Finding myself just completely overwhelmed by grief at the moment about what we* have done to the world, and what the world is losing.

I keep on thinking about not just people but animals and plants everywhere suffering and dying in silence, entirely innocent in all this. And just want to say sorry to all, the whole time.

*"We" here not meaning all of humanity. But I do include myself amongst those who I hold responsible. From rich North, Gen X, etc.

    @robyn Any with the in satisfies this criteria. I'm always slightly offended when someone uses fast parrot or conga parrot, which both feel mocking and sarcastic.

    I shall henceforth only send negative, or at the very least hella confusing, that cannot be misconstrued as agreeing to something:

    Just a heads-up, the iPhone/iPad app is no longer being maintained. The lead developer had to take a break due to health issues.

    If you want a good iPhone/iPad Mastodon app, try Toot! (more info: https://fedi.tips/toot-for-iphone-ipad/) or Ice Cubes (more info: https://fedi.tips/ice-cubes-for-iphone-ipad/) or Ivory or one of many other nice Mastodon apps now available.

    Metatext may still come back in some form, community developers are currently testing a new fork, but it's not quite ready yet.

    Lots of by-the-wind sailors on the beach this morning. They're always a treat because it's so unusual to see something in nature that is so blue. (They are even bluer than it appears here.)
    And when you see one, you know there will be many others.

    Really, all emoji are thus in origin 🤔

    So stopped accepting new flags ☠️

    And put a hold on new emoji proposals untill 2024

    They may be re-examining the proposal process to encourage less “useless” , and more ones people will want? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    The most popular are faces, hands and hearts, so going for those will likely grab people’s attention, if that’s what you want

    If you want something less smiley (wait, why use ? 😹)

    🔙 maybe?

    The emotion ones work to at least indicate gratitude 🙏🏼 or appreciation for intelligence 🤓 (stereotype, but hey, I wear glasses)

    The other ones may require explanation, so an indicator of a footnote might require a footnote?

    I find the least used emojis almost as interesting as the most used ones

    Flags are the least used category

    Like source for a quote? An annotation/attribution/footnote?

    Good question 🤔

    I like to use 🤓 and then a link back to the source of anything smart

    Or 🙏🏼/😊 to show thanks for somebody bringing something to my attention (like: link to article or image or whatever, then 🙏🏼/☺️ and the person’s name or tag

    I’m co-hosting this event with the Malaysia Design Archive and Ilham Gallery. Register here: https://forms.gle/TS5NPbxZeStABch27

    It’s both kids and adults friendly – and everyone will fill out a half workbook half coloring book zine together 📝

    A cover of a zine called The Hanmoji Workbook adorns the bottom left. Coming out of the zine is a speech bubble that says “Fill me out please!” On the right of the zine is a cartoon pig dressed up as a Classical Chinese scholar.
