As I said in the post title, I bought this as a self reward. It was between this and a Waterman Carene L’Essence de Bleu, but I ultimately settled on this. Haven’t even inked it yet - wish me luck!!

I had a good group of friends use it and that made it really fun. I remember the product itself being great initially. It just never gained any users.

Twitter’s Circles function much the same as Google+’s did. It was a really great feature. Seems like it’s on Twitter’s chopping block now.

I highly recommend the Nanami Seven Seas. Tomoe River paper allows these notebooks to have a ton of pages without being thick. They are thread bound so the spine is durable and it can lay flat/bend back on itself. You can get them in 7mm lines, 5mm grid, or 5mm dot grid.

I had a hard time loving the Lemmy logo at first. It felt really cheap compared to Snoo. But I fired up Lemmy today and got the same warm fuzzies seeing the Lemmy logo as I used to with Snoo. Which is all to say, it seems that I’m starting to really settle in here.

This is exactly it

Hachyderm is my instance. It’s heavily influenced by techy people, but there’s a bit of everything there. Strong culture of safety for social justice - some of the most followed LGBTQ and Black accounts post from there. I’d highly recommend.

Others I’ve enjoyed browsing are indieweb.social and toot.community

Going to show my privilege here and say Superhuman. It’s expensive as hell, but if you’re like me and email is a major part of your job, it may be worth it. I can get the gmail web client to do about 90% of what Superhuman does, though. So for an economical version, perhaps look up a guide on how to setup and use the Gmail web interface with nothing but a keyboard. In my experience, taking the time to learn how to navigate your inbox in this way pays dividends down the road. Good luck!

There’s a lot of good info already in here. I’d also recommend checking out the trending post tab, that’s where you’ll typically find some of the posters with the highest number of followers (“hubs” in the Mastodon zeitgeist). I’d also recommend that you follow Lisa Melton https://mastodon.social/@lisamelton. She boosts a ton of stuff and almost single-handedly acts like Mastodon’s algorithm. Her boosts will give you lots of cool accounts to follow, and at the very least will populate your timeline.

There is nothing Marxist that is or will ever come of the current Russian regime whether by design or byproduct. I still can’t believe this vein of thinking exists in modern communist thought. No safe space for any propaganda that supports the fascist Putin or his genocidal actions in Ukraine. Fuck everything about this.

Small Angels by Lauren Owen was excellent. The sense of pervasive dread was really palpable while reading. One of my favorite reads in the last few years.

Our state Republican Party is particularly cynical and noxious, even compared to some southern states.

 

What I said in the title. This is the first Lemmy app that gives me Apollo vibes when I use it. The new themes are just chef’s kiss. Phenomenal work! It’s not Apollo yet, but this is the app that gets me thinking that Lemmy could be a long term thing for me. Well done!!
