It&#39;s been cold up here (until yesterday), and my local garden center recommended holding off for a while. <br/><br/>I picked up a raised bed that&#39;s 4x3&#34;. Open on the bottom so the worms can get in. I&#39;ll put chicken wire on the top to protect the plants if I need to. The whole thing was rather more expensive than I expected, but I&#39;m hoping it will be worth it.<br/><br/>Tomatoes, marigolds, basil, and garlic; mostly tomatoes, though. Speaking of which, what kind of tomatoes are you going to grow?<br/><br/>My son wants to plant potatoes as well, separately. I just priced half-barrels at the garden center. They&#39;re over $100 each! Is that insane? I&#39;m temped to just buy a big plastic crate for $10 and go with that. They say you can even use cardboard boxes, but I don&#39;t think my landlord would allow that.<br/><br/>#gardening #tomatoes 2026-05-18T16:28:13Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqtqjt70gjr6d8ltsegg993ry8j4k2xyhpn60c23u7vwjxnqk3ktqzypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a827h2txk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspqsrlxvpq0085hap7dx5mqtpyp9htyq3t4npf9z065sggs6vec6g0dj5ak'>nevent1q…j5ak</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve heard that it&#39;s also good to plant garlic with your tomatoes.

It&#39;s quite deliberate. I don&#39;t know what it takes for people to realize that the Democrats are just Republicans in drag, serving the same fascist oligarchs. But deluding yourself into thinking that the Democrats will somehow make anything better is simply pathetic. <br/><br/>They don&#39;t do it. They never do it. Even when they have supermajorities AND the presidency, they don&#39;t do it. If anything they use their power to advance the cause of fascism even more strongly than the Republicans do when they&#39;re in power. <br/><br/>&#34;Look forward, not back&#34;. That was the excuse the Democrats gave for not investigating (much less prosecuting) torture and war crimes. They support Israel&#39;s genocide of children in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. They enabled the surveillance state well before Trump was on the horizon. Obama gave himself the unaccountable power to kill anyone, anywhere, for any reason—and used that power to kill a 16-year-old American child, along with uncountable numbers of children and innocent civilians in the Middle East. <br/><br/>Democrats are fascists, just like the Republicans.

Wells was not only a founding figure in the creation of the genre of science fiction; he created plots which have continued to define the genre to this day. &#34;The War of the Worlds&#34;, &#34;The Time Machine&#34;, &#34;The Invisible Man&#34;, &#34;The Island of Doctor Moreau&#34; are just a •few• of Wells&#39; genre-defining novels.<br/><br/>Which makes it easy to overlook the many brilliant short stories he produced during his career, covering horror, humor, fantasy, science fiction, and more. <br/><br/>My introduction to Wells was a purple hardcover book that I found among the family books when I was a child: &#34;Thirty Strange Stories&#34;. It mesmerized me. Although the stories are more than 100 years old now, they felt remarkably modern and relevant. <br/><br/>Sadly that book is long out of print, but Standard Ebooks has created a free eBook that has virtually all the same stories. It&#39;s called &#34;Short Fiction, by H. G. Wells&#34; and it&#39;s available in all the major eBook formats. It includes 55 of his classic short stories, and they&#39;re incredibly readable!<br/><br/><a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells/short-fiction">https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells/short-fiction</a><br/><br/>There are stories here which will stay with you forever. &#34;The Stolen Bacillus&#34;, &#34;The Treasure In the Forest&#34;, &#34;The Lord of the Dynamos&#34;, &#34;The Cone&#34;, &#34;Under the Knife&#34;, &#34;The Truth About Pyecraft&#34;...there are just too many amazing, gripping stories to list them all. The sheer •flexibility• that Wells demonstrates is astounding. He&#39;ll have you terrified one moment, laughing the next, and crying the moment after that.<br/><br/>And it&#39;s free. What more could you ask for?<br/><br/>Happy reading! 🤓📖<br/><br/>&#34;A small shopman is in such a melancholy position, if his wife turns out a disloyal partner. His capital is all tied up in his business, and to leave her means to join the unemployed in some strange part of the Earth. The luxuries of divorce are beyond him altogether. So that the good old tradition of marriage for better or worse holds inexorably for him, and things work up to tragic culminations. Bricklayers kick their wives to death, and dukes betray theirs; but it is among the small clerks and shopkeepers nowadays that it comes most often to a cutting of throats.&#34;<br/><br/>- &#34;The Purple Pileus&#34;<br/><br/>#Books #Bookstodon #ScienceFiction #Horror #Humor #English #FreeEbooks #QuasitBookRecs 2026-04-22T20:43:36Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdqjhykqr827nqvsv4m467r58pkeuqkgyy8svarcsjmjwg33ecqmgzypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a8233twvx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs279ep0tn5krx8ky25cmjyuvsqgj3t0kxjty6gzynsrnl3w6z96zqx0ju4a'>nevent1q…ju4a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Actually I have a file of more than a thousand book recommendations that I made over on Reddit.

