Transphobia in chess is surprising, considering they love it when their lowly foot soldiers transition to queen.

✒️ Volodya is dead. Vladimir Lensky, my sister’s fiancé, my friend, my soul. Slain by a man he loved, and who loved him, and who I should no longer love. But Eugene is gone, his house is empty. Olga left with her new husband. I did not know her anymore. I’m alone.

«Ritorna vincitor» from Verdi's opera Aida, dedicated to my beloved father Dale Hart. Aida was the last role he had seen me sing. He died on this day, the 23rd of May, in 2021. On his deathbed, he asked me to sing for him, and I sang him arias from Tosca, La bohème, and La forza del destino. I sang for him until his last breath.

Does anyone know how do style text in a post?

I’m currently using the web interface of mastodon.social [edit: on Apple devices] —
Do I need to use an app, or switch instances, or a different Fediverse alternative?

I don’t really need much, I would be okay with just bold and italics.

A blackbird is running around on the ground outside my window. Guess he’s looking for worms. He would have gone unnoticed by the cats, but he just won’t shut UP!! He is constantly commenting his every move with adorable little chirpy noises. I’m glad he trusts the window pane to provide protection, because he has a very attentive audience that is out to kill him. There’s a social media metaphor hidden in here I guess.

Lying about your height for booking records should be admissible as a confession about your character.

Super busy with tech week rehearsals of Les Contes d'Hoffmann at the Staatstheater Darmstadt, but Maestro Daniel Cohen and I took some time to set up a little apple and honey station in the canteen. We want everyone to have a sweet Rosh Hashanah!

So, I got this email from SoundCloud, and I have never felt so happy about a bogus copyright claim – their bot thinks I sound like Leontyne Price!

Today I learned that my MacBook was loud and burning hot not because it's old and I keep dropping it off the sofa, but because of the felt my cats installed on the fan!

“You come to me and you say, 'Donna Suma, give me Cuddles.'
But you don't ask with respect, you don't offer friendship; you don't even think to call me Catmother.
Instead, you come into my hideout and you ask me to do canoodle — for snacks”
