Eva Winterschön<p>🫤 Tired of WebDev 🫤</p><p>Microblog, had to say googbye, so I moved my Prose blog to Ghost.io, fine. It's mostly good. Chopped up a theme to get rid of the "sign up" stuff that I don't care about. This isn't for making money and I don't care if anyone signs up. Fine, but I want comment functions.</p><p>Ghost doesn't do one thing very well: enable mastodon comment replies directly. Some JS blah later, and now I have embedded mastodon comments which can be viewed on the post and via mastodon. Great.</p><p>Oh, but Ghost has a beta ActivityPub integration. So to complicate things, here are my two Masto accounts, one with a bridge that is supposed to be useful?</p><p>- Standard: <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@winterschon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>winterschon</span></a></span> <br>- Ghost Bridge: <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://prose.winterschon.com/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>eva</span></a></span> </p><p>Oh you want a HTTP URL: <br>- Regular - Yes: <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@winterschon" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">mastodon.bsd.cafe/@winterschon</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>- Ghost - Broken: <a href="https://prose.winterschon.com/@eva" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">prose.winterschon.com/@eva</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Doesn't work as expected.

-- America’s Mouth Is Full of Blood --
Metal scrapes enamel. That specific sound teeth make when hygienist finds the tender spot. My mouth stretched wide by latex fingers and chrome instruments. Can’t speak. Can’t swallow. Can’t look away from the ceiling TV where CNN scrolls red banners about political assassination.
“Just a little pressure here,” she says, digging deeper.
Minnesota lawmaker dead. Husband dead. Second lawmaker critical.
The suction tube gurgles pink water. Taste of iron and mint. My tongue trapped under dental dam while democracy bleeds out on mute television. Perfect fucking symmetry.
Phone in pocket buzzes against hip bone. Can’t check it. Hands gripping armrests like I’m falling out of a republic.
“You’ve got some buildup on the lower incisors,” hygienist continues, oblivious or indifferent to the news crawl. “Have you been flossing?”
Assassination at 2 AM. Man dressed as cop. AK-style weapons. The details drip into consciousness like novocaine, numbing everything they touch. I try to nod about flossing but the tools prevent movement. Democracy’s molars crumble while I can’t even close my jaw.
Melissa Hortman. Dead at scene. Multiple gunshot wounds.
The overhead light burns retinal afterimages. Hygienist hums something unrecognizable. Country music or hymn or both. Her gloved fingers taste like institutional latex, that specific medical flavor of enforced vulnerability. I breathe through my nose. Count ceiling tiles. Try not to think about how this same helplessness scales up to continental collapse.

Swap out some mindless scrolling for this post, I bet you learn something or, at the very least, find it interesting.
Being wrong—really wrong—is actually a great way to figure out what’s really right. In this post I cover health, socialising, rationality, information and being 'nice'.
Prove me wrong, I love it

By Hand · Five Things I Was Wrong About (Until I Was Right)The truth matters. But I’ve learned that getting to it usually means being wrong first. And being wrong—really wrong—is the best way to figure out what’s actually right.
Because of that, I don’t get too attached to what I believe—just to the idea that

Clarification of my #introduction
I will post my #poetry, explications of #scienceFiction and #ethics, notes and memos, and #longform posts. #Humanities background. I type everything I write, except poetry. I write poems with #fountainPens on dot grid notebooks. I sometimes make revisions transcribing my poetry. I will share morning reads in #ecology and #astronomy. Independent and ongoing #research is related to Post-Violence Societies, feminist theology, and, still, space and place, after all these years. Large scholarly library, the majority of which is African American #history and progressive theology. Doing my best to live a post-growth lifestyle.

Saddened to learn that the venerable #LONGFORM #journalism interviews #podcast is ending after 12 solid years. Today’s next-to-last episode was with Ta-Nehisi Coates—his seventh interview on the podcast over the years. I’ve listened to all seven as they were released.
Thanks for all the great interviews, LONGFORM.

The New Propaganda War (@TheAtlantic): “[The new authoritarians] lie constantly, blatantly, obviously. But they don’t bother to offer counterarguments when their lies are exposed. (…) Fear, cynicism, nihilism, and apathy, coupled with disgust and disdain for democracy: This is the formula that modern autocrats, with some variations, sell to their citizens and to foreigners,” writes @anneapplebaum

I'm looking to set up a single-user ActivityPub federated instance for longer-form posts by my alt (the one where I talk about my spectrum and life issues more openly and deeply. Often not for the faint of heart!).
I could just use WordPress, as that's what I use for https://blog.europlus.zone/, but I'm open to other suggestions.

@markmcelroy Sounds like a nasty bug in the #Longform plugin. I’ve been thinking of switching from #Scrivener for longform projects, but I think I’ll hold off for a while to see what shakes out.
You should be able to restore your files with the File Recovery core plugin, and #Obsidian Sync can also restore deleted files if you use it.
