@whateveryouart ancaster mill!
@codebryo ah, haven’t used jira since ~2016, sounds like it hasn’t changed much! used to spend so much time trying to tweak it or just jumping through the hoops of someone else’s convoluted scrum process
Long thread/8
@pluralistic why are all your images marked as “sensitive”? also: hey, glad you’re here!
@elk hey, love elk but haven’t been able to use it since moving to qoto.org from mastodon.social… qoto admins have no idea why. anything on your end?
i keep thinking about the ideas from this video. could this work in ontario? (don't get hung up on the hippy art aesthetic)

bothers me that spots like this — walkable, multi-level, human scale, tied in with nature — are so rare around here that they're basically exclusively used for weddings.
@levisan @BackwardsFeet hah yes! this would be an easy conversion for most church basements. honestly only downside i can see of doing the church as house thing is your heating costs are crazy unless you get rid of the vaulted ceilings, even if they’ve still got a boiler. wonder if thats solvable w heat pumps or something.
went to the fillmore in detroit last night with @yo_peej to see the national play. what an ornate space! excellent set too, def worth the drive.
@cereal this is so close to the premise of a cory doctorow short story from his book “radicalized”—the inspiration maybe? hah
@deltatux ive got some of these at my desk! didn’t realize they were a thing of the past. shows how often i use coloured pencils, i guess

Found on Bluesky, and thought I'd share here.
The Sad Bastard Cookbook: Food you can make so you don't die
From a co-author;
"I co-wrote a cookbook for depressed people and other folks with zero spoons, only knives. It's not meant to be gourmet cooking so much as a survival guide for late stage capitalism. And you can get it for free!"
@Eggfreckles huh! have been curious about giving linux a whirl. maybe now i know which flavour!

"Getting rid of physical books because we now have databases is like getting rid of sunshine because of the existence of vitamin-D pills and cod liver oil." --love that.
a cogent plea for keeping physical libraries available:

Bonus pro-tip: Use 6- or 12-up muffin tins for toppings to make burger/taco bars.
@levisan oh nice. i’d love to live in an old church, but a bowling alley would be sick too
