For any goodreads users, I've created a python script that will parse the CSV file you can export to create a gemini page of currently reading, want to read, and finished reading https://git.sr.ht/~swiftmandolin/gemini-goodreads

Never ever ever give police discretion in how to enforce rules. Ontario's new pandemic rules give cops discretion to decide if your reason for being somewhere is sufficient.

In practice this means only white people can go outside.

it's comforting, in a way, being able to have fun on a social network that nobody's ever heard of

Lol getting notifications about all my conservative contacts joining Signal

I hope the extreme right doesn’t get Signal taken away or that because I use Signal I’m associated with extreme right-wing politics 😅

2020 was wild but I read 12 books in about 5 months and have come to love reading. I was never a reader and had never liked it growing up.

The first book I read this year was Dune by Frank Herbert and then finished the year off with A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami. It was a good year for books. 2021 is looking even better:

I plan to read the LOTR series having never read it or even watched the movies.

I plan to read the Harry Potter series (read book 1 2020).

I plan to also read the entire Bible.

I got a few more Murakami books as well and who knows what else!

happy to be back online again. I have AT&T cellular and fiber and have been disconnected from the world for 2 days.

It was pretty great, not gonna lie. But, the circumstances were not so great :(

my overexposed and chromatically aberrated attempt at capturing the great conjunction today. i added an annotated version so you can tell what's what.
