This is my Sharkey account. I'm also on Mastodon. And Pixelfed.

I will probably use this account to write slightly longer posts about fun stuff like gaming, TV, film, etc.

My avatar image is an artwork by Ukrainian artist Lyubov Panchenko. Description: "A stylised painting of a woman, facing the viewer, but looking to the right. A man with a black moustache stands beside her, facing left. She has red flowers in her hair, and a long thick braid of hair flows down across her chest. The painting is made in very bright, vivid, warm colours - lots of reds and yellows. Much of the figures are drawn in flowing, curvy shapes, almost reminiscent of ribbons."

Oh, fuck yeah. That's better. I went into my settings here on Sharkey and made the post field have a higher min height, because the 90px it is set to was soooo damn cramped. I might have gone a little extra putting it to 250px, and I can always go back and edit it later, but this is so much better. 90px at my font size mean it was like maybe five lines of text? I'm a wordy bitch, I need room to work, especially so I can actually look back and proof read what I just wrote.

If I write a novel of a post, and have to attempt to scroll back through it five lines at a time, my ADHD is gonna kick in and I'm just gonna post that bitch and then go back and edit it five times as I see typo after typo each time I look after editing. >.<

picard,

@deathkitten Where? I can't find it. I also desperately want to increase the preview height.

Is anyone running/updating a list of servers to block in the current spam wave.

I have seen a few but they are out of date by a few days. I can add another 8 servers today so far! I'm happy to contribute to an open list, or create one.

picard,

@bumble This is the only one I've come across:

https://mastodon.de/@ErikUden/111954222362376457

Seems to have been updated in the last 90 minutes (the joy of Mastodon beeping when posts are edited)

There's 111 in the csv (and a plain txt too)

picard,

@bumble It sounds like a big old mess. Thanks for all your hard work keeping us safe.

From what I gather it was just a couple of juveniles having a fight over something. Unless I got totally the wrong end of the stick!

An interesting topic for this weeks’ entry Past, Present and Future must include Sam Cooke’s A Change Gonna Come, but this video pairs it with scenes from the movie Malcolm X

picard,

@SocialSpirit That's really effective with that video accompaniment!

Sarah Denzil's One for Sorrow. Diving into this psychological thriller before moving on to my planned holiday read: Legends and Lattes.

What book are you planning to immerse yourself in this holiday season? I'd love to know so I can also add them to my TBR list. 😊

@bookstodon

picard,

@faticake @luthien1126 To be fair that is one amazing cover.

And now we have a release date: 19 December.

Not long to go!
