#staysafe

I know that I'm still not around very much, but you Gamepad friends come to mind very often. I hope you're all getting through, and I hope I can do a proper catchup soon. #staysafe #bekind

Well, I didn't get long in #FFXIV, but I'm on the L15 "Envoy" questline. So I'm learning some crafts in Limsa, and will pick up a couple in Gridania when I move onto there. And I'm starting to like my new Miqo'te. Just need to earn coin to get (from NPCs) or make better outfit items. It's weird not having Marketboard access, but at least I don't get choice overwhelm.

Coming soon to a #climate near you!

#Nature:

This El Niño is set to be the largest on record by a ‘mind-blowing margin’

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02293-y

Forecasters predict that the monster climate pattern will combine with global warming to push global temperatures in 2027 to new heights.

Good thing "climate change is a hoax" - But only #TrumpVirus (or the health czar with #brainworms) can save us.

Still remember #science? #education? #research? #PublicHealth as priorities?

#StaySafe

🍉💚 FROM GAZA WISHING OUR FRIENDS ACROSS EUROPE SAFETY AND RELIEF DURING THIS HEATWAVE. THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US. MAY YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY. IF YOU CAN, PLEASE SUPPORT MY FAMILY WITH A SMALL DONATION FOR FOOD, WATER, AND ESSENTIALS. EVERY CONTRIBUTION HELPS. 🍉 #Gaza #Palestine #Europe #Heatwave #StaySafe #Solidarity #Humanity #FreePalestine #MutualAid  https://chuffed.org/project/019dd4f2-f74a-7ef8-9752-9209219103d0 @mistergibson@turtleisland.social @simon_brooke@mastodon.scot @Lilith@chaos.social @apenkop@mstdn.social @marion_v@mastodon.social

If I've missed posts or replies the last few days, it's a combination of low social capacity, low energy, not much PC time and...forgetting to sync #OpenVibe which merges my Mastodon & Bluesky feeds. 🤦‍♂️ Now I've fixed that, it's meds & sleep time. G'night / #StaySafe / #BeKind

I haven't done anything for the 10th yet. I need to type up writing, then configure a new firewall and AdGuard machine for our home network, so that it's working by the time wifey and NJ get home on Saturday. I'd best go sleep. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

Right, I have a ... thing to be at tomorrow, so need to force my body to sleep earlier than normal. Look after yourselves. And in this world where there is too much hate, prize your friends and tell them so. Love and support each other. The world is /not/ all hate. #StaySafe / #BeKind

Right, my (real-life) glasses are hurting my nose, which means head pain's on the way. Time to sign off and take stuff from the office to the house in case I can't get out tomorrow. But at least I've caught up on in-game events in two games. When I return to questing in FFXIV, it'll probably be on my second main to get used to combat again, I need to rework the muscle memory. For now, it's meds and sleep time. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

Okay, it's time to do as my Belle #cat has done : curl up, shut the world out, and go to sleep. I've made tiny bits of progress on things today. But I need meds and rest again. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

Right, well, I didn't get into FFXIV, because I needed to do some extra work in relation to where my LOTRO content is archived, then fix a few other things. It's 4.30am and I need to calm myself and my pain down, then sleep. Going to be working on a basic wooden bookmark tomorrow. So drawing and fashioning with my hands. Should be more restful. Once I can wake the heck up anyway. Good night, #StaySafe and please #BeKind. There's too much of the other stuff already.

One piece of good news is that I've almost finished reconstructing my #FFXIV apartment. I moved servers to join a friend who had an Eternal Bonding recently. But, in low light, remaking this was a late night worth having a couple of days ago. (Alt text will be by @altbot@fuzzies.wtf because I need to do pyrography and stop posting about things.) But I wanted to share. Remember to #StaySafe, and please, please... #BeKind. Someone's gotta, and it may as well be us. #FF14 #MMO #MMORPG #Miqote

Well, I had hoped to try some gaming tonight, but I needed to start getting my head around the direction of my serial fiction, and deciding on how best to timeline my next "novel-length" piece. I also thought I'd *lost* a chapter of the serial story. Thankfully, I found it again. I'm still fighting some illness and massive over-tiredness, but at least I can give all these things some space now. But it's now 4am, so I need food, meds and sleep. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

I spent a couple hours thia afternoon walking back streets in #Toronto this afternoon. I suspect I know why #Canada doea so well at mogul skiing. #winter #snow #staysafe #staywarm

If my site is running a bit slow, folks, it's because I broke my local #apache installation and so I'm having to create an export from the live site. I'll have to leave this running and go get meds & sleep. And de-stress, because that was kinda the point. G'night / #StaySafe

For a good time, follow the relentlessly decent @tod@hci.social I suspect there are 12 of him, or he is a Ryan Reynolds clone. Funny, diligent, working for all #Canadians #MirrorFalls is his new-ish passion ✅️ it out wherever you find podcasts. #HealthcareInfusion has developed into a national phenomenon to engage #AmericanHealthCare workers to drive north and work and feel safe. An organic grassroots movement. Find out here. https://engageq.notion.site/infusionhosts I recognize the fervour and danger of that personality. #StaySafe, 🇨🇦 is watching your back. @todmaffinvideo on the Youtube.

Staying safe online:  Can you trust AI? We’re increasingly relying on AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini to search for information online.
