From @pluralistic:

"Earlier this year, many people with Argus optical implants – which allow blind people to see – lost their vision when the manufacturer, Second Sight, went bust.

"Nano Precision Medical, the company's new owners, aren't interested in maintaining the implants, so that's the end of the road for everyone with one of Argus's 'bionic' eyes. The $150,000 per eye that those people paid is gone, and they have failing hardware permanently wired into their nervous systems.

"Having a bricked eye implant doesn't just rob you of your sight – many Argus users experience crippling vertigo and other side effects of nonfunctional implants. The company has promised to 'do our best to provide virtual support' to people whose Argus implants fail – but no more parts and no more patches."

Do any of you use a non-apple brand of smart watch?

Do any of them have watch faces that display the time:

24 hour analog "slow time" there is only one hand and it moves 360 degrees in 24 hours.

Non-linear analog the angle traversed by hours is wider during the middle of the day and more narrow at night.

Some kind of watch calendar mash up?

What is the best time display out there right now?

“She held no formal title but was a living reminder of #Hawaii’s monarchy and a symbol of Hawaiian national identity that endured after the kingdom was overthrown by American businessmen in 1893.”

Anarchism, to me, means not only the denial of authority, not only a new economy, but a revision of the principles of morality. It means the development of the individual as well as the assertion of the individual. It means self-responsibility, and not leader worship.

I deeply apologize- the messages are lost to the Mastodon chaos migration. An incredibly kind person sent me some of their arnis books and video tapes. I cannot find your account to thank you!!! Please message me. I only have your first name.

Writer Katherine "Kit" Kerr has not had an easy time, the past 12 years. Her beloved husband died. . .slowly. Money for house repairs went to his care.

She's been without an oven two years. One of her old friends thought maybe we could do something about it. It's a small thing, but will help our 77 year old friend a great deal.

Boosts are also a great help! #GoFundMe

So what are our Twitter-Mastodon strategies people?

Which one best describes you?...

Please re-share for larger numbers.

Based on a thread originally posted here, I wrote an article for Medium about why #Elon Musk's behavior matches the profile of coercive control #abuse, why it's harmful to speculate on his #MentalHealth, and how to care for yourself if you're experiencing a #trauma response to his #Twitter takeover and assaults on marginalized communities.

If you're a #survivor, you know what I'm talking about.

My Goroka Sing Sing Series

#indigenous people

See Photo 1 of 6 for a description of the Sing Sing.

Every year, about 100 of PNG’s tribes gather to compete in dancing, singing, and drumming. I photographed this event a few years ago, and it remains one of the most mind-blowing displays of humanity I’ve ever seen and in the top three of the most remote places I've traveled. Each tribe dances into the festival grounds wearing an incredible variety of costumes made from feathers, fur, shells, their faces often painted in elaborate make up. Each tribe having its own amazing costume

Although the festival has become well-known, I would guess that less than100 tourists were present to witness this incredible event. It’s hard to describe the intensity of the singing and visual impact it has when you first see each tribe enter.

Prior to the start of the festival, I was in a handful of tourists that was taken to view the make-up and costume preparation of the Hagan Tribe, which had some of the most elaborate feathers and even bird wings in their head dresses (see photos 2, 3)

If you have questions about how to visit Goroka, let me know. It's a difficult place to get to, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Top 100 Board Games of All Time, 2022 Edition (20-11)

One of the fun things about this process is going through old lists I made years ago, and wondering what I was thinking. “Oh, wow, I sure did rank that game high. What was I thinking?!?” I want to stress that that’s because I was young and stupid then. Now, of course, I am old and wise, and this list is, of course, flawless in every way.

TIP OF THE DAY

Use and Follow #hashtags !!!

Mastodon has no ads, 500 chars, 5 pins, and edits, but the best thing is NO ALGORITHM. On the birdsite you are force-fed by an algorithm. A mishmash of your history, likes, follows and whatever Twitter wants to cram into you. With NO ALGORITHM, you are in control. Your feeds are just who and what you follow, and you can follow #hashtags .

Include #hashtags liberally so others can follow your ideas.
