mastodon 4.7.3I'm a crepuscular poet who drifts between phases irregularly, carried by an unrequited romance with the Moon. If you create something that's the right shape, poetry may fall out of me.
In reality I'm a British European in southern England who marinaded in Scotland and the Westcountry.
Follow requests are welcome.
I will gladly accept more poetry.

If you're tooting from #Mastodon and you include a link it'll always count as 23 characters regardless of length, so there's no need to use link shorteners here. The Fedi tends to attract people who are privacy-conscious and many of us won't click these types of links - we don't know where they're going, who's control they're under and what tracking goes into them.
From the horse's mouth, it's sometimes a lot: https://bitly.com/blog/tracking-link/

@Aphelion@mastodon.sdf.org someone you made, a bit part in a tragicomedy of the stars, twinkling their last before becoming the nova you never expected.

While they were tucked up
with their four walls and peaked roofs
I ventured up the valley
to gaze at our home.

@jwtownshend@toot.wales your toot is sitting atop @katherine_montalto@zirk.us who may do. I know @nash@labyrinth.social is in the zine space, as I think @nebulos@comicscamp.club .

Invoke the nocturnal melancholy with the beautiful EP "Longing Heart of the North Star" by Convair, and let the feels loose.

@haubles@hachyderm.io #Fediverse. It's already established and busy, helps divest servers from the smaller Mastodon sphere and doesn't scare non-techies with the use of "server" in the tag.

@checkervest Glad to see you did not punch the Moon, please do not punch the Moon.
Did you help the astronomers find the constellations?
Replying to
@aparrish it'd sure be a less attractive solution to a nonproblem if it cost at least £5000/month.
Replying to
@danmccullough@ecoevo.social I find the same for constellations. Always find them with a friend and that friend will always be there in some way.
#LoadingReadyRun discover #BonkWave but have not yet come to realise it.
After gross transphobe graham lineham assaulted Sophia and in the process, broke her phone, it has been ruled there was not enough evidence to retain his conviction that he did so.
"Sophia Brooks respects the legal process. She would like to thank the Crown Prosecution Service and notes the ruling of Mrs Justice Tipples and the lay magistrates."
May we all have the moral fortitude that she shows in such a statement.

@greene@wandering.shop swoon! I will never forget waiting at a small level crossing for a train to pass, watching a towering cumulonimbus dominating the sky. No other clouds dared show themselves while this thing fulminated away, whorls upon whorls of motile water.

@checkervest@laserdisc.party reminds me of your (constructive) rants about laypeople "colourising" old photos and only using drab colours, because in the Olden Times we didn't have nice colours and everyone was sad. Said rants live in my head and I do not charge them rent.

There is some sort of strong vibe coming from a screech owl making a little home in a prickly plant, with an opening just large enough to peek from. Keeping at bay the searing, truculent outside world but still being able to observe it from a safe distance.

@LeonianUniverse@caneandable.social Enemies will also tend to go through gaps in a wall, so you can design walls in such a way that attracts them into areas where you have the advantage - barricades set-up a good distance so you can get shots on them and have melee people hiding close by, who can swoop in when the time is right.

@elduvelle I am really surprised that so few folk opted for anything other than "slop can fuck right off."
Replying to
@LeonianUniverse@caneandable.social If you have furniture outside that can attract them (e.g. a seating area), place them in positions that are both useful to you, and in the path that enemies might take. The time they spend kicking the crap out of your stools is time you have to prepare. If there are specific routes that pawns like to walk then build cover in areas that can target them. Buy, tame and train animals as they'll help slow down and injure enemies. Areas with straw matting and incendiary traps are Fun.
Replying to
@LeonianUniverse@caneandable.social hopefully this info dump helps:
take advantage of the terrain where possible. If you have water, sand, marsh etc., enemies will consider it an expensive path. They'll also path as close to corners as they can, so traps here are very effective. They'll attack accessible tech like coolers, so recess them and put a trap in front of them.

@prahou I think I agree with these messages, but primarily because that's the only way to quieten the scratching sounds they make.
