   @stefan @essjayjay @iaruffell @selzero FWIW, the “actual” Trump agenda is Agenda 47 https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47

   Though in fairness, they did scrub the Presidential website of most of its positions the last time he got elected. This could well happen again.

   My view on project 2025 is that they will be more likely to implement it if it makes liberals cry tears. So if we do not want this future, the best thing to do would be… the exact opposite of what we are doing🤷🏻♂️

   #WritersCoffeeClub June 9: How do you select ideas from all the ones floating around?

   I write my fixations, the ideas that won't go away. I recently got over a significant period of mental health related writer's block on fiction, and things are going pretty well now that I have the ability to be haunted again.

   My writing for games, collaborative fiction, and non-fiction pitches is more systematised, however.

   I list various options (I use CherryTree to sort all my projects), do supporting research and sketch out key themes, characters (where present) and the general gist of where everything needs to end up.

   For pitches or collaborative work, these then go to the client/partner/project lead, who'll either accept them or not, and I'll build on them as required by the brief.

   For solo game projects, once I have enough of a structure, I'll start sketching plot and events out using a tool such as Twine, on paper, or in-engine, depending.

   Not what I said... try reading what I said and try again.

   My new company has about 7 founding investors at about the same ownership % as him... I have never even heard from a single one of them past the initial investment. I run the company and they dont even know me, let alone have influence.

   I've written in the past about experiencing the cataclysmic flooding in Kentucky in 2022, but I've never really come around to posting about how it still affects me.

   I monitor weather forecasts and alerts constantly. I'm more familiar with the National Weather Service offerings than any normal civilian has any business being, because I must know all the things all the time. Storm predictions, qualified precipitation forecasts, seasonal outlooks, all fresh and on hand at all times. Pleasant weather in short streaks lets me let me guard down for a few days at a time but the next time that there's rain in the forecast I'm right back on the defensive again.

   My property consists of a section of a valley, with a creek running through the bottom of it, about 10 meters away from the wall of my house. After '22, we built a berm along the bank, to try to help keep it where it belongs, and never again rise up to lap up against the brick and mortar of my exterior walls. Thousands of dollars in equipment rentals, labor, permits, etc. in trying to make sure The Next Time it happens, we'll be better prepared. And yet, every time it rains, even just a little, I catch myself gazing out the east windows at the creek, checking how high it is getting.

   It feels a little bit silly really. Even if it breached the berm, my house is probably four feet higher than that. The power stays on, the sump pumps stay active, the creek rises, the sand and mud get shifted around, the creek goes back down, and we repeat the cycle all over again in a couple of weeks. There's no real danger, for just about any given storm, no matter how hard or how fast it rains.

   Its easy to sit and type that, and to a large extent I genuinely believe it. But still, I catch myself checking forecasts multiple times a day, watching radar feeds on a spare display, testing my weather alert radio, and proverbially wringing my hands about it.

   Some day, I hope I can look out my window at that creek and appreciate it for what it is, instead of immediately finding a point of reference to check how high it is. Some day, but not tonight, unfortunately.

   I'm back to typing with my whole hand again.

   My pinky is still slightly numb.

   Luna, but on a new instance (luna@pony.social)'s status on Monday, 01-Jan-2024 06:18:35 JST Luna, but on a new instance

   In 2009, I join Twitter.
   I make friends there.
   I can see their posts.

   Twitter has a Nazi problem.
   I pre-emptively join Mastodon.
   But I don’t really use it yet.

   Elon Musk buys Twitter.
   My friends start leaving.
   I no longer see their posts.

   I want to see my friends’ posts.

   -

   I find my friends again on Mastodon.
   Now I have two apps to keep track of.
   But I can see my friends’ posts again.

   My instance admins get in a fight.
   Friends’ instances defederate from mine.
   I can no longer follow them, nor they me.
   I am told about this by a friend who noticed.
   There is no indication given by the software.
   I am not notified of the connections I’ve lost.

   I want to see my friends’ posts.

   -

   A friend invites me to their instance.
   I accept, and migrate my profile across.
   I re-follow missing friends I can remember.
   And I can see my friends’ posts again.

   A friend posts photos on her instance.
   But those photos are not visible on mine.
   Her profile appears, to me, devoid of images.
   My new instance seemingly media-blocks hers.
   There is no indication given by the software.

   -

   I just want to see my friends’ posts.

   Am I wrong to want that?