There will be no trials. No prosecutions. Not even any investigations. ICE will still continue to exist, as will the surveillance state and the death camps. They&#39;ll just get a little less coverage in the media, and there will be more decorum in who they send into the camps. Maybe they will try to have the inmates in the death camps be a little more diverse. <br/><br/>That&#39;s the most anyone can expect from the Democratic Party. And Democrats who are expecting anything different have a big surprise coming, although no doubt most of them will stick their heads up their asses and pretend that everything is fine now. <br/><br/>#politics #democrats #dnc #fascism 2026-03-26T21:21:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs92n7tzrzs0cfv84mclarrjkncxwa48pzqhq867u68tn5tl9tk38szypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a82gnvme6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdee03nrpscqqksw0fcfagadumfg277z6zxavzmdzdhv97aanm54s38eyun'>nevent1q…eyun</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve never heard of that one before! 2026-03-26T02:15:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdntugwfk992g4cj8htx9env7v09rze42hctyk7w67pkqc45yp9agzypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a82s3f62m Okay, Firefox is OUT.

But what I HATED was gym class. I still remember the gym teacher. She would divide the class into two teams to play against each other, and she ALWAYS put all the good athletes together on one team. The &#34;losers&#34; team always got crushed.<br/><br/>I, of course, was always put on the loser team (I&#39;m the kid who was always picked last when kids were picking who was going to be on their team). One day after we got crushed by the good athletes, the gym teacher started yelling at us for being so bad at sports. <br/><br/>I lost my temper.<br/><br/>&#34;Of COURSE the score is always lopsided!&#34; I screamed. &#34;You always put all the GOOD athletes on one team!&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;Oh, and you think *you* could do better?&#34; she sneered.<br/><br/>&#34;Yes!&#34; I answered.<br/><br/>For some reason she decided to show me up. She told me to divide the class into teams. So I did, as fairly as I could. Then we played a game between the two teams.<br/><br/>The final score differed by ONE point between the two teams.<br/><br/>She never said a damned word to me again.<br/><br/>Gym teachers are scum.<br/><br/>#Gym #GymClass #GymTeachers #ElementarySchool #Bullies 2026-03-16T21:03:32Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstgfkk9ldse6e4uw5squ5qarf7waznkpd5z4stus268xmzwa2hrcczypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a82e2yt8y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8yl52kjpv62zt8dzxjed0mtd5p2lnr3anyvp4k2fdzfhfctjgl2qqx9mqy'>nevent1q…9mqy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Time for LibreOffice!<br/><br/><a href="https://www.libreoffice.org/">https://www.libreoffice.org/</a> 2026-03-16T18:25:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2kzvk68ey47p5q436hh0wd3w0sddqah4nex5f5mq53l2w4227cjgzypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a828rjewq Just making a note that the Google weather app took a huge leap towards further enshittification recently. <br/><br/>Instead of showing a convenient view of the weather for the next 10 days and the day&#39;s precipitation, it now shows a bunch of shitty Google links.

Of getting no responses. Of going through the hassle of using hashtags. <br/><br/>I replied:<br/><br/>For the community. <br/><br/>I was on Mastodon for years, and nothing happened. Virtually no responses. Then I listened to advice and started using hashtags - both for my own posts, and for searches. <br/><br/>It made a HUGE difference. I found all sorts of interesting posts and people to follow. The culture was *nicer* - people are much more well-behaved and friendly th​an they are on Reddit or Twitter. Within a month I found myself spending more time and having more satisfaction on Mastodon than I&#39;d had online for decades. <br/><br/>I can&#39;t speak for anyone else. But Mastodon is a growing, lively, intelligent community. There&#39;s no algorithm, no ads, which is *incredibly* refreshing. And since it&#39;s part of the Fediverse it&#39;s linked to many other services - such as BookWyrm, which is a great decentralized replacement for GoodReads.<br/><br/>Not to mention that Mastodon isn&#39;t owned by some money-grubbing bastard, and never will be - because it&#39;s decentralized. <br/><br/>Jeeze.

As part of my attempt to avoid using YouTube, I&#39;m thinking of listening to radio. Unfortunately my radio is broken. Can anyone recommend any radio websites?<br/><br/>Or, well, anything else that I can play in the background while I work?

