Practicing carving in earnest. Testing out line work techniques I do with pen, and trying to translate to #linocut

I’m happy with it, it’s too busy and I need to practice the ink application more. But you can’t get better unless you start making stuff 🤷🏼‍♀️

So lately, I feel the Fediverse is a lot less "toxic" (e.g. no angry people attacking other people online).

Not sure if it's just me—perhaps my "following" habit—or is it something else.

If it's something else, then I have a guess:

the Fediverse actually has skin in the game to keep this place friendly.

Twitter, on the other hand, has a profit-motivated incentive to bring everyone on there, including the toxic people.

The Fediverse, however, is stretched financially thin.

Behave badly on the Fediverse, people leave, and servers shut down. No more Fediverse for other people; no more Fediverse for you. There are no extrinsic incentives on here.

It's all intrinsic motivation to just use the platform, and have it organically thrive.

Either that, or there is a much simpler explanation for why this place feels friendlier.

The passing of the storm Friday/Saturday will usher in our first true arctic blast of the season. Sunday through mid next week will bring lows below zero and highs in the single digits with bitter wind chills.

Canadian Lawyer Tiktok: Blair runs down Israel’s defence to South Africa’s claim of genocide:

Tough choices for Israel in US's Middle East vision

Interesting. However I don't trust the US to mean what it says, nor am I convinced that Israel will accept. And this sucks:

"The stick certainly isn't the threat of terminating, or even placing conditions on, US aid to the Israelis, which American officials, from President Joe Biden on down, have routinely ruled out."
