Matera the Mad @matera@mastodon.sdf.org

She lives in a tree
sleeps in the winter
wakes in the springtime
sings with my voice

Birds are her children
wild beasts her sons
the sea is her daughter
mother of all

Rain is her house
clouds the roof of it
many her windows
lit by the moon

She walks in the meadows
clad only in wind
sweet rivers pour down
from her mountains

As I expected, Parler has gone to a Russian server.

The Moon is tempting me, but I am not going to go out with camera and tripod and freeze my fingers.
Damn.

I wish gmail had an interface that allowed making the font big enough to see while showing enough text to read. But that will happen when pigs fly, Chrome becomes my favorite browser, and the sun rises in the west.

As I said earlier, it's a distracting day.

I'd rather have all my shit go blank and my menu disappear in Linux than in Windwoes. Hella lot easier tyo fix.

No idea why the menu vanished, though it might have been a hiccup unrelated to the dir-slip. I have seen it happen before, I think.

oyfg what a relief. All the eye-cons are back after a reboot. I only had to re-instate the wallpaper.

Must watch out for those mis-mousings.

This was double-scary because Pictures is a biggie in more ways than size.

But funny 🤣

no, my bad, not user-dirs.xbel, it's user-dirs.dirs 🤣 🤣 🤣

I wouldn't know the file existed if I didn't eff up once in a while!
