not bad for a first version of the cover for what will (eventually) be the #othernetworks #zine [LATER: AND NO I DIDN'T MEAN TO INVENT A NEW WAY TO SPELL "FUTURES" IT TURNS OUT MAKING WORDS OUT OF X's IS HARD]
8.5"x11" sheet of white paper folded in half with ASCII style art spelling out "OTHER NETWORKS OTHER FUTURES" with the letter 'x.' a hand drawn image of an imaginary network topology appears underneath the title along with typewritten "LORI EMERSON / BOULDER, CO". hand drawn black border.

#Caturday #CatsOfMastodon
One of the brothers has totally different rules when laying down, often stretching neck way out or, as in this case, smashing face into the blanket. This is a half-smashed face mode, the other half of face has eye open and is looking at us. Who knows the mind of the cat?

My calico cat Carrie standing directly in front of the keyboard as my tuxedo cat Tiffie is standing right next to her, Tiffie looking at Carrie curiously as Carrie has a mildly grumpy look on her face. In front of them the PC monitor is showing the title screen from season 5 of Marvel Rivals, with Rogue and Gambit having a picnic and several other stats visible on screen.

He can't actually sit on the keyboard, but he can still be in the way.

#Caturday

The keyboard in front of the computer monitor has a clear acrylic shelf over it to keep the cat off the keys. A tabby cat is sitting with his back feet and butt on the shelf, his front feet on the desk in front of it. There are two framed items on the wall and a small cabinet atop a metal filing cabinet in the background.

Three years ago today, we opened the doors to our corner of the Fediverse. 💙

What started as an idea has grown into a friendly space for good conversations, smart humor, and authentic interactions. It’s been amazing watching this community grow with all of you.

Thank you to everyone who’s shared, posted, and made Vivaldi Social part of their online space. You’ve helped shape this community into what it is today.

Here’s to everyone who’s been part of it, and to all the new voices we’ll meet along the way.

Happy 3rd birthday, Vivaldi Social! 🎉

Another victory for those who chose to stand and fight instead of folding! The AAUP wins in their case against the administration's unlawful blackmail of the UC system. Congrats AAUP and the UC faculty! I'm a proud UC Davis alum today.

It's worth reading the whole judgement, which in plain speak speak lays out how far outside the law the administration is, and how weak their defense.

(US Citizens) Want Billionaires Out Of Politics—And Think They’re A Threat To Democracy, Poll Shows


"A rising number of Americans believe billionaires pose a threat to democracy, newly released data shows, and seven in 10 want the ultra wealthy to play a smaller role in U.S. politics amid an administration that has publicly cozied up to the country’s richest people."

Because an upper limit for private wealth had been discussed once, here is what you could do with three (3) million Euro in Germany:
- nice house in a quiet area 500k
- nice car 150k
- nice boat 500k
- small but nice airplane 350k
Put the remaining 1.5m into stocks with dividends and even with a meager 5% you have 75k a year to spend, more than 6k a month or 200 per day. And you don't need to work at all. With "just" three million.

It's not like a billionaire can walk out of a bank with a billion dollars in cash (euros, whatever.) In terms of personal wealth it's all funny money after a couple million or so. There's no need for billionaires or even hundred millionaires.

This just in!✨

I have a limited number of sets of 5 Hobbiton-in-the-snow greeting cards with envelopes at albaillustration.com/original-…. They feature gold foil on the front and a wonderful hopeful message from the kindest, most steadfast character in fiction (who also happens to be our son's namesake!).

UPDATE: only 5 sets left!

#tolkien #holidays #christmas #winter #yule #greetingcards #snailmail #art #illustration #snow #fantasyart #fediart #mastoart #artshop

Photograph of the greeting cards held in a hand, along with envelopes. The greeting card features an illustration of Hobbiton covered in snow, with inviting warmly lit windows, smoke coming from chimneys, and snow covered and bare branch trees.
The back of the greeting card features the quote from Samwise Gamgee: "Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer."

Hobbiton in the Snow Greeting Cards — Elisabeth Alba Illustration

This listing is for a set of 5 flat 4.6x7.2 inch greeting cards featuring my art of Hobbiton in the Snow, with gold foil lettering on the front. You can see the front and back in the photos.
