I forgot to tell you, but I meant to tell you

that there was this group of kids at camp

ages like 6-8

and I overheard one telling the group

"We are going to be kind this year, because bullying is cringe now"

I really hope that's a new trend among the children.

We're being kind now.

Join us.

@drlucyrogers I wish I had the space and lack of personal self-awareness to have a lathe.sadly I'm a slow learner of physical constraints with some fun scars and now a healthy respect of powertools (but still all the original limvs'n'digits)
auction sites / specialists like vwm.co.uk /facebook marketplace I guess, though a local makerspace might be a better home depending on how much you have invested in it

I'm selling a professional (very heavy) woodturning lathe - where do I advertise it?? It's in Oxfordshire.

The longest function in #curl (in number of lines) is now less than half the size the longest function was for the last twenty-five years...

What many people misunderstand about hosting your own content (like this social media instance) is thinking we somehow NEED a big audience or Big Tech involvement.

I'm perfectly fine if the world faded away and it was just the thousand of us here. It's like the early days of the web when we had small forums, nobody missed Reddit back then. Federation is a big plus, not a requirement.

It's the same with websites or IRC for me. I know people use Discord, but I still stick to IRC even if there are only about a hundred of us left. I know people use AI now and website visitors are dropping, but who cares? I still keep doing it for those who like to read.

I don't need the whole world involved for this to feel worthwhile. It's mine, I own it, and I host it for as long as I breathe. After that, it won't matter to me anymore, but I hope other admins keep things running the way I did.

Which is why we should be very careful that we don't poison wells, and why "move fast and poison wells" is bad advice.

When someone poisons the well, whether through malice, greed or ignorance, it's poisoned for everyone, and can't easily be unpoisoned. That's sort of the thing with wells and poisoning.

I wrote a poem for Father's Day. I hope it connects for at least a few of you today.
