Well, thanks for the dreams I guess

# *Cupido minimus* <small>by Ludovic 'Archivist' Lagouardette</small> — See Mark, my father said softly, look how with a thin blade I can help it out of the cocoon From the viewport, I could see outer space, the almost infinite expanses of the galaxy. My father, dressed in a heavy red and golden jacket, was sitting next to the terrarium on the table. — Are you listening Mark? — Yes, Father My father straightened his back. A complicated feat for a man that already kept it so straight. The m…
My father was now to the verge of crying, his eyes were swelling with tears that the lack of gravity in our ship could not let roll on his cheeks. — See, Mark, these Baronets have now the duty to keep the memory of these animals alive. Maybe Todd's father is right now sitting next to his son, at a desk similar to this, showing him the empty terrarium that held the last of the very small creatures they were tasked to defend. — Does it mean that Todd will learn to draw? Father was surprised by …

#PennedPossibilities 1126: Tell us what your narrator sounds like in your mind.
Stephen Fry
No contest. I can't help it, I loved him in QI and for some reason it's his voice I hear now.
The story needs someone who can deliver a line like "We draw from the observable facts" with the exasperated patience of a schoolmaster explaining long division to a g…

“#Tradition is peer pressure from dead people.” A trite enough joke, but true. I’m reading “The Last Neanderthal” by Ludovic Slimak. He thinks he’s found small bits—some teeth and some finger bones—of what may be, if not the last, then one of the last, of the Neanderthal peoples. He has a hell of a time pinning it down. Flint stone blade techniques had discernible styles and progressions that lasted 10s of 1000s of years, because “that’s the way dear departed dad & grampa did it.”

I've finally finished post-prod on my photos from #emf2026. Identifiable individuals posted with their permission. Bystander faces blurred to comply with EMF photo policy. Many further pictures follow in this thread. #emf #emfcamp

The food area at EMF 2026. Several food stalls are doing busy trade, with the nearest selling vege flatbreads and wraps, and the next Greek gyros. EMF banners hang from a line of poles. In the foreground are people eating on benches. In the distance is the red swap tent, surrounded by a crowd.
The EMF Swap Shop. A red gazebo, with tables underneath. On the tables and in boxes around the gazebo, are piles of old electronic devices and components. A crowd of people are picking through the piles and talking about what they have found. Attached to a leg of the gazebo are A4 two posters. One says "I am part of the swap shop. Please do not swap me!". The other is headed "How to Swap Shop". Taped to one of the tables is another A4 poster headed "Orphan Source Joke Swear Box" with a QR code.
A Sinclair C5 electric tricycle sits parked on the brown grass near the EMF2026 Swap Shop.
A datenklo at EMF2026. This is a portaloo cabin with lots of cables running under the door. Attached to a rear corner is a wooden pole with an electric downlight, an LED display light, and a "Fire Extinguisher" sign. On the door is a sign advertising "VIP Luxury Toilet Hire", and a smaller sign taped on explaining that this is Datenklo DK F12, providing electricity, wifi, ethernet and phone coverage. It is not a toilet. Behind the datenklo are a number of tents of various sizes.

@… Dear Staff
This is not OK. #Palestinian civilians are living in a situation we can barely imagine: displaced, their homes destroyed, living crowded into flimsy tents with no sanitation, half starved, under daily bombardment. And, of course, excluded from corpo…

It’s Mastodon’s policy, too. I’ve fallen into a state of severe depression because of them and their frequent account suspensions.

Wieder einmal der supergeile Kichererbsensalat mit dem supergeilen Dressing (Dijonsenf! Dill! Kewpie-Mayonnaise!) und der knackigen Stangensellerie. #nommention

Chickpea Salad With Fresh Herbs and Scallions Recipe • 5★ (Gift Recipe)
A lighter, easier take on classic American potato salad, this version uses canned chickpeas in place of potatoes and favors Greek yogurt over mayonnaise. The trick to achieving the creamy texture of traditional potato salad is to mash some of the chickpeas lightly with a fork. It travels well, so it deserves a spot at your next picnic or desk lunch.

' Canada's 'powerful' dairy sector is in Trump's trade crosshairs:
Canada's dairy supply management system is in the spotlight after the US president singled it out as one of three main irritants used to justify new tariffs. '
Canada has a very safe dairy supply and we don't want American Big Agro selling into our markets to ruin our health with their "products".

Oh my, I just bought something from eBay for the first time in 15 years — wish me luck! My last experience (selling a laptop then) was super stressful, when the buyer ended up being a fraudster and it took months to get the money...
This time I ordered a dry heat press for my silver gelatin prints, very similar (but larger) to what I had in my first darkroom 35-40 years ago... My current approach pressing fiber prints under 20kg of books takes far too long and isn't scalable (in time …
