Since it's now #BandcampFriday I have pushed the big "release album" button on my Novembeat collection for 2022, at https://sockpuppet.bandcamp.com/album/novembeat-2022-original-soundtrack
But if you don't have a lot of my music already, maybe consider getting my full discography! It's pretty cheap, at $45 for over 20 years' worth of music releases, and I have a lot of music in a lot of different styles. Some of it is even kinda-sorta good, I think. Or at least that's what people tell me sometimes.
Anyway XOXO happy friday
It's snowing here. Have a snowy thing. ❄️
one of my favorite things is when someone uses an emoji representing their special interest as a general "love" emoji.
i have one baker friend that uses 🍞 for everything, and i work with a guy who is a volunteer steam locomotive engineer on the weekends - he uses 🚂 as his general positive reaction.
i love it!
re: Mastodon CSS question.
Okay, so I found a few key background elements that I can change together to get enough of a color change that I'm unlikely to post on the wrong account again. That's the hope, anyhow!

Hello, if you want to make a post about a bad person known to public discourse, you should just spell out their actual name.
Why?
If its not a hashtag, its not searchable, so you are not protecting yourself from dogpiling.
If I don't want to see posts about Lord Voldemort, I'll have his name in my mute list. I don't want to have to make a million variations to deal with your *s or weird phrases and (implicitly) asking that i do this is too much. The more the person is inflammatory, the more your respelling is aggressively mute-dodging. (I'm not talking about accidental misspellings. People shouldn't feel like they need perfect spelling to discuss difficult subjects.)
If you are so concerned about naming somebody, put it under a descriptive CW: "the 45th president of the US", " Historical Nazis" etc, but use their actual name in the post.
anyway I put way too much effort into this, enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6_AH4taMXE

Cute girl: So. Before we proceed. How do you feel about Marx?
Me (nervous): Umm look I guess I'm a socialist but I don't really know enough about the political theory behind it
Her: ...
Me: I'm sorry

Her: Marks. Can I leave marks on your skin
