(3 of 3) .... change the trajectory of their lives by not following in their fathers' painful footsteps. That doesn't just change your lives, it changes all our lives.

So thank you to all the men who've tried and often succeeded in reshaping what men are permitted to be, and the influence they have on all of us.

Hmmm....
getting this flashing messages reading "Rate Limited Please retry after 3:45:00 PM" again

What ever does this mean? This just keeps happening over and over again.

Oh - now that it's 8:30 am my time, it stopped, but what might have been going on?

I do sometimes love a good tournament game of any sport, even when I'm ignorant. But I'm feeling particularly out of the loop with the world cup this year. As I posted elsewhere (and yes, I know this refers to American football, but still...)

Going through my hard disk, finding interesting things I stored, who know how long ago...

Once again, a reminder that Wonkodon will be down for a few hours today starting around noon USA Pacific NW time (thanks @admin and @LandShark!)

Wonkodon, your beloved local instance, will be UPGRADING our server software.

Expect an outage starting about NOON on SATURDAY 12/17 and going on for a few hours.

If all goes well, we'll come back to a new & improved Mastodon, with better search features and other bells and whistles. If not, we'll put the old version back in place, and figure out what went wrong.

So: on Saturday, don't panic when you can't visit here - just check back later in the day to see how it's going.

I've been working understanding what makes the Fediverse different from other social media. This diagram keeps coming to me as I sort it out - took me a while to track down where I'd seen it (link below) but I finally found it.

Graphic representations - diagrams, charts, whatever - really help me understand the lay of the land under our feet.

The app lets me add text, and also offers me cropping, flipping, and rotation options
