We had an great time this evening at our first "Tacoma Pottery Salon" event hosted at Tacoma Pottery.
The guest speaker tonight was the renowned Marge Levy, one of her pieces attached.
Was awesome to hear her story and inspiration for all these years and how it morphed and flowed with time, which was very inspiring itself.

Little jumping spider I saw walking around after work walking to my car, I was so excited to try and grab a picture I forgot to adjust the aperture.
Then I spent the next couple of minutes trying to carefully get it off my camera as it decided to jump on my lens and run amok in my flash diffuser leaving webs everywhere.

For those following along with my saga about #yunohost and #mastodon, I found the solution to my images not loading. Here it is:
I found the solution!
It seems an older bug has creeped into the system. So, here is how I fixed the issue.
First of all, mastodon was not in the www-data group. Not sure why, but this matters for some reason. I fixed that by using the following:
sudo su -
usermod -aG mastodon www-data
nginx -s reload
Then to finish the permission error, I ran the following inside /var/www/mastodon:
chmod -R 750 /var/www/mastodon
Now the images display as expected. Not sure if this is a wide-spread problem, but good to know for the future if anyone else has this issue.

“They Want to Silence Me”: Columbia Student Mohsen Mahdawi on ICE Jail, Palestine, Activism, Buddhism

Vaccines are not only immensely useful; they also embody something beautifully human in their combination of care and communication. Vaccines do not trick the immune system, as is sometimes said; they educate and train it. As a resource of good public health, they allow doctors to whisper words of warning into the cells of their patients. Vaccines are not conspiracies or tools of control; they are molecular loving-kindness.

Hot damn, my touch-typing is HYPER inaccurate, especially when transcribing text.
I think it's too late in my life to actually build this skill. 🙁
@bjb I just worry that my habits are too ingrained.
When I tell you I'm a fast typist I mean it. Like, really fast.
So what I'm worried about is that I'll get frustrated with not typing quickly enough and just throw my computer into a dumpster.
I should try though.
The 100+ wpm was calculated as the actual wpm minus some value for each mistake. And it counted mistakes. So you could choose to work more on speed, or more on accuracy. Eventually, both improve. Seems in your case you already have speed.
