And so she moved on. Sometimes for no better reason than because she didn't like the view from the coffee shop. This time it was just a feeling that the beach side town was too quiet in the winter, and she was looking for some work to stretch her arms. So she cashed her mincome, bought a train ticket up north and fell in with a brand new makerspace setting up in an old sawmill. It was freezing, but the first thing they built were small rooms inside the giant building that they could easily heat.

when billionaires argue that poverty is intractable and post-scarcity is impossible, they betray the violence intrinsic to their position. they already live lives beyond scarcity. they argue that only they deserve to do so.

I just realized: One thing I'm missing from the Fediverse are event calendars.
I'm currently in a group of people planning a climate protest, and we're using Facebook to post events there for people to subscribe to.
I'm not aware of any federated social network / tool where I could post a calendar event and people could subscribe to it.
That would be a really useful feature to get more people off Facebook.
It's been 20 years since I left Nova Scotia. I've had just shy of 20 addresses in 6 cities in 3 provinces since then.
Just signed my second five year mortgage and I'm not quite sure how I feel for sitting still this long...

I have, somewhere, much of the digital content I've produced over my life.
One of the big holes is ujournal. Didn't grab a copy before it went down. Still regret that.....

These are names the neural net came up with for high school robotics teams.
My point is the names of the Terminator bots should have been a LOT weirder.
Today I'm grumpy that manufacturers don't sell Linux versions of their Chromebook models.
I think the harder you work the more rolls of the dice you get. But success takes luck.
This is also why I think we need to spend more time supporting the social infrastructure that has a much greater effect on our lives than anything we do individually.