I&#39;m logged out on that server (naturally), but even though I&#39;m still logged in on the *original* tab, I can&#39;t comment or upvote on the *new* tab.<br/><br/>Why? That kind of breaks Mastodon!<br/><br/>#Mastodon #Fediverse 2026-01-05T16:24:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvwpupjwr0tnw4gfclw4hyf7jndfshfzdnv0n2m9k6yhjxfhm724czypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a829gl7jh I wish that somebody, ANYBODY I knew personally in the real world was on Mastodon! I asked everyone I know on Facebook (which I&#39;ve otherwise abandoned) if they&#39;re on, and to join if they weren&#39;t, but none of them did/are.<br/><br/>My SON won&#39;t even join it!

It&#39;s logical, by capitalist &#34;logic&#34;; if someone meets a suitable match and falls in love, they&#39;re lost as a customer - possibly forever.<br/><br/>So instead the services use sophisticated algorithms to keep good matches dangling just out of reach, teasing users with the possibility of love if they would just pay for premium. <br/><br/>In other words, it&#39;s classic enshittification.<br/><br/>So I definitely support the idea of a nonprofit Fediverse-based dating service. I don&#39;t have the technical skills to be helpful with that (maybe I should try to learn?), but I&#39;d certainly sign up!<br/><br/>FediMeet, FediMeetCute...there are definitely some possibilities.<br/><br/>#enshittification #Dating #Fediverse 2026-01-03T23:11:40Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgalxywnl8p0mvgsw78c70tatgmjxprc5fh5w6ucngk8ks76xwqwczypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a82d978dn It occurs to me that I should possibly introduce myself in this new year.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been on Mastodon since 9/11/2000, but only started using it heavily over the past six months or so. Hashtags made a big improvement to my experience here.<br/><br/>I&#39;m the last of the Boomers, almost literally. But I&#39;ve been an early adopter when it comes to technology ever since college; I was on the internet back in 1986, and I created my first website in 1996. It&#39;s still up.<br/><br/>I&#39;m a hardcore bibliophile. I grew up before the internet, and without much TV; my parents read to me all the time, and I learned to read by around two and a half years old. I&#39;ve probably read more books than 99.9% of the human race.<br/><br/>When it comes to reading, my favorite genres are science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, humor, books for children and young adults, and books that have entered the public domain. But I&#39;m fairly eclectic. I tend to prefer older books, and did even as a child.<br/><br/>I love to write, but my muse doesn&#39;t send me fiction or poetry anywhere NEAR as much as I&#39;d like.<br/><br/>My memory is a bit freakish. I&#39;m not eidetic, but apparently my memory is unusually good - particularly when it comes to books. That&#39;s made it easy for me to recommend books to others. Before I left Reddit I accumulated a file of recommendations that I&#39;d made that includes nearly 1,000 books, and I still add to it when I can.<br/><br/>I have a huge amount of experience reading aloud, particularly to children. Not to boast, but it&#39;s something I&#39;m very good at.<br/><br/>I love tabletop roleplaying, and have been running campaigns for over 40 years now. The games I run are based on literary worlds or my own imagination. The focus is generally characterization, exploration, and interaction rather than combat.<br/><br/>I&#39;m a supertaster AND hypervigilant, thanks to an abusive upbringing. My senses of smell and taste are incredibly keen, and I tend to notice things more quickly than most. Except my hearing is starting to degrade a bit with age, sadly.<br/><br/>I&#39;m shy and/or demisexual. A straight cis male. I should probably be on display in a museum!<br/><br/>I&#39;m the single father of an adult son who takes after me to a frightening extent, right down to red hair, geekiness, bibliophilia, and atheism.<br/><br/>Lastly I&#39;m an anti-capitalist. Very leftist, or more accurately extremely opposed to the entire political and economic system of capitalism. I grew up with the children of the 0.001%, and really loathe them all - from experience. I know how they think. I stand with working people and immigrants.<br/><br/>Wait, I forgot to mention: I love to laugh. <br/><br/>That should do it!<br/><br/>#Bio #Introduction #Bookstodon 2026-01-03T03:01:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw6hmezatuu3su3zsk6ptmj9dayhrmvhldxeh4e6qzdg697jqlmqczypjkcveceru9eu83qj6tg30vx4v62xhj4zysudaflwhsej0lp9a82c2hs6j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswj4sn65whueujayj42f09z0djf48w2faw7xkztfq7432vstdlgwslx7dfv'>nevent1q…7dfv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They&#39;ll wake up when they can&#39;t have sex anymore, I suspect.
