Blackthorn. A local favourite for sweet liquors, but they have to "get frost" first. Nowadays it hardly ever gets cold enough while they are ripe, so you have no other options but to put them in the freezer.
I once tried eating one just like that, it was not a pleasant experience.
After some weeks (or months?) in which I had no time for maintaining my collection of media acocunts in the #Fediverse (fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview…) it seems like #Ghost has grown too big: They have federated so many sites 🤯
All their news-sites are here:
explore.ghost.org/news
Just search with "@" + URL here and you'll see one of them is federated.
And if you find one, why not tagging me here, so I can include them?
Oh and boosting this post, may also help 😁

Seriously, though, in case you are not familiar; unlike dogs, cats live in full 3D space, and higher up is always better in terms of observing anything. So expect him to spend more time up there. And on top of anything else you never expected him to be able to get onto 😂
Also, I have to compliment him on his choices; large window, good view of the approach angles, no dogs to bother him, AND a wall socket in case he ever needs to charge any of his personal devices.

The image shows an abstract painting with a predominantly textured, painterly appearance. The color palette is dominated by shades of blue and orange, with some areas featuring a blending of the two. Thick, expressive brushstrokes and splatters create a dynamic and chaotic composition. There are visible layers of paint, suggesting a process of building up the image over time. The overall impression is one of movement and energy.

Desxifrem la regex de la vinyeta: ^[\w-.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4}$
^: marca l’inici de línia. Fa que l’expressió que segueix sigui l’inici de línia, que no estigui per allà al mig[\w-.]+:[abc]: representa 1 sol caràcter a triar entre a, b o c.\w: equivalent aa-zA-Z0-9, és a dir, qualsevol lletra majúscula o minúscula, dígit i barra baixa. Les lletres amb accent NO estan incloses-: el caràcter guió-, no té significat especial.: el caràcter punt. Dins dels claudàtors, no té significat especiala+: una o més lletres a. Darrere d’un grup de caràcters, [abc]+ vol dir un o més de qualsevol d’aquests caràcters, en qualsevol ordre i distribució (aaa, ab, ccacbcba)
@;: caràcter literal arroba, sense significat especial([\w-]+\.)+(aaa)+Una repetició o més del grup dins dels parèntesis[\w-]+: un o més caràcters de lletres maj//min, números, guions alts i baixos\.: un punt, caràcter normal. Li hem de posar \ davant, perquè sinó vol dir “qualsevol caràcter”
[\w-]{2,4}: un caràcter alfanumèric, guió baix (inclòs a \w) o alt, i tantes vegades com el rang entre claus: entre 2 i 4: és a dir, 2, 3 o 4 caràcters de tal grup.$: final de línia. Envoltar l’expressió entre^i$fa que la línia hagi de coincidir de forma completa amb el patró, la regex. No pot representar-ne només un trosset.
Per tant, algunes línies que coincidirien amb aquest patró són:
- una-adresa.de_mail@gmail.com
- unaaltra@molts-subdominis.dins.un.altre.net
I una adreça vàlida que no funcionaria, perquè diu que l’última part només pot tenir 4 dígits:
- admin@mastodon.online (“online” és més llarg que 4 caràcters)
Una adreça invàlida que no coincideix (està ben fet el patró:
- error@.domini.net Perquè el punt no pot anar just després de l’arroba. Si es pogués, podríem haver simplificat
([\w-]+\.)+com a[\w-.]+Fer-ho com està, fa que hi hagi d’haver almenys un caràcter abans d’un posible punt.
Dues adreces més, que farien servir dominis “locals”, de xarxes internes:
- admin@localhost seria vàlida.
- admin@lc no ho seria, perquè després de @, ha d’haver-hi 1 o més caràcters + entre 2 i 4 caràcters. És a dir, mínim 3.
Conclusió: tota regex és sempre incompleta. Buscar la regex perfecta ens condemna a escriure la biblia… en arameu i escriptura cuneïforme. Millor buscar regex prou bones per les dades que volem acceptar.

I grew up on food stamps and free school lunches. I remember going to food pantries and walking out with peanut butter and shelf-stable cheese in stark white containers with black lettering.
I didn't always like what we had to eat (I hated peanut butter!), but I was lucky enough to never go hungry.
The Trump administration's refusal to pay SNAP benefits is galling to me on a very personal level.
I can't change their minds. I don't have billions of dollars to give to people who need help. But I can do some good. Will you join me in donating to your local food pantry?
If you want to tell me how much you've donated, J and I will contribute that amount to United Food Bank (up to $1000). We're matching $200 in donations so far!
Don't live in the US? Donate to your local food pantry anyway! I'm sure they can use the help no matter where you are.
Everyone deserves to eat.
"The founder of a startup business that helps employers and parents with parental leave is asking whether it's fair that parents are taxed as individuals.
Stephanie Pow said she regularly helped parents navigate their entitlements, including Working for Families and Family Boost.
All of these supports are assessed on the basis of household income.
But when it came to tax, that is applied on an individual basis."
#SusanEdmunds, 2025

Benefits should be individual too.
@tim
> Either option would be better than the status quo for households
Cool. So consider the situation of a solo Dad who starts dating someone with a job. WINZ gets wind of this, declares they're now "in a relationship", and means tests his benefit entitlements against her income and assets.
Now he either has to break up with a woman he may have only just started seeing, or depend on her to support him and her kids. She has an equally stark choice.
Individual entitlements are the way.

Inspired by someone else talking about their name, and I think this counts as a creative fact because I chose my own name (and made it official almost a year ago): the T stands for Trivia.
Yes, Trivia is my middle name. Following the example set by my friend @BestGirlGrace Grace *Danger* Lovelace.
I considered making my middle name Wisdom, but decided that was too pretentious.

I started needlecraft as a non-media habit during graduate school.
