Seth Godin, on point as always: https://seths.blog/2023/01/the-lonely-zone/ "more important is to decide to show up in the lonely zone. When it might not work. When the originator really needs your support. When speaking up, donating or simply showing up feels like a risk or a waste."

@ricard Just want to thank you for your "Improving Mastodon’s disk usage" post, it has really helped me out. From there I also found your photography and other posts. You're an inspiring person! Thank you.

@ian solid effort. The most I've managed is a few months. I said I would get back to it, I definitely should

@AndyPaciorekArt fantastic!!! Thank you for your inspiring posts and exceptional taste
