A disabled friend has come to the realization that his beloved cat needs a different human. I’ll mostly share his description verbatim, with more pics in thread. Please let me know if you or someone you know might be Milo’s human—or boost if so inclined. 🙏🏼🧡 The friend will be moving to Colorado as soon as he can, and I might be making a trip to Oregon in mid-July, so any places between and including Sonoma County, California, and those locations could be doable.

I forgot my iShuffle (my music player of choice). Anybody want to share one or more songs to contribute to my playlist for the night? The kind of music I like is good music. (Use your best judgment based on your deep understanding of me and my musical tastes. 😁)

Gifs and videos don’t play for me on Mastodon. Anybody else have this problem? I’ve just shrugged and not worried about it, but it would be nice if they worked. I’m using Ivory with an iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 17.

I came across my first obviously AI article yesterday. A cat brought me a mole, so I wondered if moles were edible. A legit article said yes but they taste bad. The AI article, chock full of ads, started out saying moles are a tasty, nutritious delicacy, but then it said never to eat them because they could be carrying diseases. Then it gave recipes for mole (the Mexican dish, no mole meat) and said a good Mexican restaurant will tell you how to prepare them and mole is only served in Mexico.

I’m so happyyyyy! I switched Mastodon apps (from the official app to Ivory), and my load-time woes are overrrrrr! It’s been weeks of watching that little spinner for minutes every time I wanted to check out someone’s TL or a thread or basically clicked on anything. I thought it might be a problem with my beloved little instance, but no! Hoorayyyy!

“I and the others moved seeking to connect our fragmented pieces, our hands outstretched, begging to be nourished with who we are. Instead, the ancestral homeland shakes us, deconstructs us, and cracks us open, ushering in new resilience and perspective.”

Today is Rapture Party Day for those that observe

Rapture Party Day is held every May 21, celebrating the date that a shocking prediction was made, & widely believed, by Family Radio Christian network's Harold Camping, that Jesus would return on May 21, 2011, his followers would be sucked off to heaven & sinners would remain

It didn't happen

But hey, let's celebrate

Put up your Rapture Party Day yard decorations, like below, and party the night away.(Warning, morning hangover will come)

You’re never gonna believe this, but twice recently I have plugged in a USB cord the right way ON THE FIRST TRY. 😳

Does anyone who’s familiar with the Elder Futhark know if there are words for “web of light”? I dreamed about a rune that represents a web of light, and I’d like to have a name for it in that language.

My timeline just refreshed when I was admiring someone’s post of a non-colonial English crown, with stones only from England, and I can’t find it again. 😩

Anybody got a rhyme for zombie? Asking for a friend. (For real: she likes rhyming things as she writes stream-of-consciousness, and out came zombie, which stumped her.)

A friend (who was moving) gave me pots and soil, so just now I went on a transplanting spree! When I first moved to the Tenterraces, friends were amused that I was hauling PLANTS to the FOREST—but these particular plants are my friends! Now everyone is out of plastic pots and into better pots of happy sizes. This is a mugwort/artemesia, good for dreams, gifted by a neighbor. ✨😌💚

My new website of magical frolics, built by me as I relearned HTML, is up. ✨

No more Facebook, Wordpress, Twitter, Patreon, evil website-design sites (like Wix), evil webhosts, or Substack. This is all mine, downloadable with a click if I ever want to move it. I’m exhausted but happy.

If you had a special blanket or stuffed animal or imaginary friend or whatever, care to share a name? My blanket was Blankey. My imaginary friends were mostly unrelated and came from books, by the main thing is that I belong with my people, imaginary or otherwise (equally real).
