I've been using @mailbox_org as my professional email for the past two-ish years. I really like it and it has been a decent replacement for my old Outlook account.

However, I am noticing that my mails to people using Google Workspace are always going to their spam folders and they only seem to get the mail after I follow up. From what I can see in Mailbox forums, there has been a noticeable uptick of emails going to the Gmail Spam folder. Does anyone else have the same problem?

This is real frustration when one is trying to move to more private services. And when one or two companies have a veritable monopoly on communication. I am torn between trying to stick to my principles and being practical.

(Before it is mentioned - I did consider @protonprivacy but I just felt like they were a bit of overkill for what I needed)

@NanoRaptor Ah, a rodent of culture, I see!

This made me laugh far harder than it had any right to do....

@dohappybelove and I (@bunvoyage17) recently moved to #Skokie, a very close suburb of #Chicago, and our nearest grocery store is one with an INSANELY large selection of international grocery items from all around the world. And when I say insane, I mean insane. There are obscure items from smaller countries and places you would not expect.

We love trying new things and so thought it would be fun to ask here: What is your favorite recommendation from your home country? It can be anything (food, snack, drink, sauce, sweet, etc) but the only think we ask is that the item is vegetarian.

This is the market - https://www.freshfarms.com/

Feel free to boost widely!

Man, Apple must REALLY want the US to force the @EUCommission to overturn tech regulations...

My Kobo Clara HD. Since I became a parent, it has been really hard to read physical books. The ereader allows me to do it one handed 🤗

Second choice is library books when I can get them.

If I had a nickel for every time this has happened to me...

She is one of my favorite accounts here - such beautiful art!

@altlife Wah! What a quote! Mary Oliver is great.

Garden update! The plants survived the move and this is the harvest so far. We had them for the first time in the morning on German bread with cream cheese. Really tasty. I could not have done it without my little assistant ❤️

Excited about this but still wish we could have had the Adam Guettel version that never came to light. Happy it is coming here to #Chicago!

@Kaution

That is fair. What I had in mind was all of these schlocky B movie horror films stating newly released public domain characters.

RE: https://toot.community/@openculture/117258887164831074

Can’t wait for this Mickey to enter public domain for the inevitable “Godzilla vs Mickey” film. The original film here from 1934 sounds bonkers.

@FullyAutomatedRPG

Congrats!! 🤗

This is great. Would love to see one for #Chicago next.

I sometimes wonder what will happen to the BJP after Modi. I feel like there is really no one on the wings. That it what happens when you make a cult of personality - it all begins to fall apart once the leader is gone.

I went to stay in Noida in February to visit family and I saw Yogi everywhere. Trying to emulate Modi in branding but it comes off as forced. Plus Modi's people don't like him so they try to undermine Yogi when they can.

Am packing to move to another part of the area and found this. Hurts a bit harder than I thought it would. Sigh. May we all be cursed to live in interesting times.
