@jendiagammon Oh my goodness - I am reading this RIGHT now. I love his work but this is my first time. So achingly beautiful.

I am also a very big fan of “Something Wicked This Way Comes” - I usually read through it in Octobers. I find myself reading passages aloud for the pure pleasure of how they sound.

He was really one of a kind - I feel like he saw the world in a unique way.

@evan That said, I get the hesitation and nervousness of many for more things public. But it is an instance where I think there are positive and less positive aspects of whatever we choose. And what might be good for some will not be good for others. 2/2

@evan I know this is probably beyond the scope of the question but I put qualified yes. On one hand, a feature of many services on the Social Web (SW) is granular level privacy. But one of the problem of the SW is fragmented search and discoverability. I am a persistent person but even had to work hard to build my feed. One solution might be post opt-out of search rather than opt-in. Or the same for profiles. Or maybe there needs to be a universal SW search that is opt-out. 1/2

@liztai Wormholes. Only logical explanation.

@fixiemama @carlmalamud

I understand your feeling regarding the climate. The only thing that gives me hope is that the momentum in other places around the world for sustainability. If the US wants to walk away from things, other nations in Asia will continue to progress. And they will be the future.

Am pleased to announce that @dohappybelove and I are now parents! Our little one is named Viraj and he is a little cuddly ball of cuteness. We are overjoyed (and exhausted)! Looking forward to sharing more stories as this journey goes on. Feel free to follow our common account as well if you want more ramblings - @bunvoyage17

@whyst Wah! A-mazing!

Our Halloween coincided with the Indian festival of Diwali. We had our first child a few days ago and so this was his first Diwali 🪔❤️

@liztai I'm annoyed too. I really like Omnivore for what is is. I enjoyed the Read Aloud feature but did not think it was central to my experience. I was unclear from the mail about whether Omnivore is going away or if we would need to move everything to a new app.

@johnbloorprintmaker

Tired. Very tired. We had our first baby a week ago and we are still adjusting to the new sleep regime. He's cute so it makes up for it ❤️

I would love to know what crime this pastry committed to deserve such a fate....

@carlmalamud

Wah wah! Looks great!

@gernalist

This makes me sad. When I went to Goa, I actually chose to stay primarily in Panjem. I went a little off season but it was one of my favorite experiences in my five years living in India. I don't know why some take the excuse of travelling to be boorish and rude (especially in Goa)... Thanks for sharing!

@timkmak Great article!

@johnbloorprintmaker "The Century of the Self" and "All Watched Over By Machines of Love and Grace" are some of the craziest things I have ever watched. Really enjoyed both.

@ayoub Omnivore is WONDERFUL - open source, powerful, cross platform, has a good text to audio converter, and integrates with a lot of PKM programs. And they are in the Fediverse! @omnivore

Ranger Sarah has made it to Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site.

Why do I feel like the person who designed these products has never actually watched “Toy Story 3”?

Maybe it is an ironic gift for Halloween?
