The rains on Mars were new.
Water vapor in the atmosphere was new.
Clouds were new.
Once humanity started lobbing comets at Mars, it took less than forty years before there was enough water in the system to see rain. The storms always blossomed within a good old-fashioned dust storm. For twenty years it wasn't even rain, just muddy hail. But as we got the CO2 level up and the temperature rose, from time to time, we started to see honest to god rain.

It was like a bad day in the Gobi Desert.

"How do they make these aquafarms?"
"You're not listening."
"I'm sorry, I was distracted. They're beautiful"
"The whole planet is like that."
"The Quillari engineered the whole planet?"
"You've got it wrong. The planet engineered all of the mega structures. Aquafarms, Carbon reclaimers, advanced planetary transport systems. The Quillari themselves were engineered by the planet. They live in partnership with the whole world."
"The planet is…"
"The planet is sentient."

I remember Steve Jobs saying he wanted Apple to be an insanely great place to work and he spoke of providing developers and engineers with pizza and snacks and t-shirts.

It was only years later that I realized he was also working them like slaves. Days without sleep, people spending a week away from home.

The tech industry has always been a labor nightmare dressed up as a mission from god.

This sort of took off.
I only have one thing to sell if you're reading this thread.

Support unionization everywhere.
FIGHT THE POWER!

@mastohost
Thanks I emailed the info email and Mr. Gameiro put me on the mailing list.

How and when can I invite others to join this instance?

I asked earlier and had various vague replies.

Any one know?

I guess I got in under the wire last week.
There sure are a lot of Twitter #WritingCommunity members looking for invitations.
I own a writer friendly domain name, I wonder if I ought to start an instance to start giving them a home.

@matt

Would you have time to answer a few questions via DM regarding the care and feeding of a mastodon instance?
I think I have the technical skills to handle it but I'm wondering about the time commitment and moderating needs.

@matt Public is fine. I guess I'm wondering if admin duties are a full or part-time job for you.

@matt @mastohost
Hi mastohost!
I was looking at your website just this morning.
Looks like all the pricing tiers are currently unavailable.
Is that due to the current tsunami?
Will those become available soon?
