This weeks #katexic #newsletter turned into a themed issue! → "essence of quiescence" featuring obmutescence, silences of all kinds, philip k. dick, carthusian monks, puddles and a bunch more → https://katexic.com/announcements/newsletter-december-16-2018/

@wion Indeed and thanks! I take it you were a Txp-er too?

@wion when editing your profile you can verify that a site is yours by putting a tag on that site, which enables the check mark —> “You can verify yourself as the owner of the links in your profile metadata. For that, the linked website must contain a link back to your Mastodon profile. The link back must have a rel="me" attribute. The text content of the link does not matter.”

…And then, too, I had learned early to assume something dark and lethal hidden at the heart of anything I loved. When I couldn't find it, I responded, bewildered and wary, in the only way I knew how: by planting it there myself…
