Gibt es hier auf Mastodon eigentlich einen besonderen Hashtag, den man als deutschsprachige Autorin kennen sollte? Und worunter man die anderen buchigen Toots findet?

Vorige week voelde ik me een paar dagen gewoon goed (zowel fysiek als mentaal). Best jammer dat dat alweer een week voorbij is. Zouden veel mensen zich altijd zo goed voelen of de meesten niet? Dat vraag ik mij dan af. Het maakt ook niet uit; hier moet ik het mee doen. Dan maar proberen om mild te zijn voor mijzelf

Misschien houd ik daarom zo van boeken, omdat je daarin leest over waar mensen allemaal mee worstelen, terwijl ze er weinig van laten zien aan anderen. Omdat je je schaamt. Omdat je denkt dat je de enige bent. Uit boeken weet ik dat we allemaal maar mensen zijn en allemaal moeite hebben met van alles en nog wat

Het ultieme boek hiervoor is ‘821 mensen die er ook toe doen’ van Anna van der Kruis, met allemaal korte verhalen waartussen regelmatig verbanden te vinden zijn. Ik lees het nu voor de tweede keer en vind het nog beter @boeken

Hello everyone! Just joined this group; only recently joined the fediverse itself and confirmed that, yes, I'm more than a lil' autistic.

It's wonderful to have finally found my people. Been looking for y'all all my life.

Hi Uair, welcome and thanks for the follow! I don't know what you mean by "group" but yes, this online community has been amazing for me, too. It's really like finding one's people 💛

There are some good hashtags to follow, like , and also a pretty active group, @actuallyautistic

We've had so many interesting discussions, sometimes lively, but only very rarely did I feel the need to block someone.

Great to have you on board!

@nellie_m @Uair @instance@relay.fedi.buzz @actuallyautistic not sure either - and now I'm nervous. I thought the whole place was, I mean the site name says "neurodifferent dot me." I haven't been hashtagging, I've just been talking as though everyone is Autistic, letting it all hang out, as we used to say. 😬

Mezzo (Calle di) – Curiosità Veneziane

“Mezzo (Calle di) in Ruga Giuffa, a S. Maria Formosa.” from Curiosità Veneziane by Giuseppe Tassini

@info A while ago I wrote about the Insta-famous blue door in Venice, and this is where I found the first clues.

The "Curiosità Veneziane" by Giuseppe Tassini is a treasure trove of information about Venice before the 1900s. The first editions, from 1863 and 1872, are digitised and online.

The Italian is a bit archaic but perfectly understandable.

I've put the entire fourth edition online here, searchable and geo-tagged:

It's the first picture of the new Arboreality in the wild! The new version has a silky matte cover, gold foil title text, and aged and distressed Ursula K Le Guin Prize and Philip K Dick awards medallions + more!

A multi-parter:

Which Star Trek character has the best hair?

Which Star Trek character's hair do you think you could pull off on your own head?

If you aren't sure, and want to share pictures of yourself, we can all help you guess.

I via When She’s Ready by Ruby Dixon. The audiobook is both When She’s Ready and When She’s Lonely. Both are very pro-consent post-slavery human-alien . I find these Risdaverse entertaining & mostly safe, more so than her other series. (I ❤️Ruby even when it’s scary.) @romancebooks

I want to add something to this post about the 2nd in this compilation: When She’s Lonely by Ruby Dixon. The FMC in this story has significant hearing loss that impacts her daily quality of life. If you look for stories of MCs with disabilities, and like or at least accept human-alien & sex, I recommend this. I recommend it anyway, but especially if this is in your areas of interest. @romancebooks @romancelandia

Meta didn’t say why, but the EU’s Digital Markets Act could be the culprit.

jmcs ,

They could comply with the DMA by opening up Facebook Messenger to everyone (for example by reintroducing XMPP), so no this is not because of the DMA (besides the “look at what you made me do” abuser’s mantra), it’s because Facebook will stop at nothing to trap users in their platforms.

Should I continue on reading The Good Luck Girls of Shipwreck Lane, or should I give up for the promise of a better book (or in one case, a game)?

My goal is to have the winning book (or game) finished in January and the review posted in time for Valentines Day.

Morning Mastodonians!

I pretty much 100% recovered from my bout with the COVID. Slight sniffle, but then again, I spend pretty much the entire winter with one, so who knows? Seems like the rest of the family, even the unboosted one, has avoided my fate, which is great. Probably shouldn't go back to hockey tomorrow though, at least if I'm reading the CDC guidelines correctly. I'll just wait until next Tuesday to get back on the ice.

jda OP ,

I've been playing the Guardians of the Galaxy computer game. It's a strange one. 🤔 It has a bit of combat and some character progression, but it really is more about puzzle-solving and plot(!) than a real RPG. It even has quicktime events, which I thought disappeared years ago. Still fun though. And 4 Guys Co-op had a long session of Serious Sam 4 but we couldn't get level 3 finished. I may have to ease the difficulty a bit. @videogames

jda OP ,

Also been getting plenty of reading done in my last week of freedom. I finished The Swerve, which was a fascinating (no really!) look at a medieval humanist and his efforts to uncover ancient texts, including a pivotal book by the Roman philosopher Lucretius, On The Nature Of Things, which the author posits as "How The World Became Modern". No really, it's great stuff! I've started on the 2nd Cormoran Strike book, The Silkworm. @bookstodon

I try to be very positive and cheerful about my profession: teaching. It's a fluffing tough job and you have to see the best in it - every lesson, every day, every student. And it can be the most rewarding and important job a person could do. But, my goodness, today was a challenge. When your leaders don't seem to care about their staff and are actively making it more difficult for you, you just get worn down. But. Tomorrow is a new day. Always. @edutooters

I’m not a teacher but close family members have been, so I offer this:

On particularly bad days when you’re sure you can't possibly cope, it can sometimes help to remind yourself that your track record for getting through bad days so far is 100%.

@renwillis yes! It is a beautifully heartfelt game that I loved to death (and god bless it for bringing back action commands). After you beat it, I highly recommend going through enough of the post game to get the true ending. It is very worth it!

It's now my go-to rec for anyone who wants to get into JRPGs and the like but has trouble playing older games like Chrono Trigger
