I've written a little script for the powRSS Mastodon account to find posts from the Random section on the main site . The idea is to bring visibility to older blogs which may not have published recently.

Some of you have e-mailed me with ideas for doing poetry or…
This post is mirrored from my website at ENOCC.com Ava published a great piece on the way social media platforms exploit our desire for human connection. Which is why the need for connectivity in the way these companies mean it and push it is a big lie just to further their financial interests and has nothing to do with how humans actually pursue, facilitate and experience true connection, and we…
