omg, it only took me a month and a half with 50 or so failures wipes restores wipes and finally a fresh install after losing 3 database backups and imports, lost a few days of posts over all, but I finally got my #friendica instance upgraded to Friendica 'Blutwurz' 2026.04-dev - 1589 with php 8.5.2, and so far it appears to actually be working this time, i love friendica, I just wish the @Friendica Admins @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support had made it a bit more flexible every little change breaks everything, and it becomes a nearly never ending chase to customize and keep current, anyways for now I think my quite little instance is upgraded and running;

There's this beautiful line in #Tomte's Die Schönheit der Chance ("the beauty of chance" — mind you, there's no German word for serendipity).

It's not the sun going down,
It's the earth turning...

Das ist nicht die Sonne, die untergeht,
Sondern die Erde, die sich dreht…

Our publishing co-op is looking for a marketing volunteer, which could lead to paying work once we are funded or selling more books. (We are currently developing a crowdfunding campaign / investment round to launch later this fall.)

We publish #SciFi, #poetry, #fiction, #memoir, #philosophy, and #art. Please help spread the the word!

Thank you, for this tremendous #photo — like a waking #dream or #time #travel.

Which is how I feel about the #desert in general & I’m fortunate to have visited this one, in particular: White Desert (aka ‘Farrafra’) in #Egypt .

Here’s a #book I wrote about my transporting desert experiences— with #photography 🙏🏼✨

Yahia Lababidi: Desert Songs - The Culturium -

Yahia Lababidi shares his latest volume of mystical poetry, "Desert Songs", exquisitely illustrated by the photography of Zakaria Wakrim.

Given the very serial and ephemeral nature (of attention) on mastodon (or twitter), I'm now considering:

toot for this week's stuff, each also pointing to ...
federated blog (e.g WriteFreely) for this month's stuff, each also pointing to ...
personal wiki, everything, organised by date, category, hashtag, shoe size, etc.

Could that work? Would it be of interest?
