@jarrod Guilty as charged. It was three days after we climbed Katahdin. We'd stayed in Harper's Ferry at a hostel and were getting ready to cross the bridge over the Shenendoah River and head into the woods. The shelters north and south of HF are some of the nicest on the trail with big wooden decks and benches.

Stop benefitting from the internet, it’s not for you to enjoy, it’s for us to use to extract money from you. Stop finding beauty and connection in the world, loneliness is more profitable and easier to control. Stop being human. A mindless bot who makes regular purchases is all that’s really needed. — Cat Valente

This Japanese Maple was only a couple of feet tall when my grandmother died. It was in her yard. My grandfather dug it up & gave it to me. Twenty-nine years later it greets me every time I walk out my front door. I love it.

@grubz Go figure. I hate the Internet sometimes! Computers are too complicated. they will never catch on.
@Havn You are running some class apps! I have never been able to get Hookmark to click for me sadly. I will be investigating FuzzyTime and PixelSnap. I am not familiar with them.
@matt I got Rocket and even sent the Dev the optional $10 because it's such a good product but I struggle to find it more useful than the Raycast emoji picker. What do you like it better?
@jhpot Where do I get a subscription? Also, will you be soliciting any contributing writers? LOL
@gedeonm This entire election cycle and the media has been weird. I unsubscribed from the NYT after 20 years because their coverage got so bad and now I see the same kind of hands-off Trump stuff everywhere. I would hate to think that it is as simple as them desiring a trump presidency because he drives ratings and subscriptions. It's either that or a bunch of right-wingers have been put in place by quarterly report types who value $ over integrity.
@jb.heydingus.net Hey man, how do you get your posts listed in the writing category of the Discover page? I have tried using the 📝 emoji and assigning them to a category called "Writing" but neither seems to work for me.
@preslavrachev I'd be really sad. Social media is a way I keep track of memories and keep track of people I don't know through any other medium.
@grubz Thank you for letting me know that you got something out of it. I wasn't sure that this message would resonate outside of 12 Step meeting, even though by my way of thinking this is a universal condition and not just one for addicts.
@Denny I'm disappointed in what the micro.blog discovery feed has turned into. It goes days without updates. On Scribbles, the feed is actually similar to what's on BearBlog. it's just a chronological list of posts. It's just that Scribbles has a much smaller active user base. I'm glad to see that you are getting some use out of Blogroll.club. @jedda and I keep an eye on the submissions and have done our best to keep out anything that doesn't subscribe to the IndyWeb ethos.
@aa Yeah, the Morehead City area has some brilliant sunrises. I hope you made it up that way while you were in NC
@jtr You should use the paper and pen method then. It stimulates your brain in the same way, but you don't get caught up in the extraneous crap.
@maique No offense, because I dig tattoos, but this is a truly spooky photo. I love it.
@mandaris I need help installing this plugin. Will it be on the Micro,blog plugin page? I could not figure out how to do it manually.
@V_ I use archive.ph and its browser extension to read whatever I want on Medium. It's the best paywall buster I have ever tried.

@mbkriegh I really like the t-shirt in the window photo with the reflection. Very nice.
@petebrown Yeah, poverty and child sexual and physical abuse 100% existed in the good old days. The vernacular was full of hateful language and our Moms couldn't get a credit card in her own name.
