If you're wondering what this #JohnMastodonDay thing is all about, here's the tl;dr:

A year ago, somebody writing for some media thingy in the midst of the whole :birdsite: banning-people-for-social-media-links insanity, made a hilariously silly mistake, and wrote that #JohnMastodon, the "founder of Mastodon", got banned from :birdsite: .

This is obviously an error, as everyone knows Mastodon was in fact created by #JoanMastodon.

John Mastodon wrote the original proof of concept code for Mastodon in 1978 on a Casio desk calculator. It wasn’t able to be released until decades later as the Ruby programming language in which it was written and the public internet on which it depended were not yet invented.

John Mastodon was both with the one he loved, and loved the one YOU'RE with.

“I must not tweet. Tweet is the mind-killer. Tweet is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my tweet. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the tweet has gone there will be nothing. Only toot will remain.”

― John Mastodon, Dune

There's an opera singer practicing in an apartment on our street with the window open and it's echoing all around.

She just did an operatic rendition of Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire and it was quite something. It gave me goosebumps.

Still though. It's opera - I wish she'd close the window.
