@boysmithers just become an insomniac. I've got the opposite problem, I rarely have enough quality content to get me through the night.

One moment you’re young and carefree; next you’re just happy that your grocery pickup order had no stockouts or substitutions.

At some point during the Dark Years, I realized that I had lost my sense of wonder. I came to see that wonder does not abide companionably alongside outrage. My (well-deserved) outrage had cost me my sense of wonder, and I was devastated. It has gradually returned, and I realized today that what I’m experiencing here is the full-on return of wonder. I’m absolutely reveling in it every day when I see and share art and photos and good-natured humor and community. Just wow. #Mastodon

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost - Nan Goldin

Just discovered the hide boosts function. Wish I'd have looked for this before. Now I can be inspired by artists who post their beautiful work without having the mood killed and my opinion of them dragged down by some petty political post they've boosted.

Bah, the VPS running my private Mastodon instance ran out of disk space last night. After some attention everything seems to have come back online OK, but apologies if I've missed anything. Adding a cleanup job to cron to run nightly...

@AndyPaciorekArt @bookstodon bah!!! I love this series and would buy them every time I saw them. They aren't locally available where I live now tho and postage is horrendous, so I haven't purchased any for years. At least I don't have to fight the urge 🤣

@mrshll Thank you! They look fantastic, what a collection! I haven't actually read most of those either. Not a bad way to find your next book to read, slowly hunting down a collection like that
