@Absinthe I have seen those pasta straws on web reports, yes -- and they are compostable after use, or you can chomp it down yourself and get some nutrients. Definitely better than plastic straws either way.

@Iambharani Very nice, thank you for posting it! 👍

@Lyle Great photo, where is it located?

Thanks for posting it, nice model indeed.

@mngrif Don't Tempt me... 😜

@Hedieh I am the same way too - it helps settle down the spirit and clean up your thoughts.

Have a good day, Hedieh.

* Letter to a Friend on Christmas morning *

Just wrote a reply to a good friend, a penpal via the #Slowly app.

She sent me a nice letter and was not pleased with the multitude of tabs in use in my too busy browser .

Now the story is on my blog: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/letter-to-a-friend-christmas-morning #xp

And I jsut received a really nice Japanese Crane stamp from a friend in #Slowly.

Love it - thank you! Now responding to your letter.

Had to share a snapshot for the friends who dig the stamp collecting in @slowlyapp - another of the neat ideas in this project. #xp #penpals

Wired Magazine has an article on LibraryThing versus another competitor.

@SecondJon I joined there many years ago, paid a one time fee and have the account.

200 books is not much for someone actively collecting and reading, agreed. I had seen mention somewhere of how to get a free account with them -- will see if I could find that again.

They now have a mobile app, and that should ease adding new books, allowing isbn code scanning I imagine. I entered all of mine by typing them in at the time.

@Hedieh To access mastodon network? School blocking you?

I use and recommend Proton VPN, they offer a free account with a limited number of servers, but it works. Paid accounts get many more choices.

Goodreads is well know and popular. LibraryThing less so -- Although some (like me) might prefer it.

Less social, more books and info. Faerye has a blog post with her comparison of the Two - great idea!
