I’ve just caught up with Steven Universe. Oh, wow. 🙊🌺

Camp NaNoWriMo is over and I did it! 50 hours of editing, in which I got through 9 chapters. #amwriting
When you look up a favourite book cover on the artist’s website and find out that one of the characters depicted on it isn’t who you thought she was.

First day of #CampNaNoWriMo: exceeded 2 hours of editing, but the site will only accept whole numbers.
Target is 50 hours. I’m ahead, but not by as much as I hoped to be on a non-work day.

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.
A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."
People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.
Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.
Why am I staying up late watching a 1950s pop music TV show?

My little niece is very interested in what belongs to who, particularly cars. I don’t have a car, but she knows how I travel; she thinks I have a train.
She probably wonders why I don’t park it outside her house when I visit.
She also wants to know who made things (often she is told it was John Lewis) and who is whose mummy. So she asks, “Whose mummy is John Lewis?”

Word of the night just passed: floddle. Apparently some component of the 2-man* canoe/hovercraft I was on my way to Antarctica in.
(* I was a man in the dream, and so was my travelling companion.)

Good morning! The Shop is going to go down briefly this evening around 10pm Pacific, as I do more things to help make us more stable.
I also expect to be able to upgrade us to the latest version of Mastodon!
Boosts appreciated, I'll also post again once we're closer.
