Midnight Pub

churning The Midnight toil

~tffb

I keep coming back here. Daily. Odd. I <3 M.p, and the folks here, but I keep coming back to say this and that when I don't have "a lot" to say. Even life updates - for those I keep up with through e-mail, they know what's going on with me, my future move to another part of Missouri, etc., and even that is a "wait on the USPS" game right now (until tomorrow? Or Friday?).

I asked the Webmaster of W.a to delete my old blogs from there, on Discuss.write.as, and I doubt he'll comply. I doubt he'll acknowledge such a request, because I am not a fire hydrant in NYC to snap a photo of with a vintage camera.

I also opened/closed a Mastodon acct today. The toxicity of the Mastodon TL "feed" (it's layout, some statuses there) flooded into my brain as if I had taken a half-step back from the firehose of debauchery of Twitter, proving to me that; yes, when one walks away from a true addiction, every step away is only as good as the next step further away from it.

So, I'll just say a few things on Midnight here and there, haha.

^C IRC chat is a treat, too. I love the Tilde family. True heroes of geekery, (seemingly endless) knowledge, and sincere character. Nice crowd :)

Until later, all

You know, I created a Mastodon account some time ago, I never used it too much. I started logging into my account more often this year and I kinda feel super overwhelmed by the feed / timeline. Even after I did a review of who I was following, making it a very succinct list.

But, honestly, it's been repelling me. I'm trying to process what it is, and I think it has to do with the "Twitter-like" format. It's too scattered, it's too noisy, too random. So I guess these micro-blogging formats are not for me anymore.

I prefer something like read.write.as or M.p. I still have to try out ^C IRC.

Take care!
