A financial planner I haven’t talked to in 20 years emailed to thank me for something I’d written on my blog which was super nice but they opened their email with “I just read your substack and it was wonderful” and now I’m a little mad to hear the nazi-loving email service is a generic phrase synonymous with “personal essays” in business people’s minds already.

@Codeberg Thanks for favoriting my toot that mentioned you😀 I emailed you a while ago because your registration system didn't like the @fastmail address I used to try to register. It would be great if your system accepted Fastmail email addresses, which are probably not spam because it is not free/gratis to use Fastmail. Thanks!

That thing on social media where you respond in good faith to someone, hoping to start a conversation, and you just get a sarcastic dismissive reply. Blocked.

@timrichards @vitaminsludge What I mean by "solve the problem" is I'm no longer bothered by them. I don't mind if they keep following me - I leave that decision up to them (the "sarcastic dismissive" replyer). someone means they can't follow you as discussed in https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#block

In a recent interview with @RollingStone, Stephen King revealed that he used to listen to Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5" while he worked. “My wife threatened to divorce me. I played that a lot. I had the dance mix. I loved those extended play things, and I played both sides of it," said the writer, who also discussed his new novel, "Holly," AI and COVID-19 in the wide-ranging interview. What do you listen to while you work?
