New blog post: Indexing the Weird Wild Web
Hey there, I'm Wolfie and this is my #introduction!
I've recently moved from @veggie_wolfie and my main account is @wolfie
I'm 36 and Ive been #vegetarian since I turned 18 in 2002, with occasional forays into #vegan alternatives in recent years.
I would describe my cooking skill level as: can follow a recipe and switch ingredients according to preference/to make it veggie, but also often lacking spoons to make anything too complicated
Here to share and enjoy recipes and such!
I'm thinking we should start a hashtag for calming photos of moss.

Here's another photo, for luck! 🍀

welsh police violence / death of black person / crowdfunding
This is the GoFundMe page for Mohamud Mohammed Hassan, who died after receiving many severe injuries while in police custody in Cardiff. The family is looking for money to pay for legal fees because the police are currently saying there was no misconduct.

Guys, with a new garden year soon beginning I was wondering:
Do you guys think Mastodon would enjoy to see some selfsustainable gardening content? I'm thinking about making an account where I post my progress :)

We had a little #garden tidy up yesterday, emptied and rinsed pots, collected Nastertium seeds. Now to plan what we're going to grow this year.

Meta, fascists
AWS is yanking Parler, which means it will probably go offline at least for a while.
This is an especially important time to be vigilant about fascists on the fediverse and not give any foothold to them. They'll be casting around for a new home rn and this mustn't become one.
Please use the #fediblock tag to alert for fascist instances.

uspol, walled gardens, surveillance capitalism
Let's be very clear here: in no small part the blame for what happened today lies with surveillance capitalism.
It is *profitable* to put right-wing/fascist/conspiratorial content in front of more eyeballs, since it generates more "engagement". So Facebook, YouTube and others became perfect channels for this kind of crap.
Big Tech made money on this, for them today's insurrection is an "externality".
