Surprise upgrade to 2.7.0 -- https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.7.0 -- (well, it wasn't a surprise to me, but it might be to you).

I just got a tutorial screen which was ... nice I guess?

My dog Zeus, doing his snow plow Impression.

I mean, technically it _was_ posted to Mastodon today, I guess.

This scan of a newsletter is from 1971 but it could just as easily have been posted to Mastodon today.

From https://logicmag.io/06-mainframe-interrupted/ on Joan Greenbaum's attempt to unionize computing.

I didn't see you not looking when I messed up

I didn't even know this was a thing! https://beautifulracket.com/ -- Beautiful Racket by Matthew Butterick -- I love his writing and have been looking for something to re-ignite my #racket spark (cc @m455b)

Just saw a man in shorts. The moment it goes above zero Ottawans just lose their minds.

I am extremely lucky, and grateful, that:

- I have health coverage (insurance and also living in Canada)
- I have money for things coverage doesn't cover
- This was even diagnosed at all (it was noticed "by accident" on a head CT)
- I have friends and family around me

But I am nonetheless feeling a bit sorry for myself. </insom>

I had a missed call and voicemail from my oral surgeon. What I expected to be "the CT after your first surgery looks great, just one final surgery and you're fixed" is actually "you are not improving like I expected and I need to refer you to a more specialised specialist".

I am not normally someone who takes to social media about this stuff but I am feeling pretty bummed about it, friends.

I've been dealing with this on-and-off for about 15 years.

I like that my new Kindle has the white text through grey look that early 90s laptops had. Reminds me of my youf.
