent implementation with my team. I love seeing that feature in action, besides being useful for discovery it just looks so nice.

@bkardell @Meyerweb @igalia I wish all browser vendors would recognize that developers want to build real applications on the Web, as the Web platform has the greatest potential reach of all platforms. But for this, developers need powerful APIs and browser choice. Put these powerful features behind whatever scary prompting UI or additional opt-in browser settings the user needs to activate manually, but please, please implement them.
