New website, new #introduction! I'm Rhys, a storyteller, #librarian, and #archivist living in Leicester, UK. I use they/them pronouns. I have a rich background working in multimedia #storytelling, oral #history, guerrilla #journalism, and #ethnography. More recently, I’ve expanded into #libraries and #archives. Outside of work, I’m a budding #gardener, #solarpunk, nature #photographer, #druid and #anarchist. I’m proudly #neurodivergent (#AuDHD) and #queer. My website: https://syhr.neocities.org/

So much profanity in English falls into one of three categories: 1) Gendered 2) Speciesist 3) Ableist What are your favourite alternatives? CW your replies! 🫣

Replying to @TheTempleMom@pagan.plus

@TheTempleMom@pagan.plus my only concern with this is that back wall is quite damp and I don't want to add to that. The other wall isn't suitable for vertical because there's a lot of fixtures in the way

@MikeFromLFE@cupoftea.social Interesting – because the garden is near several old outdoor toilets and coal stores, they're everywhere.

@MikeFromLFE@cupoftea.social I'll get some Weedol. I'm always wary of any sprays because of Glyphosate, but good to know it doesn't use it.

@natz_b@mastodon.social also to answer your question: I think, as a first step, flowers would be good to encourage pollinators, because there's no wildlife whatsoever near my house. What do you think?

@natz_b@mastodon.social All good suggestions! One thing I forgot to mention is we do get a lot of slugs, but possibly spraying the weeds with salt as someone else suggested could deter them on the whole?

Give it a month and the weeds will be triffids. Last year they were out of control.

I might need Fedi’s help with my garden. It’s a tinyyyy patio that’s completely overrun with weeds, and there's two bottomless planters filled with compost from the previous owners. I have no idea what to do with it! Anything #solarpunk wins. Must be #ADHD friendly. If there's interest, I'll post a photo! #gardening #gardenLife

When I first came out as nonbinary a year ago, a friend sent me a bunch of “reminders” that were so good, I think everyone should know them too: #Nonbinary #Trans #Queer #LGBTIAQ

And before people say "What about XYZ app?" I've tried them all. Trust me. Google Maps is quick and powerful. The closest thing is Organic Maps / CoMaps but even they fall short when trying to find specific things

This London trip has reminded me that it's almost impossible to navigate around quickly with any other map app beside Google Maps. There used to be a privacy frontend for it... But that no longer seems to be the case with the death of DivestOS Is there anything else like that out there? I hate having Google Maps on my otherwise deGoogled phone but I can't do without it. #AskFedi #Privacy @privacyguides@mastodon.neat.computer

@patric @Tutanota Generally their clients lack standard accessibility features, and I think adding them should be made a priority. No accessibility policy on their website too that I can see. An alternative would be a mail/calendar bridge to allow use of third party clients while keeping encryption intact (this is my preferred method, because it gives users more choice). And, of course, desktop drive integration so users can use OS level accessibility features.
