Despite all the recent personal chaos, we continue to enjoy silly little rituals and bits of playfulness here in the clown house.
A few days ago, after months without a sighting, Sherbet the dog reappeared!
And some time later, ran off to continue our never-ending game of hide and seek.

Main Character Syndrome may be the defining epidemic of 2026. Not cuz people think they're important but cuz they've mistaken attention for importance.
Somewhere along the way the smartphone stopped being a camera & became a casting director. Every grocery store, airport, gym, coffee shop all transformed into a potential film set while complete strangers were demoted to unpaid extras in someone else's endless audition for relevance.
Y’all,
We’ve been working on something real special, and it’s about ready to see the light of day.
Next week we’re putting out the first five-minute chapter of our new animated series all about Kumiai-Ki the Mighty Labor Union Mech.
That’s right! The union's got a giant robot.
You’ll be able to catch the first chapter on the Mountain Town Toys youtube channel and on @video but you can watch the trailer here, along with the debut of the Kumiai-Ki theme song, written by @ajroach42 and performed by @DoctorDeathray.
(And, of course, Kumiai-Ki toys are available for sale right now!
See them here: https://www.mountaintowntoys.com/kumiai-ki-the-mighty-union-machine/ and I'll explain more about them on the next post.)

Insomnia, fun?
really wish i could mark cryptocurrency, nfts, and ai as anti-features on @fdroidorg
the anti-feature filtering is already present, and works great, (you are given the freedom to override it.) it would be the mere addition of some more boolean attributes
☎️ Hello, many of us have gone crazy with telephones since EMF Camp. We've got lots of telephones in the space now, and our members can register their own SIP, DECT or POTS extensions.
We'd like to "hook" up with some other makerspaces, so if you already have a SIP-capable phone system please get in touch so we can bridge our networks!

This is a friend in France, who needs help finding a trans-supportive gyn.
If you know of someone who is appropriate, or know someone who might know someone, please please contact them (they also speak English).
Boosts helpful.

About 30 minutes into the latest episode of “Two Clowns in a Closet”, I had to pause, because I thought of a possible alternate phrase for “The Made-Up Menagerie”:
“The Cavalcade of Clownhouse Creatures”
“Cavalcade” is no longer equine-specific, and “creatures” is open-ended enough to include all sorts of beings, including perhaps a #clown.
… now on with the rest of the #podcast.
Me: If I do my strength exercises I'm allowed to play around with gamedev afterwards.

One of the little signs that we are making some progess on #ThisOldClownHouse is how much of the building I can now wander through barefoot in the dark.
As part of the night crew, I noticed this when I had to make a mad dash to close all the windows when the rain started pounding down unexpectedly.
There we are! That's my adventure from yesterday. The write up was my project today, which may have gotten my hands back to working after how much they ached this morning!
Gonna start using "During COVID" correctly to irritate people. "Yeah, this morning, During COVID, I walked the dog. A short one, though, these wildfires." "Sure, I filed my taxes During COVID, in 2025." "Wanna have a masked hang later today, During COVID?"
Some time ago, I started looking for a Braille display to help implement Braille display support in #FreeBSD
Update: I managed to get a used one from the United States, and it should arrive by the end of the month.
If your country has websites that sell used items, I'd really appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for affordable Braille displays and let me know if you find any. Thank you!
