“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
- Kurt Vonnegut
Took Heidi to watch her first movie in the "cinema" today. She made it and had a good time! We also spent last night sleeping under the moon and stars on the trampoline...@mary tapped out early😂 At least she got some decent sleep. Seeing your 6YO daughter's beautiful face in the moonlight while she looks at you and whispers, "I love you", beats pretty much anything.
A pretty cool thing about the Fediverse:
It will still be around in a decade. Even two decades.
Usenet still exists. IRC still exists. Email still exists. When you build platforms on open protocols and standards, it doesn't actually matter what corporations try and do to enshittify it. So long as there are people who are still willing to run instances, and users who still want to talk to one another without going through some corporation's platform, it'll still be here.
