My listening through the embers of the year is the new 12-part BBC audio adaptation of Susan Cooper’s THE DARK IS RISING, with a new episode each day. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w13xtvp7
[it must be time for @neilhimself’s annual reminder that you can listen to BBC Radio anywhere in the world]
One of the benefits of #Mastodon being #OpenSource: The EU can help make it more secure.
"Awards of up to EUR 5000 are available for finding security vulnerabilities in LibreOffice, LEOS, Mastodon, Odoo and CryptPad, open source solutions used by public services across the European Union. There is a 20% bonus for providing a code fix for the bugs they discover."

I have been genuinely baffled by the cries to put self-promotion behind a CW since I started using Mastodon in earnest this fall.
I know that everyone uses social media differently, but I want to know what people are working on. I want to know about new books or albums or apps or podcasts or whatever. I want to know who is looking for help via crowdfunding.
I care about the whole person, not a persona they're forced into by arbitrary rules.

Decided to share my "journey to the Passage Grave" winter solstice meditation journey here. I've been doing this for many years now. I first posted this version to my PiFo about 2 years ago.

Enjoy 😊

Writers are taught not to write wish-fulfillment—it's too easy, boring, or low stakes. But that reasoning is wrong. It only seems that way because we've all already read thousands of wish-fulfillment stories about cis het able-bodied white males, so they're very... predictable.
For every other demographic?
Readers actively, desperately crave wish-fulfillment stories about themselves, because they rarely if ever see them.
A few more #introduction-type posts...the project that resulted in my suddenly having an art career (!) was the reconstruction of a trilobite, a Ceraurus species, from fossil evidence, in bronze and silver. Nerdist somehow found my progress posts on FossilForum and wrote a lovely article...

@Supership79 this post breeched containment and I've seen screenshots of it making the rounds on several local queer orgs
which is wild considering Mastodon doesn't really seem to have viral posts and yet this has already gone to screenshots on fb of all places
Due to high server load, we have decided to close registrations and invites for the time being. For your friends who want to join the fediverse, please direct them to https://furryfediverse.org where they can find other furry servers!
We currently have no estimation for when registrations will reopen, as we need to first ensure the stability of the server.
