Phew, only just made the #writing deadline this time round. Episode four or my #scifi #vr series #1kYears finally out now: Dream Team.
It‘s free and (hopefully) fun. It‘s also #football themed, to get fellow fans of a sport I love watching, despite all the disgusting commercialization, into the right mood for the upcoming World Cup Finals.
The #Worldcup is important, but a promise is a promise, and so I found time for a little #writing. Bit of a compromise, less obviously #scifi than usual, and a short short, but oh well...

„You’re anyway supposed to have started at age six. To make it into the top, imperative to start early. Real early. Which you didn’t, Lano. To the best of my knowledge, and loads of knowledge there is, with all the jerseys I get to wash these days, over...“
well shit. another of my editors (that's FOUR now) have had to step down.
i love them all, i really do, but now instead of gaining the FIVE we need from the applications we've received, we're actually only up ONE.
if any women-identified folks would like experience being an editor for a fucking awesome lit mag, fill out the application!
#worldcup Totally not into any nationalism, but aren’t the Eagles doing great?
Torn between #worldcup and #writing, I did what I do best whenever in doubt about whatever: #reading
Today’s great DailySF reminded me that
a) there are far better #scifi writers than humble me out there, and for free.
Rediscovery of this non-news promptly lead to decision
b) no reason not to watch that match.
Enjoy

What would be incredibly helpful would be a system where we all chip in and help each other out. We all have advantages and disadvantages in life, and it would be really amazing if we could change the world for the better such that everyone has a chance to thrive.

The tall cats are strange, loud and smelly. I try to improve the scent with my own. Their food smells amazing though but they hardly ever share it - I try to show them what sharing is, but my offerings are snubbed and buried away. I'd be insulted if they didn't designate food JUST for me. I'D share it if they wanted some.
At least they're warm on cold nights. And it's fun when they pretend their feet are some kind of prey under the sheets.
The bakery used dreams instead of yeast. They cost a lot--the harvesting and processing equipment was expensive--but the euphoria that came from eating dream breads was worth the price.
It wasn't until other companies imitated their products that overharvesting became a concern.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH YOU GORGEOUS HUMAN BEINGS

There's #goodtrends going on all the time that are easy to miss. Too often media focuses on single dramatic events. Humans are naturally more risk averse than opportunity seeking. But we are also more opportunity seeking than any other species ever.
Gonna try to find and share more here.

#mastodon developers: have you noticed any #OAuth errors with your apps? Today I discovered that my apps (bitlbee-mastodon and mastodon-archive) and others (I tried #tootstream) cannot get authorized on dice.camp, tabletop.social and social.nasqueron.org but it works for octodon.social. My existing dice.camp credentials keep working, though. I just can't get new ones. Both dice.camp and octodon.social seem to use Mastodon 2.3.3 so that does not seem to be the problem. Ideas?
