Your mom boosts my toots

fyi, since many people don't know this exists:
Almost all computer screens made in the last decade support DDC/CI. (The Display Data Channel Command Interface).
You can use it to control stuff like the backlight brightness without fiddling with the awful screen buttons and OSD.

On Linux once you load the ddcci kernel module the screens appear in /sys/class/backlights and can be controlled like a laptop screen.

Last night was the first time I turned the heater on in the barn for the last two winters. The goats haven’t so much as poked their little heads out, and the mercury is plummeting. It’s dropped 10° in the last hour here in northern Connecticut.
Hoping those in even colder conditions stay safe over the next 24 hours!

We must support transgender children so they can survive to be transgender adults.

Pay attention to how people around you react to the #TyreNichols video. If their response is anything other than abject horror and anger at the police that beat a man to death with absolutely no fear of consequences (they knew they were on camera)... If they start making excuses or start saying what Tyre should have done... those people have failed the psychopath test.
Cut them out of your life. They're not worth a second more of your time.

I didn’t used to read CNET, definitely not going to start.

Hi There!

Hey, give book agent and all around great guy Matt Wagner -- @MattWagner -- a follow and a smile!

He's a "pending Twitter refugee" and he'll quickly learn Mastodon is the place to be!

Matt has been my agent for almost, get this... I just... counted...

THIRTY YEARS!

Ouch! Yay! Why did I count the years? Ha! I'm old.

Way back when the world was young, Matt repped my first Windows 95 book and it's been smooth delights and calm seas ever since.

"Hullo am American media would you like to know what slur of the day the same ten Nazis we broadcast every day said today? Sure you do. Want to hear what legislature the person they called a slur is passing? I told you before: you didn't. Anyway here's a list of slurs--"

Woke up and saw my shadow, so it looks like it's 30 more years of work

He actually caused the Whitmer attempted murder by tweeting about Free Michigan that sick fuck!

Heavy stone doors protect the entrance to Qasr Azraq (the blue fort), Jordan, called Basienis by the Romans. Some are as heavy as 3 tons, but still move quite easily. The original Romans fort was used and developed by Byzantine, Umayyad, Ayyubid and Ottoman Turk armies. The fort's current layout dates to the 13th century when it was redesigned by the Ayyubids. Lawrence of Arabia used the fort as a base #Roman #RomanArchaeology #Archaeology #RomanFortThursday

One thing I'm absolutely loving about Mastodon is the incredible, niche communities I'm discovering via hashtags.

Here are some that I'm loving:

#RomanFortThursday
#Caturday (okay not niche, but you know...cats)
#Mosstodon
#Astrodon
#MedievalMastodon and #Medievaldons
#IlluminatedManuscript

Goes without saying #bookstodon is a must.

Got anymore - share them below! I'm collecting inspiration. 🤗

@mmpadellan I followed you on Twitter before I closed my account there. I highly recommend following you to all Mastodonians. Welcome!

It's been a while guys. Feels like the bird app is crumbling under the sheer stupidity of the new owner. I give it another 3 months before it's a TOTAL shitshow.

Meanwhile, I'm using this thing called Movetodon.org to follow as many of you as I can at once while I still can (Musk will no longer allow it next week).

I hope this Movetodon works. 🤞
