Pic of the day, 2019, Mt Granier, "Clouds and Cliffs"

Yesterday I went on a hike with a friend, and we went high enough that we spent most of the hike inside the clouds.
I was quiet surreal, and more than a bit magical.
It was also the first time I hiked a trail with over 1100 m elevation gain!
(is that the right way to say it? any hiking bilingual peep around? 1100m de dénivelé positif cumulé...)

I don't really believe in robots that will be hell bent on destroying humanity when they gain sentience. Like have you ever really watched a human? We pack bond with inanimate objects. We give names to everything from our phones, to cars, to coffee pots, and satellites. We say thank you to things for doing their jobs. We actively mourn having to get rid of unusable tech. I mean scientists taught the Mars Rover to sing Happy birthday to itself and bought a cake to celebrate with it, so.. like..

Let's be perfectly clear what happened in MS: Koch Foods proactively decided to break the law in order to make more money and hired undocumented immigrants. When workers fought for back wages, Koch Foods called ICE leaving their workers' children without parents. https://twitter.com/sensiablue/status/1159597925305147398

ad experience, yeah let's talk about my ad experience. I fucking hate your ads. and my ad choices is: no ads. thanks for asking

Kinda pointless to say this since no newbie will see it before doing it but:

Mastodon.art is not that large: if you come in and dump every bit of your back catalog, you will overwhelm the local timeline. At best, folks will only give your last post or two a look. At worst, folks will mute you. (If you're lucky, we'll remember to unmute you later). Pace yourself.

I don't know who is making fun of people for having "a small penis" lately, but honestly, if people could stop doing that that'd be really great.

Having a small penis is something a lot of people have and there's nothing wrong with it. When you make fun of someone for it, you're hurting a lot of people, including trans men for whom a lot struggle with this.

Never shame people for their appearance or body image. That's shitty.

I've added a couple new headers to my Increasingly Less-Brief Guide to Mastodon in the last few days, to address some questions I've seen from new users:

* Why should I add a caption to my picture?
* Why can't I search for a specific word or phrase?
* Why can't I quote someone's toot, like a quote-tweet?
* Weird, my server doesn't have a bunch of these features.

I've also changed the list of phone apps I recommend after some useful feedback.

While I'm at it, I'm going to make one more thread of posts, and that's about how you can support •ART.

As many of you know, to accommodate our recent influx of new users I had to purchase a server upgrade to handle the extra weight.

Our instance is fully hosted and managed by @mastohost, who does such a fantastic job keeping us updated and running smoothly!

But it also costs money every month, and we rely on the support of our users to keep going.
