Long Time I haven't done a proper #caturday. Here it is

Numbers of African #Forest #Elephants 🐘🐘🐘 in #Nigeria have declined massively due to #palmoil #cocoa and #timber #deforestation, #poaching and farmers killing them for crop invasion. 😮😰Here’s how we protect them! #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect wp.me/pcFhgU-8SD?utm_source=ma…




I'm chasing sub 3 hours #Marathon within 1-2 years time. To my estimations I have about a 60% chance of achieving this goal.

Why am I doing it? The simple answer is "challenge". I like to challenge myself, I enjoy working hard towards a goal no matter how far reaching it is. But the real reason is that, I found peace in running, in its solitary, it's my way of meditation.

If you are into #running, let's connect, I love to hear your stories and learn from others mistakes 😁 and achievements.





Feds withdraw funding notice just before hearing


"Huang said the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had withdrawn the notice of funding opportunity, or NOFO, for the Continuum of Care program less than 90 minutes before a court hearing on both suits before District Court judge Mary S. McElroy in Rhode Island Monday. Cambridge city solicitor Megan Bayer told councillors that the judge “was very displeased with this last-minute change from the federal government, and specifically commented on how she worked all weekend to prepare for this hearing, and knows that plaintiff’s attorneys worked many hours, and she does not appreciate these shenanigans from the federal government.”

More updates on Jiji's urchin lifestyle. He is a thief, stealing items from my desk, Lego pieces from our builds, and Warhammer figurines while we build them. He's a beautiful majestic menace and we're impotent in stopping his reign of terror.

I find myself wandering the once familiar streets of Nightfall, following the intermittent buzzing of a flickering neon bulb toward what used to be a bustling part of town. After much detouring, dead ends and stepping over debris, I finally reached our ol' kiosk. The dusty shelves laid bare save for a few issues from Rek, Felix and myself.

I wonder where all the people that used to write for this corner have gone, if there isn't a shinier corner with avider readers that called them away, or if maybe writing has done its good work onto them so they didn't feel the need to anymore. Well, I'll hope so, it is now the fifth year since I began writing these bi-monthly pamphlets. After this, there will be one more left to pen this year.

@cathos i just thought it was a really nice person helping ppl aggregate their journals...

@Gargron A lovely little fellow. It was fun to hang out with them. A pro tip for being in an enclosure with dozens of birds: wear a rain jacket, a leather jacket, something easy to clean, 😀.

A side note, if I may: thank you for your work!

I was going to suggest calling them Danish (pastry) and (cinnamon) Roll to match the DR from The sign.

For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies—

For the wonder of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow’r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light—

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild—

Folliott S. Pierpoint

@Joyce Donahue One of my favourites.

Hi, Bean! Who's a good girl! Do you come with the bag?


I wrote my first uxntal program! (the code is embarrassing, I don’t know control flow yet ok just how to draw sprites)

Day 12: I wasn't around yesterday to work on anything, let alone write a devlog. Today, I was, but I had lots of little tasks to catch up so nothing really moved forward in any devlog-worthy sense. That being said, I did slip in a tiny improvement to SunflowerBASIC, I completed the implementation of MAKE, which exports the project as a uxn rom(similarly to Flick), which makes BASIC the second game dev engine for Varvara?

Since I didn't have anything graphical to show today, and that I fell in love with @adelfaure's psychedelic pixel font, I've written our great event's name with it.

Day 14: Spent the evening with @cancel bringing Uxn32 up to parity with the modern Varvara specification. The emulator was first completed when things were still coming together. Some notable changes that happened since 2023:

Originally, the screen sprite port used 0x00 to mean a clear block, regardless of the sprite data, that limitation was lifted so clearing can be done selectively
The expansion port copy function can now copy over a length of memory by starting from the start or the end.
The file device can append to a file, and get a single stat byte if needed to check a file-type.
The Uxn core can no longer error, division by zero gives a zero, and stacks are circular.

I've also added a flag to the uxn11 screen to accelerate full screen drawings projects, like in Oquonie and Polycat.

Day 15: Picked up where Michael Schierl left off with the Uxn implementation of the #CollapseOS runtime and made sure it all worked nicely with Drifloon(the tiny version of the self hosted Uxntal compiler). The current runtime binary is 2091 bytes large, looking at the code, it seems like I'll be able to bring it way down.

Lety Does Unboxing the Mastodon Stuffed Toys From Mastodon


Wake up babe, new Plushtodons just dropped, and I'm unboxing them 3 feet from the sidewalk like a fucking jackass. Meet Strawberry and Blueberry! Also this is by far the most anxiety-inducing video I have ever filmed in terms of people driving by and staring at me, and boy do I hope you guys think it's worth it by the end.

I'm not colorblind! I also want to clarify, you asked me what name I gave my plushies. Not all of the plushies! Those are not their colors! The colors are peach and blue. I know it's not precisely blue, but I did not want to use the word blurple.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Well that's going to be a problem because I've been calling them that for 48 hours now and changing their names at this point will give them an identity crisis

(I'm glad you're not colorblind ❤️​)



With the major floods in Washington State, I'm thinking of the incredible relevance that third places, the places that are not home and not work, have in emergency response.

Schools and churches serving as shelters. The State Fair grounds hosting evacuated farm animals. Community Colleges hosting the coordinating and logistics teams of the Red Cross.

Preserving third places is seeming very important for #ClimateAdaptation.
