Hello patches my old friends

I’ve come to stick you on again

Cuz for a cogent thought I am seeking

My poor old joints, they ache and are creaking

And in the dark of the night I keep bursting into flame

It’s such a shame

I pledged $25 to support Pixelfed and Loops today. We will get the new internet that we pay for. We are not the product any more.

Newly Episcopalian, I see on the calendar that today is about Fabian and feasting so I’m listening to “Turn Me Loose” and stuffing my face. Am I doing this right?

I'm now on pixelfed as https://pixelfed.social/jillsreads if anyone wants to follow. Not sure what I'll be taking photos of exactly. Books maybe?

Time for an accessibility audit on the website. I'm 90% of the way there before I start. My secret? When anyone, even if they are major stakeholders, asks to put a Word document, or anything else that is not already in compliant PDF format or HTML code, on the library's website I refuse. Need some alt text in the Media Library, used judiciously so screen reader users don't get annoyed with the same words twice, in which case alttext="null." Done!

As a child, I suppressed my desires to such an extent to please my parents that I was fascinated by Veruca Salt, who not only knew of her desire for performing baboons and 10,000 tons of ice cream but could explicitly and unequivocally state those wants as requirements.

Beginning at bedtime

I read fourteen long chapters

And now I’ll be a work zombie

On a Thursday

I regret nothing

Who can tell me about Diaspora and Friendica and why, once again, when people are looking for Fediverse alternatives, we the geeks befuddle the masses with this “choose randomly from thousands of servers with no guidance” thing.
