I can follow Mastodon users individually via RSS, but is there a mass RSS output for either all of the people I’m following or for individual lists I’ve made?
Dr. Miller mentioned in class tonight that his Winter quarter math class at UCLA will be on ring theory. Prepare yourself to commute (or not).
Dial yn yr cwympo means something different than dail yn yr cwympo.
If they were book titles, I’d rather read the first though.
The Steelcase Vintage Quidditch Chair
It was overdue for re-upholstery, so I picked up some material yesterday and recovered my 1950’s Steelcase chair. The finish on this one is in okay shape, but I really want to refinish both it and its twin which I spent a bit of time cleaning up yesterday.
It’s now been redubbed the Quidditch chair by the household.

Looking at some rough statistics for the Fediverse tonight and it appears that since November 4 that there are now 1,785 more instances or nodes in the network. About 60 of those are WordPress-based sites!
Yes, I live in Altadena, CA. Yes, I’ve purchased lottery tickets from Joe’s before. No, it (sadly) wasn’t me that won 2.04 billion dollars in the Powerball Lottery.
Zotero with a side of Ditch Twitter
I switched from Mastodon to Twitter to look something up and noticed they’re trying to entice me back with trending topics they know I’ll love.

Seeing privileged Westerners complaining about their miniscule issues relating to their reactions to an online dictator in #TwitterMigration, makes me extra mindful of war, climate, and other human refugees who need to physically relocate their homes from one country to another and don’t have any support systems at all.
A great thread. Though why not use the web as your platform? Micro.blog can do the work to help you own your identity & data, and as @EthanZ suggests it will also allow you to crosspost to both Twitter & Mastodon to stay in touch with the people you chose.
Long thread – buckle up. TL:DR; yes, you should join Mastodon. But you should stay on Twitter as well. What we need are more and different online communities, not just an exodus from a troubled platform.

A semi-regular reminder that all my posts are on my website where you can follow or subscribe in a number of ways (including as a Mastodon instance!).
You can also find me on micro.blog if you move there. It’s a spectacular, healthy platform and community that would appreciate your contribution and presence. I recommend it highly.
If you need help finding an “exit”, I’m both happy and well-equipped to not only suggest but to provide direct technical help. Reach out in any way that feels most comfortable to you.
I’ve already been doing the work anyway, so I’ve updated my NaNoWriMo profile to reflect the research and writing work I’m doing on a book related to note taking and its historical traditions. I’m writing it using my commonplace book and Luhmann-esque zettelkasten as tools.
