That stuff cheers me up no end and a regular dose of them in to some kind of inbox would be grand. Either fediverse or indieweb.
I searched https://pixelfed.social and nothing came up.

No. LABOUR made it. LABOUR made my phone, my laptop, the internet, this website, my clothing, my house, all social media, and everything else. LABOUR makes things, Capitalism doesn’t because economic systems don’t ‘make’ anything, they just determine who gets paid for making things.

Just reading through the politics page (https://wiki.sunbeam.city/doku.php?id=politics), great place to start if you’re interested in social ecology and communalism and where they fit in the context of other tendencies.

I don’t particularly want to use Firefox Sync.
UPDATE: Oh yeah – there’s a whole bunch of Ansible playbooks if you search for them.
To the point that I often did not want to leave my room. I found it difficult to be in a room with other people, eat in public, stand in line at the supermarket. It really affected my mental health and development of relationships.
I still have remnants of it now, in that I’m fairly quiet in social situations and not the most gregarious. But it has mostly gone away, to the point that I can go to events, even do occasional public speaking, and not really worry about it.
So I guess I wanted to say, if you currently have it, or know someone who does – you can definitely overcome it.

Visible mending: Everyday repairs in the South West:
‘The project was inspired by an attraction to the aesthetics of these workplaces, but also by an interest in what the practices of fixing, mending, repair and renewal could reveal about the way people value things, and each other.’

We learned about the components of mechanics, dynamics and aesthetics in games. Me and Panda hacked the mechanics of Surakarta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surakarta_(game)) to turn it into a game of cooperation and swapping, rather than a game of battle and capture. We only had chance to play it once with the new rules, but it worked surprisingly well and induced more high-fiving than the original (which induced none.)
