I just sent an email to my Congress critter in the house. No to Hakeem Jeffries.
I keep hearing that there's no one capable of replacing him. But that is certainly evidence of a lack of confidence in each other or a complete lack of competence on the part of most of them.

25m agoI got last minute free tickets to the opera last night, so I walked down to the local music hall and watched the world premiere of Costaso, set in the Spanish-ruled American Southwest. It was created originally by a Black composer and featured a largely BIPOC cast. If you're in #Vermont and like opera, or are just opera-curious, I highly recommend trying to track down a production by these folks.
so random and so cute!!

Who won our children’s Christmas card competition? Congratulations to Alice, aged 8, from Oxton and to Lily, aged 15, from Stow! We think your cards look brilliant! Well done to everyone who entered. You can see all the entries in Stow from next week. The proceeds from the sale of these cards goes straight to Galashiels & Area Foodbank, so please snap them all up! We should live in a society where food banks should not exist but until then, we will support them!
Heute Abend ab 20:00 geht's weiter im Spiel der schlechten Entscheidungen a.k.a. The Quarry. Wer wohl heute sterben wird? :D

Why aren’t donuts called Toroidal Pastries.
(I think an EE would name them that though)
Hello! :revblobfoxhappy:
I have some issues with my computer right now, but I've been preparing some art; once it's corrected I'll post it asap!
I think the fan of my GPU broke, still under tests at the current time
Tysm for your patience!
The explanation below is basically what I said yesterday.
2h agothis is why learning that 'theremin player in a novelty band' is a THING, it sets something weird and life-giving alight in my being
the human world got meaningfully bigger along the lines of this silliness
and y'all
that is a spirit of meaningful resistance
2h agohere's the thing, which I think Masto actually knows better and deeper than most places: in some ways our meaningful freedom is EXACTLY as spacious as the breadth of our collective hobbies
the things we do for love and fascination and deep amusement more than for pay
the things we learn with and from and for one another
the things that test the bounds of categorization and the limits of meaning (IS a theremin a musical tool? Can we make bongos out of Flock cameras?)
the ways we spend our unprogrammed time
the quirks of our ways of seeing and being that are invisibilized or auto-tuned out in more official spaces and roles
the new things that arise, the innovations and failures, in our fucking around for the sheer fascination of the thing
our hobbies are a gift, and a honing, of our humanness

On my way back to Bielefeld, catching up on world news after week of touching grass and seriously what the fuck
2h agoa friend of a friend has a gig
AS A THEREMIN PLAYER
in a novelty/comedy rock band

I have a thonkpad t470s
It works fine but if I ask it to do more than the most basic shit the poor thing starts considering committing sudoku
I require suggestions for a laptop, preowned because I have trex arms, that would let me do at least some light gaming and would allow me to replace parts.
Unfortunately my dream laptop is too expensive for me.
Anyone want an early 2000s server rig someone built in a Lian-Li case?
Dual Athlon MP processors of some sort on a Tyan motherboard.
Very cool listing. Even comes with a plextor drive and Zip drive and bunch of other cards. Price seems right to me but they’re even accepting offers. I hope someone on Fedi ends up with this system.
It is probably a brain fart but if I wanted to start with pottery, how much time and money would it take to get from "total newbie" to "decent-looking hand-crafted beer mugs"?
