Been tinkering with my Obsidian setup today. Testing to see if this actually posts where it’s supposed to. It should end up on Mastodon, via micro.blog, using the micro.publish plugin. If you can see this, the new workflow is working. Hurrah! (Hopefully.) #obsidian #microblog

So it seems Digg has been resurrected! I’m not sure I hold out much hope for it, but I made an account and wrote a little about it over here: fairieswearboots.org/blog/digg…

Today didn’t go quite as planned. But… I found a new idle game to play (Upload Labs), I signed up for an account on tilde.town, there was a new Ren drop, and The Skinner Brothers announced a festival date later this year. So not a bad day at all, really.

I’ve been tinkering! Managed to revive my neglected site with Eleventy and the help of an excellent template. ❤️ fairieswearboots.org/blog/my-j…

Feeling extra tired today, so think I’ll head to bed early and read for a little while. This little monster will keep me company. She seems to like snuggling up beside me when I’m reading. 📷🐈‍⬛😻

Currently reading: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman 📚

Tomorrow: 🎶 I had a weird dream that featured the song “Tomorrow” by U2, so thought I’d write a little about it.

Finished Reading: The Wells of Hell: 📚 Revisiting Graham Masterton’s “The Wells of Hell” got me out of a reading slump but revealed it to be less enjoyable and more cheesy than remembered.

Plans for 2026: Some meaningful changes I want to make in 2026. Namely reading, blogging and possibly photography related.

Another from the archive. It’s Caturday, so how could I not include one of my lovely Panda! Sadly no longer with us, but never forgotten.

Winging it: I’ve been threatening to start photography again for a long time. I’ve said it several times over social media, posting in the hope that I will feel accountable and actually start doing it. Thus far it hasn’t happened but lately I’ve really been feeling the urge to create …

Today’s image from the archive. Taken at Pickering train station in Pickering, UK. (It’s a lovely place if you ever get the chance to visit!)

Thought I might post an image each day from my archive. It might motivate me to pick up the camera again!

Tonight’s adventures in procrastination have brought me this: jac.omg.lol Actually seems like a nifty service for the price. Haven’t really looked into all the other features besides the hosted profile yet, there’s a lot for the money!

Just testing the ios app. Then I’ll maybe see about setting up cross posting to Bluesky and / or Mastodon. I need sleep though, so that’s a job for tomorrow.

Ok, it’s gone 2am now. I should probably stop exploring micro.blog and go to bed.

Welcome to winter: Winter is closing in once again. It’s felt pretty chilly the last week or so! What better time to re-evaluate your online presence?
