As I was saying, Chris Smaje is always worth reading.

"It’s hardly original to observe that, in the Greek, apocalypse means a revelation or uncovering. ... we need to embrace what apocalypse is revealing to us, while for sure trying to mitigate the miseries it inevitably entails."

@withknown is being exceedingly dumb today, refusing to accept a bookmark that happens to contain greek letters. So let's try here.

Is there anything worse than having a post from two years ago highlighted with fine exceprts, and discovering at least one typo?

Question expecting the answer no, as my old Domine used to yell.

Fixed now. Thanks Joe.

I fear this may not work, but I need some webmentions to style in my site redesign, so I am going to reply to a post not quite at random and hope that that shows up. It probably won't, which will relegate styling webmentions to the live site. Heigh ho.

Replied to a post on ruk.ca :

There is a tide ... which ... delivers anchovies. I was so happy to learn that Peter Rukavina had both taken the plunge on anchovies and shared a blog post about them for me to explore. I’m also stealing his description: a “salty fishy kapow-offering friend,” although, hold the fishy.

That blueprint is at https://siderea.dreamwidth.org/1824441.html which brilliantly analyses what made the original Patreon so attractive and how it has declined. As someone still able to use charge-by-item and someone who uses the support of patrons to make my stuff available to all, I really appreciated the piece.

Robert Kingett's heartfelt post about why he is leaving Patreon, coupled with my own attempts to streamline the support options for my own little endeavours, left me reminiscing about the original flattr and early Patreon itself. The blueprint for a replacement exists. Somebody, please build it.

@help Is there a reason I cannot paste into a reply (ios) or is it just me? I understand I cannot post because I am not a paid account, but I can reply from the app. But not paste into my reply.

Japan did get an increase in Pacific Bluefin Tuna quota, but not as much as it originally wanted. Increase of 50% for big fish and 10% for smaller fish. They originally wanted 230% and 30% respectively, so that really is a win for scientific management.

I would have replied to @thesiswhisperer@aus.social directly, but they seem to delete all their posts immediately. I would have said thanks for fixing the coding of your blog post, which I found interesting and thought provoking. Maybe they’ll see this.
