My mother and her niece. You can vaguely see my mom's hoop earrings. What a vibe.

Let me tell you something about #Y2K fashion. My NYC cousins were always fashionable. Look at that cordless phone.

Bronx NY—This is me at age 18, wearing my favorite Phat Farm t-shirt with my favorite Uncle. We're lucky to still have him at age 87. He still walks three miles everyday and is the reason I love walking so much.

I got the first batch of 25-year old disposable cameras in. We discovered it was our family trip to NYC to visit cousins and uncles.

The age of the film is apparent in all the photos, but we're so lucky to have them. My mom immediately broke down into tears. Time comes for us all.

Here are a few of the better ones:

When people say "#Mastodon is like early Twitter," they often refer to the absence of algorithmic amplification & ads or the functionality set. But what makes it like early #Twitter in my opinion, isn't that.

It's that the #Fediverse enables you to easily connect with real, awesome humans from anywhere: makers, celebrities, community leaders, top experts in their fields. Just tag them with an honest post and you'll have wonderful interactions such as this one. 🤩

📷 It’s official!!

VSCO, one of the apps/products I’ve been using for the longest time, is organizing a Photo Walk in Lisbon (https://www.instagram.com/p/DQj7JEzkSYt/). The first one outside the US. Guess who’s thrilled, honored, and a little nervous to be hosting it? Yup.

Care to join (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vsco-photo-walk-lisbon-tickets-1902712587569)? It would mean the world!

One of the (many) frustrating parts of trying to use free/open source tools for writing is that too many of them don’t realise that Oxford English spelling and British English spelling aren’t the same thing.

This is more common in the “trendier” corners of open source.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I'm giving a talk in November at #SFSCon about building Tŵt Cymru, and I was just adding the session to my calendar when I realised...

It's on #DefaidodonDay #DyddDefaidodon !!!

I am now going to have to figure out how to incorporate the hashtag into the presentation, and I expect everyone to pile in with their #SheepOfMastodon on the day.

I think I'll do a grand finale and load the FediWall up on a screen, assuming I have a screen behind me.

A weird milestone in adapting Emacs to more of what I currently do with Ulysses: adding a "copy as rich text" function which takes Markdown (or Org!) text and puts the rich text version on the clipboard. This is very Mac-specific, although I think it could be adapted to Linux.
