@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz Awesome! I have a game that is glitchy on ubuntu and linuxmint and have heard it's more stable on fedora w/ kde, so I was curious about that distribution too.

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz I'm a new Linux user and bouncing between LinuxMint on one machine and Ubuntu on another. I kinda prefer/have less issues on ubuntu, what's the reason people say not to use it?

There is so much we don't know about post-viral issues except that they are very common with Covid (and EBV/mono and others!) Anecdotally (from my experience and in too many LC forums) many people experience onset of post-viral issues after trying to go "back to normal" too quickly. Ain't worth it! I cannot stress enough how "mild" my acute covid symptoms were, and I ended up having to quit my job. Take a test! Rest extra! No rushing! (I say in a capitalist world, I know) 2/2

Lots of people I know are testing positive for Covid in multiple US states. Keep some tests in the house! I had a very mild case a few years ago that felt like a cold, so other than additional quarantining, I treated it like a mild cold. I went back to my (very stressful) life as soon as I felt better. And within two weeks, I lost control of motor function in my extremities and a bunch of other weird symptoms. 1/2 #covid #longcovid #postviral

I just came back from a two-week, no computer trip down south (hence the silence here and in #junited ) I know it's easy to dig on Florida, but it is breathtaking and full of a lot of amazing human beings working really hard in spite of it all. They are loving and living and showing up for each other and making music and filming ICE raids and fighting for springs like these. #florida #floridasprings

My brain is breaking as I try to figure out how this was achieved in etching. And this is just a detail!

Professor Shoelace does a great job articulating what everyone who has a passion project online has felt.

"For Ian, the cumulative effect of all of these factors is a deep sadness, a sinking feeling of exhaustion and futility. What is the point of adding value to the internet if it is only going to rob you? Why do research, make diagrams, and develop new knots?"

This got more boosts again so I just want to reiterate: this is a thing you can just *do*! You can look up to see if there is a fridge or pantry network near you, check the rules (like donations probably need to be sealed, labeled, dated), and fill them. Is your local political action org mired in too many emails and drama? While you work on fixing that, you and your buds can just make and bag PB&J's for an hour on a Sunday.

My neighbor spearheaded an effort to make 150 bagged meals and distribute them to 6 food fridges across Baltimore. All 6 were empty when we got there and some had community members waiting and helping us unload

A reminder that a lot of Baltimore kids get their meals at school, so weekends and summer are extra important to fill in gaps!

Here's a map for the Baltimore Community Fridge Network

The last six of my very fast and loose, unpressed quilt blocks for my first quilt. About 2/3 of the fabric is second-hand and about half of the fabric is old duvet covers or curtains.

Pattern came from Baltimore's monthly free book giveaway, the Book Thing.

A lot of ironing is in my future #quilting #quilt #sewing #textiles

And Flower Mart is in Mt Vernon 11-8pm today. I went yesterday and there were great vendors and good energy. My buddy went back and forth with the owner of Ekiben about them not offering delivery and he hooked her up with free tofu lol. It's been going on for 115 years! https://www.wmar2news.com/news/region/baltimore-city/baltimores-historic-flower-mart-returns-to-mount-vernon-this-weekend

Big Day in #Baltimore! Kinetic Sculpture race from 9-7 pm AND Flower Mart!

Favorite Kinetic Sculpture Race prize categories:

"Worst Honorable Mention:
Lowest Award known to Humankind. This is given to the Sculpture whose half-baked theoretical 'engineering' did not deter its Pilot(s) from the challenge of the race."

Also one for "most memorable breakdown," "most interesting water entry," and the Grand Mediocre Champion is the top prize
