"Demons'R'Us, how can we help you today?"
"I have a history test today, can an old demon possess me and pass it?"
"Certainly, that will cost a twentieth of a human soul."
"Can I pay with a hamster's soul?"
"Absolutely not! Sacrificing an innocent animal? Shame on you! Good bye!"

"An Indigenous opera singer is bringing back his community's traditions and songs...
The classically-trained tenor used wax cylinder recordings of his ancestors singing in the early 1900s, which had been locked away in the national archive for decades.
Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa — translated as "Songs of the River People" — is sung entirely in Wolastoqey, a language fewer than 100 people speak."

I'm seeing a bunch of posts today about how hosting a mastodon admin doesn't cost a lot of money, and first I want to say that this is true; you can run an instance on $10-20/mo entirely reasonably.
But I don't want anyone to forget that there is a labor cost in running and maintaining an instance. It's not just pushing a button and feeding in some money, it's also monitoring your server and keeping it secure and handling reports and doing upgrades and all fo that.
Some fool (@crimsonruari specifically) asked if I could bring some of these to @anthrocon@twitter.com - the infamous "Salt Vampire Jizz" candy from the last episode of #KUEC.
When someone says "oh, it's just a few bad apples" (about cops, etc.) remind them that the proverb isn't "it's just a few bad apples but everything else is fine"; the proverb is "a few bad apples /spoil the bushel/".
Cheap roomba!

I'm looking for others with #type1diabetes on the fediverse. Just looking for a bit of a support network in this. I would very much appreciate a boost.
If you have it say hi/follow please.
I'm searching for an open-source #ebook reader app for #Android, to replace the Kindle app. I don't really care what formats it supports, so long as #Calibre can convert to them.
But I do want full screen, night mode, font size/color control, etc. Booky McBookface is off to a good start, but not there yet.
There doesn't appear to be much else on #FDroid?
Did you know you can care about climate change and labor rights at the SAME TIME? #TheMoreYouKnow
